No idea on both questions.......

Mixer & Controller is 2 both different things .
But they have something that u can use with Traktor ..

Its a controller + Mixer



The Mickey Mouse Console LINK

There are 3 versions -
1. DJ Console MK2
2. DJ Control MP3
3. Hercules DJ Console Mac Edition

------------------------------------------------------

what are those two round big 'buttons'(like ones on boss gt8, yamaha dd55) on that controller + mixer do? simulate vinyls?

That's a search toggle.... kind of like the click wheel on an iPod....

ivan how much does your mk5`s cost? and what do you think about stanton`s T80 ?

Mixer = Mixer
- Basic Function With 3-EQ + Gain ( Hi / Mid / Low )
- Channel Upfaders
- Crossfader

Controller = Controller
- Play / Pause / Cue
- Pitch Adjust
- Pitch Bend (-|+)
- Jog wheel

This Product is like a Basic CDJ & Basic mixer for beginner or professional use . Built in Both .
You can also use the Dedicated Controller With another Mixer if u want

Vinyl Simulation only can be done with Proper hardware / Turntables / Tabletop CDJ's .
Using These controllers are only for simulating CDJ's , Good for mixing / Club use .
For scratching , you still need a Turntable







The Stanton TT's looks sweet . But if u planning to go mainstream , Better stick to industry standard or something similar . Newer TT's may have more functions & can help u at home . But when you are out performing , You may need to use thiers .
You will be like
But u can always have an option to bring your own gear , but competition is standard . Either Technics or vestax ..

The Mk5 costs about RM 2800 Retailing here .
But i got mine from a friend's - friend ( some rich brat ) at about Rm 3500 a Pair + behringer Dx626 Mixer + Voltage Transformer (Heavy duty)
I got my own carts for about Rm 500 ++ , because the one comes along with it putus . I wonder how the person scratch
The TT's & Mixer are from Japan , Runs on 115V . Both Items are Mint in condition as the person bought it just because he watch too much MTV
And he mentioned " Linkin park "

Yeah....... DJ Hahn just ruined alot of kid's trust funds.....

But I'm actually thinking of getting a Drum Controller.... something like the Akai MPD 16 or M-Audio's Trigger Finger.....

Have you tried any of those out before ivandj?

bloody sweet! i suppose these things can only be ordered online... i had no idea Hercules makes things other than graphic and soundcards!

Nah , im noob in instruments .
I dont even know how to scratch .
Im basicly into club & technical mixing .

The hardest part is not mixing , but its your music tracklisting & cuepoints .
To make things more interesting , My mixes are tight as i only takes 1/2 of each music .
Most of my time spent Analyse my music & setting right cuepoints
And btw , Im playing electroclash . More complicated than any other dance music

3500 a pair???daaaaammm.....cheap man..good deal..how long have you been dj-ing?

Cool.... that's why it's good to have a club DJ over here....
More questions can be answered about stuff I really don't know.....
And for me..... it's the art of turntablism that intrigues me..... taking a piece of music, and completely re-shaping it to be called your own.....

But when it comes to DJing..... I'm more like a Band member rather then the whole band.... you know what I mean? Like, I would probably spin to a band (and using all the cool controllers) rather then gigging at a club alone.....

But that's just the inner guitarist talking! hahahahah!!

Again, glad to have you on board ivan!

Hmm , Got hooked into dance music since 1999
Between :-

1999 - 2001 - Mainly commercial house / club music / Cheezy stuff
2001 - 2004 - Hanged awhile into Progressive / melodic trance
2005 Till now - Got Influenced into electro / electroclash / electro house

Got my gear between 2003 , It was MK2 that time .
Then came along the D-vinyl2020 in 2004 to get Mp3's playing .
But since then not much time to play with my gear cos busy working .
End of 2005 only change to MK5 , and recently got hooked into VirtualDJ software .

Never performed live nor played in any clubs , Im still noobie
Just need some time to prepare my set's & i guess i can get going

hey i found a driver for the emu10k equipped soundcards..basically the soundblaster live cards..it lets you use it in asio mode..my latency before this was 40ms..now with this drivers its at an all time low at 8ms!!!good for recording purposes too as i can use cubase with this and record at low latency.. find out more at

http://kxproject.lugosoft.com/

its a lil daunting at first..all the settings and the dsp`s and the routings..

Wow good stuff , can use cheap Soundcards

There are also some other softwares that u can use a Non asio cound card to get Low latency
ASIO2KS
ASIO4ALL

But somehow i prefer ASIO2KS , Although its discontinued , But it works well with the softwares i use

anyways i dont like asio4all as its choices are limited..you cant make your own dsp`s..im currently using kx drivers and so far no problems with it..having fun as i make my oun guitar effects using its dsp`s..the best thing is the guitar sound doesnt even go out of the soundcard..its just processed right inside the emu chip itself...fruity loops is good..almost no lags at all when using my midi controller..

how much is that hercules console cost? didn't seem durable tho

Not sure about that , Try google

Yet the ultimate machine is here XONE 3D
Compatible with ableton / Traktor OR any software's that have midi features .



Superb mixer + USB soundcard + Midi controller
Price - 2699 $USD

one thing about dj i really fancy their hardwares lol...



seems like local dj blink being spinning this lately at loft... sounds cool tho. no idea how hard is it cause i ain't a dj haha..
