Contour looks good for the money from reading i think you need D/C power for the audio card??
another alternative is a Allen and Heath - K2 which has a built in audio interface.

Yes, you do need ext power for Contour.Quote:

By default, the Contour mapping is set to control deck volume with the jog wheel when none of the 4 "jog modes" are selected, but I removed that straight away as I mix externally.
Personally I have mine mapped so that it's a normal jogwheel (touch-sensitive scratch + pitchbend on the outside) when no specific mode is enabled, Flux in "Scratch" mode, then pitchbend-only in "Pitchbend" mode, with shift+pitchbend as a tempo fader, then track position (rapid seek) in "Search" mode, then a deck browser in "Trax" mode.
another alternative more traditional look (with the addition on a pitch slider) is the Denon DN-SC2000 (no audio)
Thanks for the inputs!
sc2000 has a nice pitch fader, great for beatmatching as well as being built like a tank
a negative is that its push encoders are all notched which you may not like using for some functions
Thanks scooterADAM!
If I had to strip it down tomorrow to a bare bones set-up, and money was an issue, I'd go for:
DDM 4000 and Zomo MC-1000
Pretty bad-ass set-up for less than £500.
Thanks Patch! Just checked those 2 out and seem like another pretty good option. Now I'll have to check all the price /value differences amongst the feedback I received.
I like this too! dollar wise anyways. so what about soundcard. Any other suggestion for soundcard with portability and good asio drivers for audio production???Quote:
