    Umm... are you serious? Ok - maybe this will clear it up. I'm a producer, and a DJ, so I must now be able to handle more than one drum machine at once.

    Tell me then, genius, what would be the easiest way to mix from one of your own tracks to another? Oh... right... two drum machines...

    Richie seems to be the only DJ the YOU HAVE EVER HEARD of using a drum machine in a mix set. That doesn't mean that there arnt many, many more you havnt.

    Hang on... I will quote something I have already said to clear this one up...

    Ive actually replaced it already! I have put a Rane Empath in its place, more suits my style of flicking the upfaders in and out, and scratching stuff in, as well as the long mixes.

    Still have the 464 - using it for the live PA rig. Might sell to it fund building a custom controller for Ableton soon...


    Also - some other benefits of using a 464 'just' for DJing...

    Insert points on the main outs - used for vocal ducking in the radio station.

    Separate feeds to a recorder - So you can record the same set, with, and without announcements.

    Laptop with Traktor DJ Studio 3
    Echo Indigo DJ sound card
    Numark DM1050 Mixer
    Sony MDR-V500 headphones

    Do you use it for production or for performance...or both? it might sound better if you got yourself some better speakers. other than that best of luck to ya.

    tis indeed! I'm just starting out and its the most affordable way at the moment. next step will prolly be a cdj of some sort. although midi pad or controller look nice as well, the new xiosynth looks pretty hot. but thats more production than djing.

    Have you checked out the new Urei 2 channel mixers. Really sweet stuff for not a lot of money...faders like glass and full infinity kills on all the eq...makes for some sweet transitions.

    Let me ask you this,,, how do you like that interface you have...it's the forscrite box right...or is it the lexicon, they both look a lot alike from a distance.
    Yea the Rega RB250 is sweet I bought the whole deck off Mark out of Sleepfreaks they run a shop called O'brian Hifi in London, I am about the upgrade it to a Origin Live Silver and get Mark to Mod the arm in regards of the head-pickup (Part you pace on your index finger to cue with) then send the RB250 to be upgraded internally :

    Established in 1966, OBrien Hi-Fi continue to provide the very best in home entertainment systems. Since the 1990s our approach has expanded to include Home Cinema and Smart Technology for the Home such as Lighting, Blinds & Security






    Should sound even better then, gonna finally get back to two SL1200Mk2's again as thew other is a MK1 as you can see.

    As for the Audio interface is a Focusrite Saffire (2 in 10 out), yea I love it and have a second Saffire LE (The black version with 6 in 6 out) coming in a few weeks.Pre amps are fine for encoding vinyl (My main reason for purchase), great sound, I reviewed it for ALDJ here:

    464 has a dedicate monitor path with dual LED read outs. Also the routing is escellent with dual send on each channel. All four mono channels have 100mm VCA throw faders and phantom power. Miss mine O well out with the old in with the new etc
