£1000 for traktor setup

Requirements:

To control 3 decks in traktor
To have a channel dedicated to a unit like Maschine for samples and sequences with pad playablity
I like the idea of adding additional effects units in the future

Suggestions?

do you need jogwheels?

Nope not at all.

You did those youtube videos with DB4/X1700?

What do you already own? I'm not a brit and not used to UK pricing, but I'm thinking that might be a little tight if you don't already own at least Maschine.

The complicated part is adding external effects later. There aren't actually that many DJ mixers with send/return loops or effects inserts, and the ones that have them are a little on the pricy side.

You can pick up a preowned Xone:62 for around £300-£500 on ebay UK.

Edit: add a Xone:K1, a 4 stereo out interface, and you might have some spare!

Well technically I'm not even UK based any more as I moved to Qatar Doha. I was in Bradford 6 years ago.

Yes Db4 and sc2000. I purchased the db4 when it first came out but its more expensive now than it was then. Can't justify that cost now for what is some bedroom fun.

Well you still seem to need a external mixer of some sort (because of the option to later add an external effects unit) so I don't know what to suggest. Dan suggested a Xone 62, seems like a good choice. You already owned the Denon X1700 so you know if it suits your needs, a X1600 may be a good budget choice paired with 2x X1.

This is what I'd do with a grand:

Traktor
Behringer DDM4000 Mixer
ZOMO MC-1000 Controller w/integrated audio interface (4-stereo outs)
Akai MPD Controller (connected to a remix deck in Traktor)

This will give you all the playability you'd like (3 deck mixing + 1 channel for playing samples/finger drumming w/the MPD). The DDM4k has TWO assignable FX units. I seriously LOVED my DDM4K. Had a lot of fun with it. And it never left my house - so there was no issues with the Behringers *perceived* build quality.

Well under your £1k.
