New gear help

Hi Guys, new member here and I need your help!!!
I’m basically needing to upgrade my gear. For the last couple of years, I have been rocking the Hercules Steel, audio 2 dj soundcard and Traktor Duo.

I’m a digital dj, and I’m thinking of going down 2 routes;

  1. Upgrade Traktor to pro2, buy a Vestax VCO100mkII controller and and NI X1 effects controller

or go down the ableton route (own Live8) with either a VCI600 or akai apc40 controller.

Also, whats the general feeling about djing with ableton,

I mix primarily Trance progressive, but sometimes do a tech house/techno set
thanks guys :slight_smile:

Have you thought of buying an X1 for all transport/FX controls, keep your a2dj and mix externally with an analogue mixer? (xone 22, ecler etc)
Because of your genres I would go that way.
