Reply to Need Help / Advice with getting the right SETUP

Greetings of the day!

Well i am new here and new to the DJ world too.

I have around 1200$ and i want to invest it in buying the right setup.
I currently have a Macbook pro 13 i7.

I am not sure what to buy and what will work out to my needs.

I currently have 3 setups in mind , but i technically dont know if they are feasible and will work like i want it to. I am sorry that i have a lot of question and I might sound like a MEGA noob but finally it comes to this and i desperately need your advice and help.


1 Traktor x1 + traktor f1 + audio 6 ( this looks fine to me, but will i be able to control the headphones volume levels with this setup ? if yes then how ? )

2 Traktor x1 X 2 + traktor f1 ( this one without soundcard .. will this work fine . can i do any kind of production with this. how exactly will this work ? how do i have to route the output ? :O )

3 Traktor x1 + launchpad + audio 6 ( will i be able to control the remix deck with launchpad ? without having to run both ableton and traktor together ? )


Any other cheap hardware i can go with to get 3 channels or more ? 2 for tracks and 1 for remix deck / sample ?

can audio 6 be used for production ? to record ? like mbox ? if not , can audio 6 be replaced with mbox in my setup ? ( is mbox a multichannel sound card ?)


what i need is 2 or more channels with a remix deck for live performance and to be able to produce some music with ableton .
