Hey folks,
I'm a potential convert from DJ'ing with Ableton + APC40. I'm really intrigued by Traktor, and would love to do more old-fashioned beatmatching techniques than the rigid warping provided by Live. Not to mention the ease with which you can DJ in Traktor -- it seems pretty sick.
I'm curious to know what a good beginner hardware setup might look like. I imagine I'll want a good controller, plus a solid sound card. Not to mention I'll want hardware that let's me plug in my headphones (I don't use phones for my APC40 + Live setup).
I'm using Windows 7 on a desktop PC, but I'd like to have gear that's flexible and can work with either a Windows 7 laptop or an OS X laptop.
My preliminary searches have yielded the following things that I find interesting:
Numark Mixtrack DJ Controller
Lastly, I don't see any reason not to use the APC40 to supplement my Traktor setup. Any advice (or stories about your setup) to that extent would be cool. I did pick up a .tsi for the APC40, and it provides some nice basic functionality, which I dig.
Looking forward to your input. Thanks!
