Going all digital (help/advice for a newb)

I'm looking for a control system that I can use with a computer/laptop.

http://www.idjnow.com/StoreModules/...goryID=--DeID=0


Is this any good or is it a POS? I'm just a bedroom dj who'd like to start mixing and recording them again. If it's a POS, can anyone suggest anything? (under 500)


I have 2 technics mk5s, 2 pioneer CDJ 100s, and a pioneer CDJ 1000 MKII, but I never touch my stuff anymore. Could I get something that would let me use the CDJs as a controller?


Sorry, I'm sure this question has been asked 1234123 times. I don't even know what to search for.

Vestax VCI 100 is quite good


Sell your 1000 if you're not using it. You wont get any good midi functions (if any>?) off it.

I have the Total Control, it's good for what you're going to use it for. I'm happy with it anyways.

The Xponent is pretty solid as far as controllers go.

With gear like yours I personally wouldn't even bother switching to digital. But i guess you have your reasons so it's fine.

I agree with the poster above. Get the Korg Zero 8. They're selling for around $800-$900 NEW on Ebay, from legit audio equipment vendors. If you want to go completely digital this is your best bet. You can pay a little less and get something else but this is a REAL piece of equipment with an 8 channel sound card, plenty of midi control, etc. This with Ableton live = more than you'll need for a while. If you have more money I would suggest a Xone 92 with 2 1d's and a motu ultralite, or a 1d and a 2d. This setup will run you close to $2g's though...

Btw, i've owned the Zero 8, Xone 3d and 4d, djm800 (with separate controllers). My favorite was the 3d/4d due to build quality and layout, and sound, but once again this is the most expensive setup.... The Zero 8 comes in 2nd place for me. The only thing I didn't like was the sharp digital sound and lack of buttons. I don't like the button banks.... Other than that it was a cool mixer, and now that they're super cheap it's a no brainer.

the zero8 could have a better integrated soundcard imo, but i still think it is very win.
