Hellow once again it is I, Mr.Skarzay seeking advice on all things DJ.
I’m looking to build myself a modular mobile setup( on a tight $600/R7000 budget) which requires a mobile mixer.The setup will consist of:
2xDenon SC2000+Berhinger CMD LC-1+Laptop+Sennheiser HD25 headphones+(X),whereas (X) is a placeholder for the mixer im looking for which is in similar vein to the NI Z2 though not at that price tag.
it seem to me that you don’t need the mixer like the Z2 or DJM-T1 (mixers with dedicated MIDI buttons), your controllers (denon and behringer) already have transport and FX buttons and knobs.
Is there an mm-1 type device on the market with built in sound card?
Like a reloop contour for example, but a 4 channel controller instead of being jog wheel based? @OP, if you are on such a tight budget, is it necessary to spend so much on headphones?
sound cards are a funny thing. there are a few out there, i won’t say which ones, that I repeatedly noticed drop outs on loading a new track.
this is not an area to skimp on money. controllers are different. heck, a $50 ion discover dj works great, but i would not recommend going “budget” for your interface.
if you are serious, get a rane.
Unless you need a microphone input, the best bang for your buck - modular wise - would be had using a pair of Reloop Contours (one IE and one CE) and the Behringer MM-1.
This is the modular setup I had planned before I got my Terminal Mix 4:
