Do I really need a mixer? Or should I be getting this... Posted on: 27.08.2013 by Jamila Guessford I've got a RME Babyface which has plenty of inputs and outputs, also for cueing.I was wondering if I should get something like a Z2? Or I'd be better buying just controllers? Because the converters of the babyface compared to these range of mixers are far superior. In that case, would the Ableton Push kill the (X1 + F1 + Z1) traktor controller combination? Some people say the F1 can do plenty of what the Z1 does. I guess it's all mapping, please correct me if i'm wrong! What would you get first? Which controller? Thank you. | |

| Brunilda Kora 29.08.2013 | It is all mapping, mate. But they're called MIXERS for a reason. |
| Olin Easley 29.08.2013 | I'm pretty sure the S4 has an A8-equivalent sound card and I see you have an A2, so I really doubt what you're saying. Push is made for Ableton, so it's not the ideal Traktor controller. What's your budget? |
| Stefanie Aldaco 28.08.2013 | I don't believe that the push is an ideal controller for djing. I like to mix with an external mixer, mostly because of the EQs. But in my opinion the whole feeling is different. It depends on what you want to use, its your decision. A friend of mine left his S4 at my home, so i tried it out. The first thing i noticed was that the sound quality wasn't that good of the built in soundcard. |
