Hybrid Setup
Posted on: 19.07.2013 by Sebrina Pechette
What up djs? Im a new at the DJTT community s but an active reader of the site. I used to dj back in the day with vinyl and turntables but drifted away to guitar playing and regular bands. Lately I have been producing in the computer a lot and getting reacquainted with this whole new era of digital djing, Im feeling very passionate about it Now its time to get the proper hardware and so far Ive had crushes with all kinds of controllers such as the DDJSX, the numark NS7, the VCI400 and the regular djm800 plus cdjs setup, etc. Ive come to realize that I want a setup that allows me to go full digital (traktor and whatnot), be able to use it with ableton but still remain familiar with a standard club setup and "normal" beatmatching djing. Id call it a "hybrid" setup...

For this, I definitely need to get a mixer, but one that has an integrated audio interface, 4channels, midi control and hopefully be a wellrounded dj mixer as well. My research has led me to the following products: Allen and Heath Xone 4D, Pioneer DJM850, Korg zero4 and the Ecler EVO5 mixer. I would eventually add a behringer bcr2000 midi controller and maybe an X1 mk2. Portability is not too much of a concern and money is not either, but the value-quality proportion sure is! What do you believe? Am I missing any obvious option? Do you have any experience with the mixers mentioned above?

Thanks for the feedback!

Just saying in advance, this topic isn't gonna end well

Personally, I'd get yourself a 4 channel mixer and a Zomo MC-1000 to start with.



Learn the new, then add the old later if you feel you need to. Mixer-wise, if you've got money to burn (I'm guessing you're not an 18 year old kid) then you can't really go wrong with the DJM850 or the DNX1600, both of which are scratch certified and will let you add TTs or CDJs to your setup at a later date, IF you need to use them.
