Hi all,

I've been searching high and low for answers and can't find any...

I sample from vinyl onto my mpc 1000, currently with a preamp. I'd like to EQ before it hits the mpc, can anybody recommend a good reliable mixer mainly for sampling and some scratching.

Been trying to find a mixer with a record out, phono in, line in (x2?) all on separate channels. Then aux in (pc/phone) & xlr out. 2-3 channels because I may wanna get a microkorg in the future.

Was looking at ecler nuo 2.0, looks like it has great eq's, pretty small, phono in, line in, rec & xlr out.. but no aux, only a mic (which does have its own channel) dunno if that mic input can be used for aux with a connector. Also the djm 400(?) as you can kind of 'pre-sample' before it hits the mpc, I just don't think it has record out for my mpc :(

Anyways yeah a future proof mixer that I can connect an mpc, turntable, monitors & possibly korg to.

Cheers for any help :nod:

The Allen & Heath Xone range of dj mixers sound excellent and have resonant analog (i think) filters. Way better sounding than the 1000 very average filters.
