With a controller if my laptop dies it would basically be the end of the night. But with a more modular setup I can always have something else prepared in case my laptop dies.

And…….if one of your cdj dies? you will be a jukebox, playing one song after another, lol. You won’t have trouble with a good computer if is use just for DJing. Worst thing to do is use the dj laptop as your personal everyday computer, that’s when thing go wrong.

NO,no,no,no. By the time it becomes ready, it will be obsolete

Fine I accept that. Say you you use sync because you cant beat match…fine i accept that. Call it what it is…dont sugar coat it and dont make lame excuses.

When im playing House/tech/minimal/deep I will have all 4 tracks going not using sync. Its a tool that makes life easier and simpler that I agree with.

on the other note….how the F do you have 5 decks going at once? Can you post a mix of you using 5 decks? I am really curious as to what this would sound like, and what style of music do you play that you can have 5 decks going at once and make it sound clean?

No need for sync as most of those are at the same BPM

Love the change from 1 to another, I am pleased with Serato Itch and my NS6. However, I want more hardware. I want to utilize the external mixer capabilities that the NS6 has, but I don’t know what to add.

Does anyone have suggestions on what I can add to my gear that will enable me to:
1. Trigger samples?
2. More effects?
3. Add a wow factor to live mixes.

What is everyone else attaching to their NS6?

Is very limited what you can add to control function that the ns6 won’t do in ITCH, but if you want to add you’ll need a midi to keystroke converter software and another midi control.Here what I’m doing. I used traktor for along time with a mc 6000 and 2 sc2000 but I like to try new things so I bought a ns6 and really like ITCH but still like the fx of traktor. The 4 trak is exactly the same as the ns6 but it have the fx bar which is why is a whole new game with traktor (traktor mapping for the ns6 is really bad because of the fx section) that’s why I’m waiting for the behringer dv1 to add to the ns6 to use it for the fx section and 4 trak mapping, that way I can use either Traktor or Itch depending how I feel that day.

i did consider the denon dn mc 6000 but i have two mc 2000’s and i feel claustrophobic playing them and press the wrong buttons quite often, the deck switch funtion i find completely unusable as the effect knobs etc are all in the wrong place and it takes too much mental strain to switch to the right deck under pressure. i liked how the mc 6000 has every feature you could possibly need but its all too cramped. also the buttons like cue 1 felt like they would wear out so i was always conscious that i should try to tap it less which isnt fun. so i ruled that out, i did really like the jog wheels on the denons with the touch sensetive platter on the top (which could be switched off) and the CDj style pitch control from touching the sides of the platter, does the vci 400 have that? the kontrols wheels look pretty rubbish as far as i can see. Also another deal breaker for me is the inputs and analogue mixe capability, can you run CD’s into the vci400/s4 and straight out of the mixer? i think in this sites review they said you need to rout it through traktor on the vci400, does that mean a timecode setup? i want to expand later and get cdjs and use them as a bakup should my latptop go into meltdwn. also the lack of rca out is a minor inconvenience on the vci 400. but everything else on it looks perfect. is it a case of good jog wheels or no analoge mixer?

Get the 6000 with the 2 2000, that was my set up until 2 wk’s ago. Use the switch bottom to change from regular deck to sampler deck. The 6000 have the pitch fader on the top not on the side like the 2000. Yes is cramped but fun, 4 decks total control.

It gives me the same workflow that I love on my 6000, but with a full featured (and absolutely beautiful sounding) mixer that I can hook my old CD decks, turntables, Ableton controller, or pretty much anything else I could come up with to…

It’s also given me some unexpected flexibility as I can now just bring one or two of the SC2000’s if I’m working somewhere with a cramped booth but a solid mixer.

All of that said, I agree with D-Jam, turntables are a giant pain in the ass – I haven’t had mine set up in over 5 years now. So really think through what you will want and need and then start shopping based on that.

Good luck!

Just curious but Why invest in the 1600 when you can use the 2000 with the 6000 (this was my set up up until this past week when I order the ns6) total control 4 decks with 4 line fader + individual fx for each deck
