Good USB Powered Mixer?

Hi,

So here's my situation. Just bought a novation launchpad and I want a dedicated mixer. I'm thinking korg nanokontrol, but I'd like to know what are some other options? Thanks!

Cheers,
Patrick

First, you want to learn the difference between a mixer and a controller.

Second, you want to tell us what you're hoping to accomplish. The nanokontrol might be perfect for what you're doing.

So could this.

sure, sorry about that and thanks for your quick response. I'd like something that would be able to let me control 3 EQ settings: low, mid, high. My only quip with the nanokontrol is that in only has one knob. aside from getting something like a hercules mk4 or rmx, what other options would i have? I've seen the novation nocturn, or maybe the zero sl mkII? thanks again

A&H Xone:K2 (when its released), NI Kontrol X1, akai LPD8... etc. The controller would really depend on what you're trying to accomplish.

If you're looking for a cheap and quick solution check out the M-audio x-session pro (Also known as the torq mixlab in some cases). I've seen them second hand for as little as $30 usd on this forum and cheaper on craigslist. A fair bit of controller considering the price, plus it's lay out is that of a dj mixer.:)

If you're just starting out and need something budget friendly, M- Audio X-Session Pro hands down. It lasted me forever and will always have a place in my heart!

thanks guys, I've heard great things about the x session pro/torq mix lab. a couple of questions though:

1. won't I need a sound card?
2. Is there a difference between the two? (x session pro/torq mixlab)

Thanks!
