Should I upgrade to digital vinyl?

**Roo** · 06-22-2011, 09:01 AM

I'm Currently using a Numark Omni Controller with Traktor Pro and I'm fairly new to the scene. I've been looking in to Traktor scratch and serato scratch and a few friends have recommended upgrading. Also if i did, could i use the omni control as a mixer?

I was considering 1200s/1210s with maybe a pioneer djm 350 and traktor scratch pro 2.
Would love some help with this because its a good bit of cash to spend.

cheers.

Yes you will be able to use it as a mixer.
You will be mixing internally and the controller controls it.

You will have to have a NI Soundcard that is Traktor Scratch compliant and have a version of Traktor Scratch.

Then you input your TT's into the sound card and use your Timecode vinyls.

BOOM!

Thanks man, what soundcard should I get? It seems like you can only buy the software in packages including the soundcard. Does the audio 2 have enough inputs?

The audio 2 has no inputs. You'd need an audio 4/6/8/10

I bought the 4DJ on its own.

Dunno if you can still do that.

Surely you can...

He can get a used A4, but he is still gonna need a Scratch license. ($400 for owners of NI's timecode capable soundcards or certified mixers)

Maybe get a used SDuo system, sell his Pro license on the side, pay the $80 for TSP2 or $50 for TSD2 and get a pair of control vinyls on the side. Seem like the cheapest route.
