MemberHello Kruse š
I am So Sorry to hear of your Devestating Loss of All Your Equipment from your Car š :(;
I have had a look around the Internet for an ‘All In One DJ Solution’ for you; and it looks Really Cool š
It is The Mixdeck Universal DJ System ……..
(Quoted from Numark Site) http://www.numark.com/mixdeckPerform with CD, MP3, USB, software, and iPod.
MIXDECK is a complete system for every DJ who blends different kinds of music sources. Whether your music is on CDs, MP3 CDs, USB flash drives, iPod, your computer, or even other analog players, you can mix and perform with it all using MIXDECK. This performance station has the traditional two-decks-and-a-mixer layout youāre used to, but thatās where time-honored DJ tradition meets Numark innovation.
FORMAT FREEDOM
MIXDECK has two large, touch-sensitive illuminated platters and controls for cueing and scratching your music. Each smooth, fast, reliable, slot-loading drive works with both CDs and MP3 CDs. You can also connect a USB flash drive on each deck for access to thousands of MP3s without taking a computer or CDs to the gig.But these advanced decks arenāt just MP3/CD players ā they also work as software controllers. Just connect MIXDECK to your Mac or PC with a single USB cable and youāre seamlessly controlling the music on your computer. MIXDECKās MIDI communication enables you to easily map virtually any DJ software for direct connection from your fingers to software.
MIXDECKās USB connection also can receive two stereo audio channels from your computer, empowering you to mix software audio with CD tracks.
MIXDECK also has an integrated Universal Dock for iPod so you can play tracks from your iPod and even record your set into the popular portable music device. MIXDECK has a dedicated iPod fader, physical transport and menu controls, and click knob so you wonāt have to touch the iPod once itās docked.
MIGHTY MIXER
MIXDECK has a full-featured mixer built in. Each input channel has its own gain and three-band EQ/rotary kills (+12dB/ -INF). The mixer channels control the audio from MIXDECKās onboard players, incoming audio from your computer, or external sources such as turntables, MP3s players and more. MIXDECK has two sets of stereo, switchable phono/line inputs for external sources. MIXDECKās replacable crossfader has switchable slope and reverse so you can customize its performance based on your preferences.You can work the room thanks to MIXDECKās 1/4-inch mic input with its own gain and ±15dB high and low EQ. Thereās also a complete cueing section with dual 1/8 and 1/4-inch headphone outputs, dedicated cue gain, and mini-crossfader control. You can keep an eye on your master output levels with MIXDECKās dual-color stereo LED meters.
MIXDECK has a flexible output section too, with balanced XLR and unbalanced RCA stereo Main outputs, as well as Booth and Record outs for sending your mix to different locations and systems including recording to your iPod. Thereās also a direct stereo output from each deck for use with timecode control interfaces including Serato Scratch LIVE software or external effects processors.
DELIGHTFUL DECKS
MIXDECKās advanced platters are touch-sensitive for superb accuracy and smooth control of tracks on discs, flash drives, and software. The plattersā outer rings illuminate for visual indication of deck performance and mode.You can adjust MIXDECKās players to perform just like vinyl on turntables thanks to their independent start and stop-time controls on each deck.
FX FLAVOR
On top of playing all kinds of music media, each one of MIXDECKās decks enables you to add flavor to your performances with integrated, beat-synced DSP effects that include chop, echo, filter, flanger, pan, and phaser. Each is completely adjustable and a dedicated wet-dry fader controls them all.
PITCH POWER
MIXDECK contains a set of beat and pitch tools that will help you with beat matching and harmonic mixing. Start playing a track and MIXDECK automatically analyzes its BPM (tempo), and displays it on screen. Thereās also a Tap tempo button for manual BPM entry. You can alter the trackās BPM by ±6, 12, 25, and 100% using the pitch fader. For each of those ranges, you can also engage Key Lock, which holds the pitch (key) of the track while you independently manipulate its BPM. Thereās also a set of pitch-bend buttons on each track for quick tweaks.
REAL TIME REMIXING
MIXDECK gives you a complete range of remixing tools for on-the-fly creativity, including seamless looping on a set of easy-to-understand controls, sampling, and easily accessible hot cues. Numarkās familiar Bleep/Reverse gives you the ability to keep time moving forward while you cut or reverse the track.You can play tracks from discs in single-track, continuous, and programmable playback modes for flexible performance. Fader Start enables MIXDECK to start playing the track you have cued up when you move the crossfader for effortless transitions. You can also use Fader Start with compatible CD players connected to MIXDECKās inputs.
VIVID VIEW
MIXDECK features two large, backlit displays for keeping tabs on each deck even in poorly lit conditions. You can monitor BPM, CD and MP3 text tags, navigate folders, and keep an eye on effect status on these big, bright screens.MIXDECK gives you the ability to perform, mix, remix, and record with virtually any popular music media. Whether you play parties, clubs, events, or in a group, MIXDECK gives you the freedom to DJ all in one unit, with the flexibility to add on and expand as much as you like.

MemberGood reccomendation! I was just reading about that one.
Some of the other ones I was considering were the Hercules 4-MX, American Audio VMS4, and the VCI-300.
Now, I know some of those are 4 deck controllers, and that will be a big change coming from the Mixtrack Pro. However, I feel that these devices would give me a lot of room to grow. Anyone have any opinions on those?July 25, 2011 at 12:29 am #1001195Carlos

The Hercules 4-mix is almost and upgrade from the RMX controller, except for some touch functionality and scratch functionality with touch. It would be hard to recommend with SOOO many options out there. the American Audio VMS-4 could be a GOOD start to rebuild your setup also the Numark NS6. I would personally recommend the VMS-4 or the Denon MC-6000 (also check out NI’s s4 and of course my favorite, the Allen and heath Xone:dx). It depends on what your budget is and your aspirations…

ParticipantTraktor S4.
Aside from it being a MIDI controller, you can hookup turntables or CDJs since it has 4 channels.
A bit on the heavy side though, but I’ve played alongside other DJs who have rocked the club using that
controller. -
