Hi everyone....I have a Vestax VMC 002 and I'd like to connect it to my mpc 2500 and technics 1200...but that mixer sucks..since it has no AUX out.

So according to my techno-knowledge (very close to ignorant)...with such a mixer it is not possible to record the sample from the vinyl, which is playing on the turntable. Is my opinion correct??
If this is the case, which mixer could you advise to me, as alternative to mine (i mean one with the AUX) ? Don't be shy...
I would need details on brand, price etc...I would only use it for my mpc..so I don't think I would need a super-pro mixer.

many thks in advance for yr answers.
Rgds.

I've never used VMC-002, but this mixer is totally adequate. Your mixer has more than 2 stereo output!

It even has balanced out (that's the third output), which is the best to use with MPC, especially when your DJ set up and your MPC-2500 are not close to each other. MPC-2500 has balanced input, so can totally take advantage of it. You'll need a pair of female XLR3 to TRS cables.
