I got my first mixer on Christmas Day, a lovely gift from my fiancĂ©. I now have a Pioneer DDJ SB and I love it. setup was easy enough, but I am still learning how to mix properly etc and have a long way to go yet. That said, the controller has made it easier as it is more hands on than keyboard and mouse. Currently I’m learning how to manually beat match.
before getting the controller I’d been using sync to help with learning everything else to do with mixing such as timing, cutting into / out of tracks etc. I still have more learning to do!
given where I am in the learning curve I would say 6/10, setup was easy and I was mixing quite quickly but my prowess (or lack of) is still evident!
