So basically im going to be homeless for 5 months.
(I'm sub-letting my flat to a mate so I can save money for college next term)
This is seemed like a great idea just crashing on different sofas while doing my normal work and not spending any of it on rent but...
I just realised that im not going to be able to take my decks with me
So as a cut and paste solution this is what I had figured.
Laptop, crappy portable speakers, some form of midi controller and a program.
So ive got a couple of questions as Ive never dealt with the digital world before.
Are there any really cheap midi controllers that have jog wheels a mixer and a headphone out in the same thing?
if so then can I just plug it in and some speakers into my paptop and away I go?
next question: which program is super cheap and can they be used with an internal soundcard. I wanted serato but very quickly realised that you have to have the special sound card.
next question: if no midi controllers have the above specs then how can I sort my problem?
my budget is £100 at a push more like £50
I realise that this sort of solution is going to be crappy sound quality, with no bass. but at least ill have a sort of portable dj station that I can continue to practice with.
cheers boys, god I can't wait to go home!
