| Lynell Piechocinski 28.01.2012 | 1) S2 Controllerist Essentials Bundle 2) S4 + Midi Fighter Classic I prefer these It's in your price range, they do the thing, and if you get 1st you have some $ left to search for some controller for ableton. Even if you save litlle bit more you get Akai APC40 or Akai APC20 and Novation Launchpad |
| Lue Garich 28.01.2012 | ok thanks man |
| Lashay Walchak 28.01.2012 | And I personally would go with Maschine over an Ableton. You get a legit copy of the software and a controller that can be used either with Maschine or Traktor for $500. You could find used as well. |
| Lashay Walchak 28.01.2012 | yeah, you should take a look at the new Behringer kit coming out. There's an Ableton oriented controller at dirt cheap pricing, and of course the new NI FX1 that's coming out in April w/ the new Traktor 2.5 complete with Ableton style "remix" decks. You'd obviously have to wait a few months to head in either of those directions though. |
| Lue Garich 27.01.2012 | alrite thanks, is there any other gear out there that is reasonble that i didnt mention in the list that would fit what im looking to do with it? |
| Lashay Walchak 27.01.2012 | roll a S2 for traktor and APC40 for ableton. vestax spin is junk compared to rest of gear you've mentioned |
