Well I've been mixing with Traktor since late last august, and I really want to get some proper equipment. Ideally I'd have loads of cash and be able to pitch in for some CDJs and a nice mixer.

However, I've been eying up some midi controllers (the Bitstream 3x, specifically, though I'm looking at some other options. I basically want at least eight faders, minimum three pots per fader, and a crossfader) until I can make enough money. So my question is: has anyone here used this, or any other controllers, with Traktor, Ableton, or similar and have any recommendations/opinions/etc.?

Re: Midi Controller Advice?

it doesn't matter, buy anything that suits you best. every controller will do the same, just watch that you buy high resolution controller, so there will be smooth changing of values...

The Novation Remote Zero SL has always been a goody I'd say and for the price you can't go wrong. If you have a few more bucks then go for the Allen & Heath Xoned:2D, but if you'd want 8 channels you'd need to get two of them and that's the price of one CDJ1000 then.
