Scratch set up question
Firstly Hi. I am from Manchester UK and mainly play 80/90’s hip hop and breaks. I sold my decks 5 years ago and have now started getting back into thimgs by playing about in ableton and have bought an apc20 for messing about with loops and stuff.
The problem is I am really missing scratching and want to get some sort of DVS set up on the cheap as I stress, I really only anticipate using this for scratching over beats with one deck. I have managed to get a second hand american audio qd5 and am sorting out a deck (probably str8-150) but what about the digital side.
At the moment I am thinking of virtual DJ pro and some serato vinyl (I think I have a sound card caplable for one deck, toneport ux1) otherwise will likely get a maya44.
How will this suit me? Should I be looking for something different? obviously there are more expensive options in serato and tracktor but would these be overkill for my intended use. I did consider getting a second hand cdx but these are not plentiful and also I have plenty on vinyl I would also like to scratch with and rip,
Also as an aside. Could I run ableton and virtualdj (or other) on the same pc at the same time. Presumably I would need a different soundcard for each? PC should be quick enough (4.6ghz i5 8gb ram)
Thanks for any help.
