i have a few options for a new set up that i would like to get for traktor
option1: denon dn-x1600+2 kontrol x1
option2: denon dn-x600+1 kontrol x1
option3: vestax vci-100 mkii+korg nanopad2
i have a few questions regarding each set up.
with option 1, i pretty much get a straight-forward 4 deck control with cue/loop/fx control hands on with the x1, but its around $1500. i dont want to overkill just for djing for myself (maybe small gatherings, but nothing public as of yet). i was considering for a while a xone 42+audio 10 dj, but thats out of the price range, although i really love that mixer.
with option 2, i am worried i will get bored quickly with only 2 decks, but can add on to in the future, as well as the 1st option (cdj). i have seen a few other people who have been in the same situation where they go for the more affordable, cheaper (quality/production) option which consists of a 2 deck mixer/controller, but then quickly get bored because of the limitations of two decks.
with option 3, i feel like i am limited on what i can do. i am a bedroom dj, so i am not looking for club standard $2000 mixers and $1500 cdj/turntables, but i feel that if i wanted to inch closer to those with mixers and cdjs/midi controllers i would be restricted. i dont want to have a collection of controllers and mixers, etc. by just keep upgrading and buying more "interfaces"
if anybody can come up with alternatives within a 700-1200 price range, that would be great. limit the controllers, as the vci-100 mkii. i do also like the s4, but again same situation as with option 3 regarding limitations and restrictions for the future.
edit:if for some reason this is the wrong place, sorry. was just quick browsing the section and put it here
