ZOMO MC-1000 or Traktor Audio sound card? So i found out that the ZOMO has a built in sound card.. If i want to use my DJM 800 & Traktor X1 with traktor, would the ZOMO act as not only an additional 2 decks but also as a equilivent sound card to the Traktor Audio 4-10? |

100%.
I won't hold me breath, but I'd love to see an updated version of the MC1000 with inputs.
I love the fact that it is marketed as an add-on to a DJ mixer.
Meh, just doesnt feel to me as a finished product, not for my needs anyway. If it had 8 cues & an outlet in my country sure. 2 X1s and a DJM 800 with an AUDIO 8 and macbook is pretty solid for me as a portable setup. Making my own custom road case for it.
EDIT: DJM 850 is too expensive for its benefits over the 800 as well. |

It's not that confusing once you get the hang of it; takes about half an hour to familiarize yourself with the mapping then it's easy as pie |

10.06.2013 | It also doesnt help that i have to pay shipping costs for it.. X1 just seems a lot easier with everything i want already ready to go and easy to remember as everything is labelled. ZOMO nearly got it right, if it had 8 cue points and a proper cue button would be my choice for sure. |

09.06.2013 | Jeez. I believe I could mail a Zomo+stand to you for less... |
Doreen Schurle
09.06.2013 | I'd choose the Zomo over a pair of X1s + audio interface, partly because it offers you EVERYTHING you need in the one box. 4 Deck control, 4 deck audio output, all in one metal box. |

I cna pick up a Zomo here in the states for ~200 including the mount kit.
Yeah it is, cant buy it in Australia only option is ebay with Buy it now $240 + 60 postage.. could get a used X1 & soundcard for $380 or less so that might be a better option |

I can record out from the mixer back into the macbook if i wanted to using a RCA - headphone jack plug and switiching my mac preferences to headphone jack as input. My situation is this, buy another new X1 & a second hand 4 output sound card (Traktor audio 8 & 10 are the only ones?) or buy a new ZOMO which can be used for both.
Option 1: Approx. $480 Option 2 : $300
I rate the X1 better than the ZOMO put with this option i would be spending an additional $180.. is it worth it? i could just use the ZOMO for decks 3 & 4 and as a sound card, or even sell my X1 to cover most of that cost. |

The only thing that pisses me off about it is 3 cue points... i want 8 |

I wont be using timecode the ideal setup for me was going to be the DJM 800, x2 X1, Macbook & a Traktor Audio sound card. however, i currently only own a DJM 800, X1 and a macbook. Basically the ZOMO would kill 2 birds with 1 stone in sense as it is an alternative to the X1 and the soundcard is decent & i would only need 4 outputs for this setup, correct? |
