Hi guys,
I'm sure this question has been asked before and I have researched about it for hours but I have failed to get this information due to my lack of understanding of my equipment as well.
I'm planning to buy a DJM-700 that I'm going to use with two X1s as controllers. I have the Komplete Audio 6 audio interface which as far as I know has only 6 channels. Does that mean I can only have 3 decks if I were to use Traktor Pro 2?
Also, what kind of cables will I need to connect my setup? I use an iMac and I have a pair of Mackie MR5mk2s that's connected to the main outs of the Audio 6.
I have also reconsidered other mixers such as the Xone 42 and Denon DN-X1600 and I know they're better mixers in some aspects but I prefer the Pioneer. The Xone 42 lacks FX which would be troublesome for me in the future as I plan to buy CDJs later to use with the mixer. I only bought the X1s due to budget restriction. The Denon is also a great mixer however I find it complicated to use and it's also less appealing in design. (Yes, I know. By the end of the day design doesn't matter but it does to me as I have more confidence in using them.)
And I don't need the MIDI mapping ability as I intend to go more old-school anyway. Those new digital technologies are harder to understand than, say, Aristotelian logic for me so I'd rather carry a bunch of CDs than get messed up later because something in my laptop went wrong.
Anyhow, I don't intend to create another debate about the two sides. So what do you think about my setup? Thank you in advance.
