ParticipantWhat genres you playing?
ParticipantWow….just goes to show you, people will do and say anything to look hip
ParticipantStyleFlip.com for the skins (they specialize in DJ kit, as opposed to SkinIt)
DJ Tech Tools’ excellent Chroma Caps are renowned for their playability and feel. They come in knobs, fatty knobs (for filters and such), and faders, and fit most mixers. Check out the website

Sorry to butt in, but here’s a small paragraph that might help you
wrote: Dutch house, often nicknamed dirty Dutch, is a style of electro house that originated in the Netherlands.[COLOR=#0b0080][21][/COLOR] It is primarily defined by complex rhythms made from Latin-influenced drum kits, a lower emphasis on basslines, and squeaky, high-pitched lead synths. Influences on the subgenre include Madchester, hip hop, Detroit techno, and other urban styles of music.[COLOR=#0b0080][22][/COLOR] Related artists include Afrojack, Chuckie,Hardwell, R3hab, Sidney Samson, Switch, and Tiësto.
Participantwelcome and good luck!

Zone provides you with a second output (master signal) with a seperate volume control. You could use it to have a second set of speakers in another room playing at a different level.
You can clearly see it’s “live sound” heritage. Two full mic channels with 3-band EQ and both with XLR or combi connectors and even +48V phantom power! Aux send/return channel for outboard FX. And nice filters built in.
You can also tell its age, 4 phono channels, nice if you are a vinyl jock ;-pGreetinx,
C.Even though it is like 6 years old, the reviews are excellent for it. Also, you dont see a lot of mixers with that kind of flexibility. Seriously, line/phono/firewire on all 4 channels? Also, I love the backlit EQ knobs, plus blus is like my “main” color. Also, the filters being near the x fader is something I appreciate. Never used vinyl, because controllers are more portable, and easier to maintain than turntables, but i’m considering adding a DVS system just for home. Right now I’m running a insanely mapped Launchpad to control Traktor, but i miss having some form of platter to control music (Sold my Stanton SCS.3), and since adding a controller with a full mixer section to a setup with a analog mixer is kind of redundant, i’m evaluating my setup, and maybe just a pair of single deck platter controllers, or maybe turntables if its not crazy expensive
ParticipantWelcome! You can certainly learn tons about DJing here
ParticipantWell welcome to the forum!
ParticipantSecondhand from eBay. It’s said to be in working order, and I can return it if it isn’t

Greetinx,
C.True, true. Basic rule of thumb: At least 2 Ghz processor, 4 gb RAM, and it should be able to run Traktor, Serato, whatev. You aren’t going to be layering 4 tracks with looping and effects, but it will get you from song a to song b until you can solve the problem
