Better start scouring eBay for bargins… look for Super OEM tables “google it for all the different brands” or Numark tt200,500, I can’t really recommend any cheap mixers for audio, but the stanton SA-3 is a solid little scratch mixer, or any two channel vestax or pre 2002 numark or stanton scratch mixer. I would forget about the midifighter as it will only work with traktor and your budget doesn’t allow it so the money would be better used on hardware.

It depends if you mean just the soundcard and software… or for the table’s, mixer, soundcard and software… if it’s for the latter you need to grow your budget to at least $1000 for a decent setup without making too many compromises accept on brands and age… and is it primarily for turntablism or mixing?

Mixxx and a used Maya-44 soundcard… your turntables, mixer and timecode of choice. It is by no means a good quality setup but it will get the job done for about $100.

Mixxx is the cheapest being free, then Mixvibes or Torq 2.0, VDJ Pro is pretty expensive as the software is around $300 but you can use any soundcard to cut down on cost or you can get the hercules bundle for around $400. Traktor scratch & Serato are the most expensive as you need to purchase their specific soundcard to use the program. eBay is always cheap though…

^that’s not exactly true… the denon can operate as a standalone analogue mixer so if your computer crashes you could plug in cd players/turntables or even an iphone/ipad to keep the music going while you reboot your laptop.

I wouldn’t buy a pioneer controller as they don’t feel great to use, your better off with a reloop terminal 4, NS6/4track or VCI-400

I wouldn’t use a djx700 again if you paid me. If I were you I’d look into a used xone:22, djm707 or djm400, The numark mixers are pretty poor quality comparatively and vestax only really shine when it comes to turntablism as they use high quality P&G faders but the eq doesn’t sound as good imo. The xone definitely has the best sound out of them but it looks a little weird though.

It said on the reloop site press release for the terminal 4 that the slicer will be available with a future update, I read it just after it was announced.

this is what it currently says

or with future software updates this section can be enhanced even further with brand new performance modes (Cut’n’Slice) for live remixing.

Unfortunately not, the scs.4dj doesn’t actually have a soundcard that you can use with software so you will need to buy a separate one.
