Behringer BCD3000 or Vestax Spin?

You'd need a bigger soundcard, Traktor can only use one audio device at a time. There may be a Windows program or something that can aggregate 2 devices like you can on the Mac, but I'm not aware of what it would be.

Aw that's a shame, i guess i'll have to get an Audio 4 or something later. I guess midi controllers will have to do for effects right now!

Apparently you can use ASIO4ALL to aggregate windows audio devices, but I've never tried it. Core audio all the way

Wait! I smell misinformation here!!!

You can take RCA output of MIDI controller (like BCD300) into the Mixer. However, that would only give you one channel on the external mixer.

I have a BCD3000 and an Audio 2 DJ (and I highly recommend this combination). However, if you don't want the BCD3000, make sure to get an audio 2 dj!

If you are NOT scratching/will use MIDI devices, you only need an Audio 2DJ.

Plug Channel A of Audio 2 into Channel A of Mixer, Channel B to B and use your controller as a regular MIDI Controller. However, if you are using an external mixer, then there really isn't any point in getting something like a BCD3000 unless you are going to map the EQs and faders to something else.

This is what I do all the time and it works. No problems. PM me if you want to chat about specifics

Ahh i see, thanks Nales!

i decided i'm gonna get the Vestax Spin tomorrow, i wish it was a Typhoon but i can't find anyone selling one atm.

That's good to know that an Audio 2 DJ will work for an external mixer, Audio 4 and up's get pretty pricey. I will probably get an Audio 2DJ later on.
For now i might get a Midi controller like Novation Nocturn (Possibly Nano Kontrol) to control effects, i think it will do for starting out.

I do have a Novation Launchpad already, but i cant get the LEDs to work in Virtual DJ :/
i could use that for some effects if i could get the LEDs working.

But i like the LED rings on the Nocturn, i think it would be nice to use on the side of a DJ controller!
