Change of setup

Hello all,

Currently I'm running two Kontrol X1's for 4 deck transport control and a Xone 1D as an internal mixer running through an AudioFire 2 but i'm getting tired of hauling it all around and finding space in the booths to put all this stuff so i'm changing set-up. Until we get the sampler decks in Traktor Pro I want to run 2 decks. So i'm gonna change to an Audio 2 DJ (easier connecting to an external mixer) and just use 1 Kontrol X1.

Then when we get the sampler slots, it looks like the Korg Nanokontrol is the ideal controller to add. The little thing has exactly a volume fader and filter knob to assign to each sample slot and 2 buttons (play&load) so it looks like the perfect addition. Till that time comes I want to have a 2 channel external mixer at home to play with and I am currently looking at the Xone 22 and the Ecler Nuo 2.0. Are there any other good 2 channel mixers I am overlooking?

Oh and if anyone is interested in taking over my AudioFire 2, Xone 1D or 2nd Kontrol X1 let me know.

Cheers

 

Well, the Xone is cheap and probably a good choice but if it was me I go for the Rane ttm 56s, very good sounding mixer(better then my 909) and built like a tank.
But it is way more expensive than the Xone.

Pioneer djm 350 is maybe an alternative.

 

Can't find a reseller or retail price for the Rane here in The Netherlands. I mix Tech-House and Techno by the way so there is no need for a good crossfader or scratch-friendly lay-outs.

 

don't bother with the CDJ350, overpriced for what it does, and you can use Traktor to record with
can't go past a Xone 22 for the price, was using one until I needed more than 2 channels

 

we are getting sample decks in traktor pro? do does that mean if i have the audio 4 dj and traktor pro i can have 2 channels on my mixer set up for samples?

 

Look at the S4 update. No, with audio4dj you have 2 stereo outs which you can use for Deck A & Deck B. The sample are as it is looking now going to take another 2 stereo channels (Deck C & Deck D).

 

True, but just mentioned it because it sounds good, but for the money you can't get wrong with the Xone.

please forgive my brain-dead moment, meant DJM350... I actually do want to buy a pair of CDJ350s at some stage

 

Yeah I understood that The thing is ridiculously expensive though. In the meantime I found a nice deal for a xone 22 so that's the way i'm gonna go for now. Then when the update comes eventually there will probably come a 42 lol.
