...Omnitronic looks OK, how many channels do you want/need? a 2-channel with a basic NI soundcard would be a pretty inexpensive setup.
if you can stick out saving a bit longer, maybe look at a 2nd hand Mastersounds Radius 2, they've brought out a new model and I'm seeing quite a lot for sale.
Pretty much my current set-up on page 6 of this thread, except I added the RMX1000 FX unit. I posted loads of rotaries earlier in this thread too.

TBH if you are just satisfied with 2 channels you could save yourself a few quid and get one of these www.native-instruments.com/en/products/traktor/dj-audio-interfaces/traktor-audio-2/...then use the extra cash left over to get a Kontrol X1 to actually interface with your software- that is if you use Traktor, but I think there are plenty of Midi maps out there for Serato. I still have a 1st gen X1 and love to to death. Does everything you really need . Pick one up on Ebay for about 100 quid/dollars |

...yes, was gonna say, Audio 2 should do the job. Agreed on the X1 too, loads of fancy controllers out there but they work really well, esp. with Traktor.

K2 is also an option. It comes with the same price as X1 and has a pretty good 2 channel soundcard in it. I used it for that for two or three months before I got my PX:5.

Pulled the trigger on some Denon SC5000s. Been doing a lot of research over the past few months reading the reviews and forums and the majority vote is unduer the hood they wipe the floor with the comparable Pioneer kit. Quad processor , high res screens, dual layer etc etc. Jury is out on the Engine software and their acceptance with the big names in the booth , but as I haven’t played out properly in years I’m not too fusssed. I want to get back to loading some tracks on a drive and just doing some mixing on the fly, without bloody Traktor and a laptop . Plus the green dot matrix screen on my CDJ900s weren’t doing it for me in the end , no matter how retro they looked!
Will give you a review and initial thoughts once they arrive/I get stuck in. I did spend some time on them and the prime mixer in Guitar center the other week and I loved them, not so much the prime mixer though.

Bit of a leap of faith leaving the Pioneer infrastructure, but using 10 yr old CDJs was becoming more of a pain. Really looking forward to seeing artwork on the screen in a more simplistic fashion. My brain is so wired to visuals rather than words due to years of iPhone / iTunes use its scary

...obsessively monitoring Fedex deliver updates to see if they will get delivered on Saturday , therefore turning a dull dry January Weekend into a fun filled tech fest. Fingers crossed !

Intercepted and all setup in Industry Standard towers . Pretty impressed so far . Make my old CDJ900s feel prehistoric . Suppose they did come out a decade ago. The sound is great too. One of the pitch controls is a bit wobbly but I got B stock refurbs from Denon so saved $400 on the pair . Just added a bit of felt under the knob and seems more sturdy now. Rest of the build quality is to notch. Workflow and screen amazing Attachments:
