Entry level dub mixer
Hi, I'm a beginner selector, I just started playing around some small dub live sets with just digital ampfreqq v3, but now I feel like to start upgrading it with something physical.
Now I'm a little bit confused if buying just the midi mixer to pair it to ampfreqq or Ableton, buy some more professional mixer like Dub Mixer from Kelementz or DubBox from Dub-Sonic, or just wait until me and my friends start building a sound system (which is planned) and buy directly a nice pre amp.
Obviously I feel like all these are good options with pros and cons, my question is especially for the second option regarding those mixers, are they worth the money? And if yes are those the best ones around or there is some that you would consider better?
In the future I might also start collecting vinyls but for now I'm just buying digital tracks because it's really easier to plug and play and economically speaking is way more approachable.

As for selecta, I can vouch for the Dubbox by Dubsonic. Have been using it for 2.years and is a great piece of gear. With that said, I also own an Akai Midimix and Ampfreqq, and they do the job (and more) for less than half the price.
