I like this idea, been using gater in traitor like this, but it's a touch rigid. Feel a remap coming on the divers...

all the midi crossfaders are generally not able to adjust curve.

the VCI can though.
Scratching on a Vci can be tough though in comparison to real TT's. An Otus is a really good option too. Can always map a button on that to transform like mike did.

Edit: nice catch, I habit played with a nocturn or x-session, just knew of it

19.12.2010		They're kinda cool, but you do need a fader (in a mixer) to be able to scratch well. So, if you go that route, you also have to get a mixer, which is getting close to the 2-decks + mixer setup you wanted to avoid

18.12.2010		You want to look at the Numark NS7 and the Vestax VCI-300.

I believe the NS7 would be a bit over your budget.

To record the scratching in Live, you just run Itch and Live on the same computer and use a virtual sound card (like soundflower on OS X) to send it's audio to Live

30.01.2013		I assume you are not going to scratch like crazy but just adding some scratch sound to your mix right? If that's the case many controllers can do the trick. Tho like what others mentioned above, the VCI-300 with itch is probably your best option.

However, if you wish to use traktor then I'd say get the kontrol s2.

20.12.2010		@tyfurious: yeah I thought about the otus before, but I've read that the platter isn't great...the vci-300 seems like a pretty nice option though!

19.12.2010		Surely he could map a button for cross fader jumping?

Edit: Already said, nvm
