| Been trying to find a decent priced DN-X1600 but recently found a DN-x1700 for an excellent price. It's more than I wanted to spend but the deal is quite excellent.

| So, I've been looking into switching to analog gear controlling Traktor (mixing externally) down the road. I'd use two CDJs and MIDI map the tempo faders, play and cue buttons to Traktor.
