Replacing my setup: Mixer with Traktor/Audio 10 or Traktor Z2
Replacing my setup: Mixer with Traktor/Audio 10 or Traktor Z2 Posted on: 19.10.2012 by Dustin Rajesh I am replacing my entire DJ setup, getting rid of my A&H Xone : DX. So far I am believeing about either a Xone:42 with the Traktor Audio 10 along with two Kontrol X1s and F1s, or a Traktor Kontrol Z2 along with one Kontrol X1 and two Kontrol F1s. I know the latter would be the cheaper setup as I will be using it mainly at home, however, I would hate to carry a mixer around, if I'd have to. I believe the Audio 10 would offer a more flexible and modular setup. On the other hand Z2 is cheaper, smaller and may offer some features over the Xone:42/Audio 10. I am playing Techno of all sorts and so far I have used the Xone : DX as a 3 deck/1 sample deck combo. The F1 looks great and I could eventually end up with 2 deck/2 remix decks. Would like to hear your thoughts and recommendation as I have a hard time to decide what to do. | |

Gemma Saroff 19.10.2012 | I would take the xone42/A10 combo. It's more expensive ok but carrying a mixer at gigs is a painfull task and club owners are going to hate you. Or if you take the Z2, be sure to invest in a flight case. Put all of your gear in it and when you're going on a gig you only have to plug your main out to any channel of the club mixer. But again the case will cost you money so at the end I believe that the first choice is better. |
