Need Advice Choosing Setup!

[cpetticrew]

I suggest you to get the controller that can be used as a stand-alone mixer, such as VCI-400, DDJ-SX, and etc...., to use it with your laptop.

In the future, if you want to add iPad to your setup, or even use it as your only device, you can just plug it to your controller and use it as a mixer. Traktor DJ can be split to 2-channel via splitter cable (mono) or A6, A10 (stereo).

Dude doesn't need to be forking out the cash on a vci-400 or ddj-sx right now with him just learning the basics

The Traktor DJ app doesn't support Midi yet. So basically, it's best for track prep. You can integrate it into your setup, but it's too early to worry about building around it. Like others have said, get an S2 and learn how to mix. It's really easy to get into gear lust and forget why you started playing music in the first place.

SeanB,
I'd suggest you to get yourself an S2 or wait a bit more for CMD studio 4A.

The CMD Studio 4a doesnt allow you to input anything though.

SeanB check you private messages I sent you one I want ya to check out

Didn't you said about already having an external audio interface?

Get a Xone K:2 or wait for the MM-1 but the xone will give you a 4-channel soundcard and has dedicated pages that you can add anything very easily. I use a launchpad and a K-2 to do everything in traktor except for key control need to figure out what page I want that on haha. This type of setup would allow you to run everything on usb only. Its nice only have to plug in a comp charger.

So basically so everyone knows i started this thread cause ill have 800$ Friday to either purchase an all in one controller or go modular
Alot of pros and cons for both sides.

I want to get a set up together that also allows room to add an ipad on the side in the future.

So im thinking of an
x1, x1, audio 6, ipad for set up. That works right?

I was checking out the Novation Twitch a few months ago. Whats the consensus on it? If it allows me to input an external instrument that's a plus. witch the s2 doesn't do
