Decent budget mixer to use with Traktor A6 ?
Long story short. I used to spin years (like 15) ago and recently got the bug back after having a little impromptu session round a friends house. I went straight out and bought a Reloop Terminal Mix 8 which comes with full Serato and got stuck in. I liked the jogwheels as I always regretted not learning how to scratch properly, however after 2 months the thing gave up (some sort of static issue) and I realised that my heart was still with vinyl....Plus the fader was crap.
So ..... I snagged a pair of Stanton STR8 150's for £180 as one had a broken tonearm, a quick youtube crash course in soldering and 40 mins later I had fitted the new tonearm.
Yesterday I bought a Traktor A6 soundcard and the control vinyl on ebay, again for a pretty decent price. So now I gotta find a decent budget mixer as my funds are all nearly all but gone.
I have my eye on a DJ Tech DIF 1S going on ebay UK that looks in immaculate condition. However, I thing I am going to miss the midi controls that were available on the all in one controller ..... Therefore was looking at the DIF 1M ???
Just wondering if anyone as any other recommendations for a decent budget mixer that would be midi mapable to work with Traktor. Nothing fancy, just hot cues and loop roll for example.
Or if not .... If I get the DIF 1S would I be able to add something like the Kontrol X1 MK2 to the set up to trigger cue points etc.... ??
Much appreciated.
(oh and apart from Shure M447's .... is there anything else that could get me going for a bit without breaking the bank .... I know like most things in life, you get what you pay for !)
