Looking to Buy a Cheap Mixer to use with Midifighters

[chaomocha]

My friend and I started out djing with a Numark Omni Control. While I like the Numark because of it's sturdy and sleek design, I find that it has a lot of features we really don't need or use since we purchased a midifighter. We are heading to seperate colleges, so i'm letting my friend keep the Numark and i'm going to buy a new mixer. However, I really don't know what to get, and i'd like to hear what DJ Techtools users use with their midifighters.

My basic requirements for the mixer is that it's sturdy, works with Traktor well (i'm not very good at making custom maps), a built in soundcard, and under 100 dollars.

Well I don't think u could do that all for under 100 big ones. I use an x session pro

Do you mean mixer as in external mixer or mixer style midi controller?

Agreed, this is pretty much out of the question, especially with a built-in SC. There are some pretty good Xsession Pro mappings in these forums too. It would require a sound card though.

Here's what you can do:

Audio 2 DJ - $99
Pyle-Pro PYD715 - $37 on Amazon (looks like a piece of shit but it's cheap)
-or-
Xsession Pro - I got one for $30 on eBay a few months ago

This is an extremely cheap way to go...

So I guess 100 dollars is out of the question. Let me rephrase my criteria

I want something similar to the X Session Pro, but I want it to be sturdy and work well with Traktor

I personally would prefer to buy something new

the x session is sturdy and works well with traktor i have no problems with it and i have bashed the thing.

I would take a used VCI-100se in the 350-450 range (as seen in the buy/sell forum) over a lot of brand new pieces of equipment (except the Tiwtch, which I am eagerly saving money for).

Not trying to give "bad" advice, but if I were heading into college right now I would definitely take out an extra couple hundred bucks in student loans for a controller I would use for years. Pay for it in 4 years. If you still have a great controller by then, count it as low interest loan that you used the shit out of in college (I hope )
