Hi all, i’m currently using ipad 3 with traktor software, what would be a good 2 channel external mixer with effects to use under £150 thanks Rastey

you could possibly get a used korg km202 for that

Yeah great mixer, but to expensive for me.

You can get a brand new Behringer NOX404 for a LITTLE bit more (£169), although you might be able to get a B-stock one for under your budget :slight_smile:

Just checked, and yep; £146.99 with free shipping :slight_smile:

I used a Denon DN- X120 for a while. It is a real solid two channel mixer under $200.

6

£189 and no effects. Read the OP?

7

yeah man nox404, will look into one. thx i will also have a look at at dn x120 nice.

So, nox404 looks ace, would it be easy to setup using an ipad ?

Do you have a sound card compatible with Traktor DJ?

Here’s how to connect a mixer if you have a sound card:

It depends on whether or not you can create aggregate audio devices in iOS the way you can on Mac OS X… they both use CoreAudio so theoretically it’s possible, just depends on whether “there’s an app for that” or not lol.

But theoretically you could use the NOX404 as one channel, as the NOX404 actually has USB audio support, but you’d need the Camera Kit adapter to hook up the USB input from the NOX404 to your iPad. You’d then use the headphone out as your second channel.

But still, wait for clarification from the iPad guys here as to whether or not you can aggregate devices or not.

The Griffin splitter should work too but you’ll only get a Mono output for each channel. Connect each split from the Griffin to the Line Input 1+2 on the NOX, and do the trick I linked before to allow you to use the external mixer rather than the on-screen faders.

Edit: You’ll probably need two of these adapters to duplicate the mono signal coming from the Griffin so you get sound through both speakers as the NOX doesn’t have a mono switch.

Thanks bud, bit of a pain in the behind to be honest may try and look at just getting an idj pro instead.

The iDJ Pro is a nice unit, but Algoriddim is a bit wank tbh. Best thing to do would be to chase up with NI to see if they’re going to be adding support for the iDJ Pro to Traktor DJ :slight_smile:

yeah was thinking that mon.
