I just mapped my k2 and used the endless encoders to the gain of each deck, it works flawlessly. Mind you it goes up by 0.2 by each twist of the knob.

Exactly, no soundcard.. They really missed a trick there.

American Audio MXR-14

could map the mic knobs for FX parameter
Mains power - No BUS power! Ok for home use but not practical for a mobile, modular set up..

Nope not yet and Christmas is just around the corner. Not sure how much the holiday season factors into releasing DJ products though.

jojo,

Saw this a while back, although it is what I need, would like to see something like this from NI or Pioneer!

Opinions on Behringer build quality?

03.10.2012		I wouldn't trust bus power for any more than home use TBH I though the Behringer uses external power as well for the built in USB hub?

The Behringer's are coming with a 3yr warranty now, so guess they feel confident enough about the quality factor

And Bloody hell that American Audio is cheap ! .. under $350, and its a real mixer - me likey, never seen it before now.

03.10.2012		nem0nic keeps saying that these CMD series controllers are going to be top notch. I haven't seen one yet, but I have a feeling they'll be good.

03.10.2012		Autogain works great for me.
Nedra Fresneda
03.10.2012		It gets it right on most of my library, needing only adding/taking 1db on a few odd ones and having that saved you shouldn't need to touch it again. Keep in mind autogain applies to a track only after you have analysed it, if you loaded it before that you need to do it again for the changes to apply.

They haven't officially released a price on it yet, and NI gear can always be bought at 15-30% off the street price. That might be a good choice for you, too.
Spoke to a guy in my local gear store (decks.co.uk)

Thanks for the reply Padi, but have you ever used JUST the autogains within Traktor? Your sound is almost all over the place..

Understandable that the K2 wasn't designed to be a MIDI mixer, but it would be nice for a manufacturer like NI or Pioneer to make one.. They have MIDI controllers for everything else, other than the actual mix itself..

The pads are nice and responsive, but would be a bit redundant when used with an X1 as this will do all of the selecting/effects.

Would like to see NI/Pioneer come up with a version... NI's new mixer looks cool but will be priced HIGH!
