II am a newbie, yet, was doing some research for a somewhat portable setup. Thus, was wondering if I didn't need scratch capability, will the X1/F1/Audio 2 do the job? Your inputs would be appreciated! Thanks!

If you just wanna use your laptop and X1/F1/A2 combo then that should be a nice portable set up. Just make sure you have enough usb slots.
Yes it will do the job just fine you could even go for an X1/ A&H K2 and have almost the same options. though could not controll the Remix decks.
Thanks Big Panda & dj gullum, your inputs are appreciated! I already own an F1, so my plan was to add the X1 & A2. dj gullum - did a little googling on the A&H K2 and saw some of the differences/options...though I prefer inputs directly from the users like you. Can either of you provide additional user inputs on the A&H K2 or point me to some reference mtl's? I'll keep searching around. Again, thanks!
There in an official K2 thread on here I think, read on there that the sound card is pretty quiet.
Also F1 and X1 look great together.
To be honest I have no experience of K2 though
Thanks again...I did find the thread and will read a little bit more, yet, leaning towards the X1 (adding to my F1) plus the A2. The only issue would be the lack of direct faders on the X1.
Personally I'd add a Contour instead of the X1, as you get a jogwheel (which can be mapped for tempo, pitchbend AND scratch control) AND a 4+1-deck (10-out) ridiculously low-latency (sub-5ms) audio interface built in. It'll cost you less than the X1 and the Audio 2 as well.Quote:
