Im quite new to this world of electronic music production. I am wondering if anybody has any advice for a basic midi controller (on a budget). At the moment the Korg Nano looks most apealing. and body got any knowlege of this, or other sub fifty quid keyboards?

Can't go wrong with the Novation Nocturn

Automaps to Ableton which is nice. Circa 60-70 rips. Plenty of info on web about it.

Probably not what you're after, but for DJing with Traktor the best thing to get would appear to the modified Vestax VCI-100 that DJ Tech Tools sell, the VCI-100SE (http://techtools.myshopify.com/collections/midi-controllers/products/vci-100se). I'm going to get one in the autumn for doing rainy day mixes.

Avoid keys. Seek a Behringer BCR2000.

There's a billion knobs for you to assign here. You can pick these up 2nd hand for 50 or 60 quid. Much more bang for the buck than trash like the M Audio X session, which is all I have the now :(
