I've got Traktor Scratch Pro and ableton live, not sure which to use though.
I've actually toyed w/ what you're wanting to do exactly (if I follow). The idea hit me hours before the auctions finished where I sold my Xone:1D & Audio 8. O_o Basically you want to have a CD-based set (standard club setup?) but also dick around w/ FX or maybe a 3rd deck? That's where the Xone & Traktor come in, and personally is what I would use. The Xone feels like a mini-deck, small footprint (kinda) and you don't have to cock about w/ a mouse or an APC-40. Just take your laptop, Xone:1D, and Audio4. There's basically no setup. Plug the Audio4 into one (or 2) of the channels on the mixer & viola. Of course you might have to unplug something.
