| Kiyoko Wellisch 07.09.2011 | No- If you're using it with a real mixer you will be routing each output on the audio 2 into a line input on your mixer and then you will use the headphone section on the mixer itself. |
| Katherin Cachuela 06.09.2011 | @ksandvik :: yeah, I'd use the mixer for most controller functions, and X1 to control the virtual decks. I'll pick up the NI Audio 2 instead, already have good cans. (sorry of this is a stupid question) but will I be able to cue tracks on the headphone port on the A2? Thx for the gear links, I'd love to buy from one of you and that S4 is a tempting deal... but my budget is $600 because that's what I have in amazon credit, so that's where I gotta pick everything up. |

| Kiyoko Wellisch 06.09.2011 | It's not the saaaaame man. Everyone needs some speakers. |
| Ralph Alderette 06.09.2011 | you can mix in your headphones instead of getting those monitors.. get good headphones. |
| Kiyoko Wellisch 06.09.2011 | Oh hell yes to the Ecler Nuo 2.0. I absolutely adore mine and I really could not believe of a better mixer for the price. |
| May Artman 06.09.2011 | I'd recommend getting a decent 2 channel mixer over the DDM, maybe an Ecler Nuo 2. And +1 to a different soundcard - you get what you pay for. Also, I happen to be selling AV40s and an Audio 2 if you decide to go that route. |
| Kiyoko Wellisch 06.09.2011 | Because mixers are awesome? |
| Celine Surico 06.09.2011 | Why do you need the mixer? I.e two X1s or are you going to use the mixer as the controller? |
| Kiyoko Wellisch 06.09.2011 | I really would not get that sound card, anything lower than an NI Audio 2 or a Numark DJ iO really sucks... Other than that, sounds like a very good setup to me! (you're using the DDM4000 externally, not midi, right?) |
