Thanks Whitty i am currently setting up the following controlers with my laptop
The Hercules MK2, this gives me 24bit audio out @ 48000hz latency of about 3ms with a master audio output and a monitor output, jogs to search through tracks and extra buttons that can be assigned as I choose.
The M-Audio X-session Pro – This gives me 4 channel mixing with eqs for all 4, a cross fader and extra buttons to be assigned, its design originaly for 2 tracks but I have reassigned the pitch faders to tracks C/D
The korg Nano (black) for cues and loops.
The korg Kontrol for effects samples and loops
After looking at all the products the above is basically all I need to perform live sets 4 track mixing with loops and effects inside traktor, you can get it all in for around 200 euros if you have a sound card and a pc already… not a bad price imo for more controls than you can shake a stick at.
The next stage of the project is to design a box to put all this inside as it all only needs one power supply for the laptop and one for the usb hub, my idea is to custom build a surface and get it laser cut and add all the buttons and controls in a nice layout to have a custom controller.
But first the mapping... the quest continues...
