fixed and for real

this one supports 4 deck mixing, its a soundcard not a controller though, not sure exactly what your looking for.

i have been doing a lot of research into this myself. from what i understand if you want to mix using your mp3/waves from you pc but still have the vinyl feel...you have to use traktor scratch. that comes with audio 8 and 2 emulated cd's and vinyl.

traktor 3 on its own will only allow you to mix by clicking a mouse on your pc.

if you want 4 decks you can traktor 3 crossgrade edition which will give you the options of 4 decks and create loops ect ect

again this is only from what i understand...i might have missed something!

hope this helps

so i sent in a question on what to do about 4 deck djing with a controller to native instruments and the reponse was basically that they dont endorse any specific brand. they seemed almost annopyed actually.

not the best response. pretty unhelpful really

im just thinking about getting 2 of these at some point
(after testing of course)

or 2 of these http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eoVw...feature=related

if ur going digital, get ableton live + a pad based midi controller( such as the m-audio trigger finger or akai mpd24) and u can go into as many decks as u want. u have the freedom to send whichever channel u want out to specific outputs as u wish depending on what your soundcard can handle. and channel it through a mixer (u obviously have a mixer already and will always have a mixer available wherever u go to play)


theres no point of going digital and limiting urself to the deck based djing when u can go much further than that with the platform.....
