Sorry.. Maybe i should have given a bit more information about what i like in a controller, what my choice of software is and the kind of music i like to play. I’m a beginner DJ and looking to buy my first midi controller with a build in sound card .My choice of music is mostly techno, minimal, tech-house. My budget is around 200-300 euro. Right now i’m practising with a numark total control with traktor software. What i noticed with the total control is that its pretty cramped and dont fancy the jogwheels. What im looking for in a controller is a nice feeling of the knobs, they have to have some resistence, and smooth jogwheels that are spot on. I dont want a controller thats cramped, so it has to have a good layout like it has on the beatmix. Dont mind if the controller is big and heavy. I prefer one with total EQ kills and one thats able to use 2 effects at a time. I was also looking at the JB systems kontrol 3, but this can only use one effect at a time. Also looking at the behringer cmd studio 4A, but this seems to be missing a gain control… wtf? Other wise this would be perfect for me i think.
The reloop beatmix is available on the 25 of may here. (netherlands) I didnt expect it to have the same build quality as the TM4 but i think it has a decent build quality for this price range. Did not think it had a better build quality then the RL master edition, but maybe your right.
I love traktor software, but i saw some videos with the beatmix and VDJ and must say this looks pretty tight. (video @ 2:00) So maybe i have to reconsider my choice of software.
Theres also one thing i want to ask u guys. I’m curious what this beat-mash mode is about…? I got the feeling that this is a big aspect of this controller. I dont really know if this is something im looking for in a controller.
