    Hi ,I've read a good few posts in various threads about different mixers ,but I can't find any places to buy one ?

    I was looking for something simple to cue up music on earphones and adjust the pitch slightly ,hercules dj control mp3 seems to be the cheapest option.

    It's not for anything serious ,just for my own mixes etc.

    Just been looking on thomann and spotted a numark stealth control ,seems to be fairly cheap €205 and comes with traktor software.

    If I bought something like this ,would I get everything I needed to start mixing ?

    Cheers.

    Does it have a built-in soundcard? If so then apart from headphones, speakers, a laptop that's all you need.

    Yes be careful some are only midi controllers so they may seem cheap but you'll have to add e99 extra for a good sound card. If they do come with a sound card make sure its a decent one. Sometimes you are better off with an external sound card.

    The stealth control does not have an inbuilt soundcard. The omni control does. They're basically the same controller except for the sound card.

    Go for the Omni Control,

    Absoloutely great piece of kit.

    You'll need to get something with a inbuilt soundcard so you can cue your tracks.

    Thanks for the info ,it's very hard to know what needs a soundcard by the specs:(

    If I can get something with everything built in ,it would suit me better.
    Would this mixer be alright ,it looks ok ...

    Highly recommend the Hercules RMX if your budget stretches its a great and sturdy piece of kit with lots of buttons and knobs and decent soundcard.

    Whats the software like that comes with it ? ,virtual dj.
    The vestax typhoon is €215 with traktor le ,the hercules rmx is €275 with virtual dj.

    If I'm going to spend €275, I'll have to do a bit more research on the software. Try and figure out what buttons I'll need etc.

    Cheers.
