Thanks Gulli, good input from someone that has travelled the broad and narrow of available options out there.
Cross is looking better by the minute and might just be the platform for me to settle on. I don’t use remix decks (not that kind of DJ I guess) and I have excellent FX in my X1600 mixer (and can still map the midi on the mixer to trigger FX in the software :-)) so not too worried there.
I was interested in Serato, but the “closed” environment blew me off. I am tech savvy, so fiddling with stuff is not a biggy. Hence the “plug and play” isn’t a very big advantage to me.
Thanks again & greetinx,
C.
