    If you mix internally, you don't need a mixer.
    If you mix externally, you do need a mixer.

    If you're mixing internally, an audio 2 will suffice. If you're mixing externally, it depends on how many channels your mixer has and you want to use.

    AKA, we need more information.

    Ok Im using the x1 to control traktor pro2 on my laptop

    I want to use an Ipad with the Traktor dj app separately as two extra decks. It Will Not be connected to my laptop.

    I prefer to mix internally with the x1s

    and use the Ipad on the side.

    So im thinking thats two channels externally correct?

    and i would need a two channel mixer?

    You said you want to mix internally. You don't need a two channel mixer then, that's for external mixing.

    I don't know how the Traktor DJ app works, so I'm not sure on that aspect.

    question number one:

    what do you use at the moment?
    Weapons, not food, not homes, not shoes
    Not need, just feed the war cannibal animal

    Even if i mix internally and i go to a place and there isnt any external mixer would i need to provide an external mixer to connect to the pa system correct?

    Or will the Audio Interface be able to connect directly to it?

    I think you should always get a 4 channel mixer so you always have the possibility to expand/back up by popping in an ipod or something, but a 2 channel mixer should work.

    The audio interface outputs to the PA system.

    Will right now im missing with a launchpad

    I bought an x1 a feel days ago but haven't installed it or anything cause im going to return it cause one of the buttons isnt pressing right.

    I want to use two x1 for 2 decks each on Traktor pro, and use an ipad with the traktor dj app as two extras on the side.
