Reply to Mixing on a budget- Is one X1 or LPD8 enough?

Hi guys

New to the community .

Long story short I've had to sell my VCI - 100 and soundcard (no option unfortunately ). So all Im currently left with just my laptop with Traktor. I don't perform anywhere so I don't need a major set up, but I can't function purely with just the laptop.

So with a bit of creative mapping, would I be able to use a single Kontrol X1 or LPD8 and get by? I don't scratch at all.

The other option I had thought of was to get a cheap midi keyboard (one with a few knobs) and try to map that?

Any suggestions are greatly appreciated guys as this is a really shitty situation to be in!
