    Interesting question…

    Should be fine. I use three external drives for 3 different Itunes libraries…

    A possible issue.

    Sync, specifically if automatic sync is on.
    Any changes made it iTunes/RekordBox will cause the folders/files to be out of sync. (possible not meta data?)
    Then Google Drive will start syncing.

    Possible Solution.

    Make sure Google Drive sync is off while playing. (Quit the Google Drive desktop app while mixing too!)
    Then after playing turn sync back on.

    You should not make any meta data changes in rekordBox either while playing..

    Would love to see others thoughts..
    Sounds like a fun little hack.

    Cheers

    Record pools are a great source for tools such as transition tracks.

    Get your feet wet with Digitaldjpool.com (You can try them out for only 1$ for 5 days.)

    There are many more

    Building your own is the way to go.
    Its fun(well for some), you save money and it is custom to your gear.

    Ikea hacks or Pinterest are good places to start if you need ideas.

    You need a sound card.
    Either built into the mixer or single/external device (Traktor Scratch Audio Focusrite etc).
    NI Audio 2 is probably the cheapest solution (99$).

    Tuning is subjective…

    Perhaps their ignorance is bliss.

    And certainly….
    Not sad to be in a state of pure bliss.

    If you plan to use Rekordbox..

    The S2 Mk2 is not ideal.

    Point is Traktor is always best with Traktor controllers IMO.

    For using Traktor,the S2 Mk2 is ideal (especially if you want platters).

    Good when it came out.
    Its the same controller.
    So good still…

    These two are used by my mates.
    (Prices in USD)

    Allen & Heath XONE:23 2-Plus-2 Channel DJ Mixer – $299

    Great construction. Classic Xone filters. Wonderful high end sound.

    DJTECH DIF1S DJ Scratch Mixer – $199

    Many of my scratch bros use this budget mixer.. Best crossfader by far in the ‘affordable’ category…
    I believe QBert was part of the design team.
    Good metal build too.

    The best mixer is the one you use!
    Happy hunting bro

    We all know real carpenters only use the Stanley 105 Hand Drill. Power drills are for posers.

    While geeking out on audio specs never forget comfort.

    Hopefully some of the reviews mention this, but everyones head is different so its only a reference…

    Know many a friend who bought fancy new cans only to find they experience ear fatigue after 30 minutes of mixing.
    If your in pain, mixing isn’t much fun.

    Like Vintage said, testing out gear before you buy is the way to go.

    Do yourself and the event a favor and rent a PA.

    Have them rent the gear and donate your DJ skills to support the cause.

    The AMX is a mixer…

    RCA is fine…
    Usually the only connection the sound guy will let access when gigging.
