controller or mixer?

controller or mixer?

Hello everyone,

Here is my question, I have a AUDIO 6 DJ and an DDM 4000 with two Kontrol One, but I’m starting to feel a limit to the possibilities of Traktor because I can mix only 3 deck compared to the 4 I have on my mixing table . I will soon replace my table, and I was wondering if using a controller 4 Chanel was not better than taking a traditional table.
I really like the DN-MC 6000, which with my Kontrol One give me a control over my 4 chanel.
But first I want your opinion

Thank you in advance

Hybrid maybe?

Pioneer DJM-T1?

It depends…

If you mix CD’s as well as digital audio, you will probably need a mixer to use when you don;t have the laptop etc.

If you only using digital, no reason to use external mixer…unless you like mixing externally.

I only work in TRAKTOR I have two controllers but no CD .

What you recommend for a budget of 400 to 700 pounds ?

thank you for your quick response

Sell everything except one of the X1s, buy an S4 or MC6000 and you’ll be sorted. If you only use traktor, the S4’s one to one layout will be very helpful.

no , i have not x1 , i have DJtech Kontrole One ^^ , I saw on westerdj a xone dx to £ 499
it’s good no ?

sell your audio 6 and buy an audio 10, stick with the mixer and the midicontroler!
no midicontroler will give you what a club mixer does :slight_smile:

or i can use my DDM in MIDI ?

depends if you´re comfortable spinning without jogwheels. i for myself love to mix with a midicontroler and an external mixer. like a said some weeks ago. using the mixer in a club is always good, cause then you´ll always be present for the crowd. a lot of dj´s just using midicontroler are mostly at one end of the stage not using the mixer. but when mixing external you´ll always have the guaranty that you are in the middle of the booth and the crowd will recognize that. dunno if you get my point…

hahaha both… lets just say this equation doesn’t just apply to guitars haha

the number of guitars I need is represented by the variable N. The value of N is
defined by the relationship:

N = X + 1

where X = the number of guitars I own at any given time.

yes i don’t need jog wheels the MIDI interface is good solution

I loled…

A lot.

Bahahaha…

:smiley:

Go for both!
:slight_smile:

I’d prefer a mixer over controller, BUT thats just because a controller feels like too much of a downgrade.. (well at least the S4 did)

If you already have Traktor and are looking for a controller I’d say get a MC6000.
I have a sc2000 and x1600 and both are QUALITY and have great functionally..
I would have to imagine the MC6000 is quality as well.

I already have two controllers in the same genre as dn sc-2000, ONE DJTECH KONTROL I’m happy with, but the DN-MC 6000 is in my project.

+1

External mixers, if of proper quality, offer so much more than a midi controller IMO.

yes but my sound card has only 3 channel and i would like to mix 4 deck…
or i can take one 2 channel mixer ? what do you propose ?

like i stated earlier: sell the audio6 and check ebay/djtt buy sell/craiglist/ etc for a used audio8 or buy an audio 10 and you are good to go

actualy i mix only 2 decks ..

wait! you have a soundcart dedicated for 3 decks, but you´d love to be able to mix with 4 decks, but you only use 2 decks?

are you sure you know what you want?
