Are there any hardware controllers which are greared towards DJs and not so much producing? I would love to get something but the only things I can find are frikken way out of budget (i.e. The new A&H). I would idealy like something that has built in soundcard and is a mixer of sorts?
Any ideas? |

| the A&H xone 3d is the only mixer with built in sound card and midi capability currently. there's a new denon mixer (dont quote me, it may not be denon) that will be released soon that has a built in firewire soundcard and midi capability. if you dont mind using an external interface then id HIGHLY recommend the DJM800. its got a built in midi clock and 99% of the controls are midi mappable. other than that you could go for the ecler nuo 4 or 5, and if you can afford it definately go for the Xone 3D. cheers and good luck |

don't know if this is off topic...but check out the nintendo wii's ability to be used as a ableton controller...pretty wicked imo

I'm thinking about leaving my CDJs at home and just taking my Nuo4 to use with Ableton (since it has MIDI capability). Not sure how well that'll work out yet, but I may give it a try.
Only reason I wouldn't be taking CDJs is because I don't have cases yet, and so I'm using the original boxes to transport, which are pretty large.
The Wii controlling Ableton is pretty neat; Bluetooth -> MIDI translation? |
