I'm about to buy a new mixer, and models like korg zero, evo 5 atracto my attention cause of their sound card ( maybe I will get into production in some time), its worth? it is as good as an external soundcard? it would be better to expose my sound card at gigs XD ? it can expose me to more technical flaws when performing?

I have the Vestax VCI-100 using Traktor Pro on a Mac.

I would like to get a digital mixer that I could use with Ableton as well as Traktor Pro.

Would like to route the VCI-100 channels to the mixer, so i can free up the VCI-100's volume sliders to use for FX.

Then have another channel for Ableton running through the mixer.

Will I be able to get both laptops to sync correctly?

If that makes sense....lol!

you could get traktor and ableton to sync thru midiclock, but its a pain in the ass and not recommended unless you have a second computer.

Will be running Traktor Pro on my Mac and Ableton(in testing phase) on my PC laptop.

Pretty much a Hawtin setup without the Xone, and using the VCI for control of everything.

Id love to have a mixer with a soundcard, but then, I'd need full quality .wav tracks to really take advantage of higher-end, 24bit sound. Or just use my own tracks, but then, at that quality, all the crap sticks out...
