final setup order
so i finally saved up the money, and i need closure lol
i have chosen: DDM-4000 mixer, Audio Kontrol 1
ive researched: EKS Otus, DN-SC2000
im leaning towards the dnsc2000 buuuuuut, im also looking at getting two turntables and control vinyl. so which would be best? i need 4 deck control, but i have an x1. so the turntables wouldnt bother that aspect.
i cant make up my mind 
Whatâs your budget?
The TT/DVS route will be the most fun, but also more expensive. Whatever you choose, I highly recommend getting two decks minimum.
Out of interest, why do you âneedâ four decks? Two is plenty fun especially with CDJs/TTs. I use four decks with X1s as I use sync (similar to Richie Hawtin) and play Techno but would just have two decks if using TTs.
budget is aroundâŚ1600?
and i could go with two midifighter and two EKS XP5âs with the DDM4000 mixerâŚ
4 decks: A and B for my current mixing, C and D are for certain loops or breaks, soundbytes things like that.
4 deck Mixiing isnât a priority and if thereâs something worth giving it up if do it, but 2 Dnsc2000âs let me control four decks so idk. Thatâs what Iâm leaning to.
a pair of SC2000 and a pair of X1 and youâll do everything you want, and have room to remap lots of thing. Timecode (CDs or Vinyl) is still fun, but you can add it later.
You could eBay a couple of Technics 1200âs /1210âs for that kind of money if your serious about the DVS route. 
I use these with TSP and then have a Launchpad mapped for the other two decks / sample banks. Although you could pretty much do the same with an X1. But you may want to remember that if you plan on playing out or moving your rig, Technics are heavy and (in my experience) getting less common in clubs. So in that respect, a pair of controllers win in the portability and ease of setup stakes!
And a good choice on the mixer. Got mine when they were brand new, nobody liked Behringer and at the time I had no concept of controllerism. Turned out to be a good little investment!
awesome, yeah ive heard only the best about the ddm4000
Ive got a DDM4000, very good mixer to start out on
BUT
Ive had it only 5 months and ive already worn out the feel feedback on one of the effect knobs. Also my 1st channel left side line input is a bit dodgyâŚ
if youâre using c & d for loops/one shots etc.. why need 4 decks? set them as sample players and control with x1 or midifighter
i could do that.. i still want a mixer though, im tired of my mixdeck and stuff. sooooo⌠any alternatives to the dnsc2000? regardless of dueldeck availibility
what about 2 of these stanton scs.3dâs? they look cool..
Correct me if Iâm wrong but doesnât the Audio Kontrol 1 only have 4 mono outputs?
If Iâm right you couldnât use it with that mixer to run 4 decks as you donât have enough outputs.

would that work? it has four outputs, connect to abcd on mixer and im in business
Is that 4 mono or stereo? I always get confused as to how you tell when youâre not dealing with rca.
edit: you know you might be right here. Why do so many controller based DJs use the audio 8 when they want 4 stereo outputs when they can use this?
no clue XD im lost when it comes to the sound stuff. im only good at software. i think its stereo, another user on this forum has the exact setup: ddm4000 audio kontrol1, 2x dnsc2000âs and said it works
Ive heard a LOT of bad reviews about the otus controller, but good about the dnsc2000, i was considering getting one, but just got an x1 instead
What didnât people like about the otus? I know people missed having a pitch fader but they fixed that with the otus raw.
well i was talking about the xp5, not the otus⌠that things too expensive.
yeah i have one x1, but i need a jogwheel out of prefernce
The xp5 looks terrible next to the denon. Get that any day.
You said the otus in your first post didnt you?
yeah, too expensive though
And how would the dnsc2000 hold up in club environments?
