I decided to jump right in before doing any further research ;D Then I went online and started to read, and realized how much work itll be, and how much itll actually cost. So instead I think Ill invest my money into a Behringer BCR-2000 ($80 or so on ebay): Which will work great with my current Behringer BCF-2000: With those two together ill be able to accomplish all of what I wanted to do with the custom one I was thinking of making. But Im not going to totally give up, because I think making custom things is fun. So when I have the money ill continue with it, and bring this topic back to life when I do.

Cool, thanks for the quick reply! I will spend a few days researching and Ill most definitely keep this updated. BTW: Does anyone have any links to someone who has done something similar with an old mixer? Thanks again! Ill be sure to post progress when it starts :)

Hello, I have this old numark mixer: I dont use it anymore, and after failing to sell it on ebay for $10. I thought of maybe using it to create a MIDI controller! Would I be able to salvage any parts from it? such as the knobs, faders and switches and turn this into a midi controller? My goal is to create a mixing board that I could use with Traktor DJ and also maybe be use the pots to control synthesizers inside Ableton Live/Cubase during music production. I havent researched creating MIDI controllers too much yet, but I have seen pictures of what others have built, and that gave me this idea. From what I understand I should be able to use the various components (faders, knobs), but i would need to rewire everything into a configuration which would be possible to send out as a MIDI signal to my PC? I guess im just trying to salvage as much as possible instead of going out and buying everything, I think it would be a good first time project since I believe it'll cost a lot less than having to buy all these components new? or am I wrong and these wont send the correct signals required for midi? Good idea or should I start from scratch? Thanks in advance!
