External mixing in deckadance 2

so i am looking at the behringer nox 404 and i saw that it has a built-in sound card but I’m not sure if i can run it as an external mixer

You can’t. It has a build in sound interface but only 2ch.
That means you can use it to record your mix or play 1 stereo (2ch) deck from dj software. If you want a mixer that can mix 2 decks from dj software via it’s built in audio interface your choices are: American Audio 10 MXR, DJ-Tech X10, NI Z2, Denon X600, Xone 23c, Rane 57SL (+ all of other Rane mixers).

Each of these mixers will work with Virtual DJ & Deckadance 2 (even with timecode).
Each of these mixers will work with Traktor Pro (but only Z2 will work with timecode and Traktor Scratch Pro - you get the licence with it).
Only Rane 57SL will work with SSL (including timecode control - mixer unlocks the software on the laptop when connected).

would the dj tech ddm 2000 work as an external mixer for deckadance as well?

Same as behringer nox 404 - only one deck/stereo channel. If you don’t have the money for a proper mixer, buy a controller (I hear Behringer CMD 4A works good with deckadance)
