    Default Mixer for Traktor Scratch Pro

    Hey, I'm in need of some help here. I've been saving money to buy a really good set and I already have my eye on some Technics 1210's and the new X1 control. The only thing I need now is a good mixer to fit into that set and run great with Traktor Scratch Pro.

    Ant suggestions?

    The Korg Zero 4 is a nice start, those mixers are very ace, and have all sorts of functions

    that question would be a lot easier to answer if you told us what you're going to do with your set-up (e.g. genre, number of channels wanted, etc.)

    numark omni control does the same stuff as the x1 with the added bonus of a jog wheel built in sound card mic monitor etc and cross fader its a great all in one unit. I would also recommend a NI Mashine great for mixing too

    Chrismp,

    The genre of music will be basically House, electro house and Hip hop along with others from time to time. As far as the number of channels go... I'm pretty much stumped on that one. I'm not really sure as to get a 2 channel or 4 channel mixer since im getting the X1 control and the 1210's. Plus I need the right mixer that can be used for scratching hip hop and mixing the electro if that makes any sense.

    well, i'd recommend getting a four channel mixer for those kind of genres since you'll probably start getting interested in four deck mixing.
    there are quite a few options for you out there.
    the most popular ones would be the allen&heath xone 92/42 and the pioneer djm800 (which has some midi-capabilities as well). the new denon dn-x1600 looks pretty nice too, but isnt out yet.
    and the mentioned korg zero-4 and mackie d4 are also worth considering (the zero has some cool midi functions).
    the ecler evo series could work for you as well.

    bare in mind the korg zero's have no 64 bit drivers still.... and korg refuses to address this pitafull situation (f u korg!). My 1800 dollar zero 8 is collecting dust on a shelf... Grab a Behringer DDM4000 and slap and innofader in it!

    Chrismp,

    I was looking at some of those as well. I think I'll stick to my first pick which was the Pioneer DJM800. It's more commonly used and I think it'll go well with my set up. Thanks again though.

    DJM800 would work well for all purposes. Ecler NUO4 is a damn good choice for what you said. mixing and scratching.
