    The VCI does look pretty good. But again, I don't think i'd use a lot of features on that mixer. I almost never use the jog wheels on my Omni Control as it is (that and i've had a really tough time mapping those out for some reason). I think the X Session is a bit limited based on pictures that I have seen, and won't be a proper fit for my interests.

    After thinking about it, I think i'm going to skip getting a midifighter for now (I'm not comfortable using two controllers at the same time right now) and just get a mixer.

    I saw that Numark sells the 'Stealth Control', which is basically the same thing as I have now but without a soundcard. Am I better off keeping the omni control or buying a Stealth Control with an external soundcard?

    I can't see any point in doing that.

    If you're really short of cash why don't you get a cheap mixer and soundcard and mix externally:

    Would the Numark M1 USB be a good choice?
    I actually just discovered it last night, and have heard NOTHING about it, so if anyone is familiar with it, i would appreciate some tips.

    it does only cost $100, but i just looked it up quickly, AND YOU CAN'T CHANGE THE CF CURVE. that just boils my piss, especially when some sites call it a "scratch mixer"

    To practice at home a DDM4000 will be your perfect choice!
    Buy one now and if you don't play out a lot you can wait and later buy an Audio 2 to play out with external mixing (using the club's mixer and keeping your ddm4000 at home) when the gigs starts to come...
