    Without knowing what VDJ offers, I know echo on 1/2-1/4 is a great way to fade out with some creative EQing and filters. This however varies massively on the genre I think, and that would also change how you mix. Its harder to beatmix rock for an example, whereas it would not necessarily make a lot of sense to do hard and fast cuts in techno mixes. Not all transitions need effects.

    If you’re newish to DJing or with your system at least, try just messing around a bit and seeing what works best for you. There are a ton of ways to mix songs together creatively and that’s what makes DJing so much fun 🙂

    Thanks Rick Dawson, I’ll make sure to check out traktor bible some before I get my next unit. Do you have any advice on any of the equipment and how much overlap they provide each other?

    I know the midifighter has a great sequencer but I don’t know how much overlap it has with the F1, or how useful the X1 is beyond simple transport functions (which the SX has already)

    Fun deep house-y song with a nice groove.

    Happy new years everybody!

    I haven’t seen anywhere that sells them for that cheap. All new ones I have seen on amazon eBay or guitar center have been around 1000 or more, and used ranging from 500-900 depending on the place and condition…

    Only exception being this website which I’ve never heard of. Have any of you…? Seems a little sketchy because I can’t find anything about it on google.

    There were a few at guitar center for 650-699 that are in decent used condition that I could look at. I’ll ship one or two to my local store so I can try them out and look at the wear and tear. Any other comments?

    Am I correct in sayin that I don’t need one with serato with it because I can download the full version for free? It doesn’t een one with an activation code or anything it automatically becomes active and the full version when I plug in an SX?

    Thanks

    Ok thanks I’ll check that out.
    And in the last part I meant for discovering new music. I know I can sort it already in the software but I don’t have a song that is let’s say trance, 6A and 131 bpm at the same time. So I need a way to find a song like that. Or just try to mix to the song after that without it.
