controller or mixer?

[fullenglishpint]

I want a 16 channel mixer but I only use iTunes. I know how OP feels.

[d.julius]

not that I can only mix 2, but I will use my DDM4K in MIDI mode to start the mix in 4 channel

dude i´m out.

[Nicky H]

wait! you have a soundcart dedicated for 3 decks, but you´d love to be able to mix with 4 decks, but you only use 2 decks?





are you sure you know what you want?

dude i´m out.

lololol

I'd prefer a mixer over controller, BUT thats just because a controller feels like too much of a downgrade.. (well at least the S4 did)

If you already have Traktor and are looking for a controller I'd say get a MC6000.
I have a sc2000 and x1600 and both are QUALITY and have great functionally..
I would have to imagine the MC6000 is quality as well.

random question

whats the sc2000 like to mix with? does it get a bit tricky trying to keep two tracks in sync with one jog operating both?

I love it!
I only ever need to beatmatch one tune into the mix at a time..
its awesome being able to switch effects units separately from the decks.
It has 4 banks, which can hold 2 decks and 2 FX pages on each, so their is A LOT of room for custom mapping.

The only place that I kind of run into trouble is during quick transition where I want to use a sample deck.
Lets say I want to spin back one, play a sample and play the next track.
You could easily setup a custom page for this scenerio,
(or I could even map some things to the x1600 to make it work)
BUT.. to give me more options at the tips of my fingers I picked up a midi fighter.
this way I can do instant grat. type stuff or have access to sample decks or other cues..
Its not a necessary add-on, just more for convenience!

ALSO.. the pitch "lock" mode lets you switch between 2 decks..
it won't read the pitch until its back to the spot where you last left it..
which is really nice when going back and fourth between tracks.

a real mixer. Just sold my S4 today and ordered the dn x1600. Won't ever look back. There is just something about the midi controller that doesn't suit me. Too wide, but too small, if you catch my drift. I love the feel of vinyl now since I got my feet wet and bought my technics. Absolutely love it. Threw some old Jethro Tull LP's on the last night and just sat there loving every second of it.

Glad to hear!
After getting my hands on an S4 I just couldn't do it..
I had to stick with the x1600

hopefully my budget will open up and I'll be able to get some new TTs soon.
..its been about a week since I sold mine and I miss them already!

Why'd you get rid of them? I don't think I'll ever give up my techs. They might be big and heavy but I love them. There is just nothing like the feel of a spinning vinyl record. You just cant get that with a jog wheel.
