**Need your creativity** Hello everybody here Dave form Italy. I work in a club wich has “only” a four channel mixer by allen&heat ( which sounds pritty damn cool ) controlling 2 cdj 850 and 2 techniques never used by everyone except for me 😞( and for this reason they will be probabily sold 😞 i’ve decided to buy something to replace them and in order to get my sets more creative. I’m asking 4 your creativity and fantasy to suggest me something i could buy and connect to the mixer ( i don’t to spend more than 1000$ ) ( i’m really interested in kontrol s4 and MIDI FIGHTERS ( pro or not ) thanks to ean’s fantastic videos ) p.s. very cool forum 😉 ---

Can’t go wrong with the s4, it seems. but you won’t be need to make use of the mixer, in that case. ---

Audio 10/TSP and/or a Pioneer EFX1000 or Korg Kaoss Pad. Make sure to keep in mind as well that the Midi Fighters aren’t doing anything on their own - you need Traktor (ideally) or possibly Serato to really get anything out of them. ---

Also Kontrol X1s are a great choice… I haven’t tried the midi fighter yet, but you do get more controls available on the X1 and easy default settings on any computer with Traktor or Serato. ---

I think you should do some more research before you buy anything. Depending on how many decks or if your mixing externally/interally you go do audio 2 all the way up to audio 10. There are new midi fighters comming out now, maybe you should hold off and see what they are all about. ---
