Suggestions please.

OK folks, here we go again. I've now got an American Audio VMS4.1, and love it to bits. This leaves me with two channels for backup/ second playout. Using a second laptop, soundcard and controller, is time consuming and cumbersome.

Now I've seen what one person on here can do with a small apple product into one channel (No idea what it's called, but It's very clever ) which would leave one channel with a cable to connect guests phones and ipods if necessary. Perfect. I feel however that this is beyond my budget, and would offend the Luddite in me. :D

Can anyone suggest a small playout which would preferably accept USB sticks, and had two playout channels, even if it had only one output ( ie a mixer of some sort. ) This would still leave me a spare channel for phones and the like.

Low cost and small size are vital. I've got a Cortex, but that really means a case and keyboard, so still cumbersome.

The American dj SDJ2 may suit you. Its configurable as one or two outputs and doesnt require a keyboard and takes usb and sd cards. Ive seen them new for around £149 in the past so you might get a second hand one for < £100.

A contender. It had crossed my mind.

Get thee behind me cheers damian :Naughty:
1) Price drop or no, it's still too :Censored: expensive.
2) It's made by a company whose products I only use under duress.
3) I don't think I could learn to drive it. :o

My dad is around the same age as you and is computer illiterate (you can come onto a forum and use it but to ask him to do the same would be asking a dog to tango) but can use an iPhone 4. :P
