cool, thanks for the input. I've been doing a lot of research even before i posted originally.
I've decided that i wanna sell my Numark Stealth and Audio2 and buy a Gigaport HD to use with my ddm4000.
I'm gonna try out mixing externally, which works out anyway in terms of midi controls bc i can still program parts of the ddm for midi, and im gonna get 2 dj-tech kontrol one's in the near future :D
I just caught this.
You're going to need that Audio2 if you want to do any monitoring.
I wouldn't be able to monitor from the cue section on the ddm??
If you're getting the Gigaport HD ( 4 pair of rca outputs ) then , YES, you can monitor from the DDM if you mix externally..
Oh my bad, I thought the Gigaport HD was a hard drive :P
actually, you can even get a second audio 2 and mix 4 channels externally by aggregating the two devices. I've tested this with an audio 4 and audio 2 and it works perfectly, at least in OS/X. You can do the same in Windows with Asioforall but I haven't tried it.
very true, forgot about that...although in this way you'll lose an usb port if you'll decide to plug 2 audio2...and if you're on mac...you know the score ;)Quote:

i sent channels a and b from my audio2 to channels 2 and 3 on the mixer.
using channel 1 as the sampler channel and channel 4 is unused so far.
also got a new Mic- AKG D5, very happy with this too.
up next, i need a midi-to-usb cable and the gigaport..
umm... i haven't gotten a midi-to-usb cable yet..
if i use the Mic section with midi enabled for that section, while i still be able to use a microphone??
The answer to that is no. You cannot use a microphone WHILE midi is enabled. The common workaround is to turn off the midi whenever you do want to use a mic. This will not have any negative effects during your performance. (I do this all the time, but a little to the extreme)
