I'm an ableton guy. I mainly record and "produce" using my very humble launchpad & M-Audio fast track. On Occasion I'll mix and whatnot but it's mostly just to dip into Dj'ing with the tools I already have. Funny huh? I've been apart of this community for almost 2 years and I'm not really much of a DJ (stumbled across this place while looking into learning more about midi controllers)
Anyways here's my predicament. I would like to get into mixing on a DVS setup with mixxx. This is mostly due to it's availability (free) but I honestly like the idea of open source software. I have already started mixing on it using my launchpad and some scripts that the guys over at the mixxx community have made up. I like it . But as I have said before I would like to run a DVS setup. Due to my somewhat limited resources I would like to save as much money as possible while also getting the most practical tools. So far my search has brought me to the following pieces of hardware:
Behringer NOX 303 http://www.behringer.com/EN/Products/NOX303.aspx
Audio Techinca AT LP 120 http://www.audio-technica.com/cms/tu...f30b3a8662772/
And I may even throw in some dicers if I have enough left over. I am fully aware of Behringer's reputation and the questionable build quality of the turntables (I would just like to see for myself). So the only missing piece of the puzzle is the timecode records. I would like to use serato timecode as I have heard nothing but good things about them and they seem to be doing very well amongst the mixxx community. Here's my question: Can I use the serato records with the built in soundcard inside the behringer mixer? I ask this because I have heard that the records will only work with the serato boxes even if they are used with 3rd party software like mixxx. That would ruin my weekend. As you can probably tell I have absolutely no hands on experience with serato or any other DVS software but believe me I am fully aware of most of the in's and out's of how they work (After 2 years here you tend to pick up on these things)
So with all that being said hopefully I can get some help on this. I would like to know before I decide to get the hardware. Anything will be much appreciated! Also lets keep the "brand war" discussion to a minimum. Now If you have actual FIRST HAND EXPERIENCE with either of these products then yes I would love to hear what you have to say but other than that I really don't want to know what you "heard" because I have most likely heard it too.
Thanks a bunch!!
