Ok guys I've been wanting to learn how to beatmatch properly and have managed to track down a pair of CDJ 1000 MK3's and a DJM 600 for €550 which is obviously an absolute steal.
I realise these don't have USB or HID support which is fine as I can burn CDs or use SD cards.
However I would like the option of hooking them up to Traktor and using my Traktor Kontrol X1 to control the software.
Also seeing as the DJM 600 is a 4 channel mixer, it does leave the vinyl path open which appeals to me also.
I realise that I need Traktor Scratch Pro, timecode CDs and an NI audio interface. Which audio interface would best suit my needs? are the older A4 and A8 cheaper and worth picking up ahead of the A6 and A10? Also can i upgrade from Traktor Pro 2 or do i need to buy Traktor Scratch Pro outright?
Thus how much does this all cost and would I be better off going for something with HID functionality?
My current setup:
Numark Mixtrack Pro II
Traktor Kontrol X1
Sennheiser HD25 II's
Macbook Pro 13'
Traktor Pro 2
Thanks

Alternatively you can use cdj's in hid-midi mode with traktor and therefore you don't need soundcard-the sound card's are now built in in cdj's.
