ParticipantGotta be an upgrade from my mixtrack
ParticipantCheers guys I’ll be sure to let you know how I get on . I just don’t think I could’ve got another controller as featured (for me )as this for similar money .
If I hate it I’ll change again lol
ParticipantI’ll be honest I don’t really need much in the way of performance pads etc . I don’t use to many effects etc as I dj old skool hardcore so I try to avoid going effects crazy .
I gave 240 for it which I felt was a good price but I’m questioning that now . All the others for sale
seem to be around 350 quid
ParticipantOh . That’s a pretty blunt answer I hope I haven’t just made a huge mistake ! It’s not new I haven’t paid a lot for it . It was between this and the ddjsr in the end
ParticipantCheers ! It seems to fit everything I need and it was only 240 quid . Nothing else I could afford had the same features this does that I was looking for .
I did a lot of research and it was a really tough call , bit the jog illumination and needle strip search sold it to me !
I may of course be entirely in the wrong but for now it will easily outperform my mixtrack
ParticipantThanks for the tips on the ns6 . Maybe I won’t then lol
ParticipantI think I may have found what I’m after . Numark ns6 . Has lit jog wheels and i like the jogs on my mixtrack the only thing it has I dint really want is its 4 channel . It seems that numark used to do lit jogs on a variety of models but no longer bother . I like the denon stiff but the jogs look a bit small . And I like pioneer but think the prices are crazy unless I go for a ddjs1 which I know is an older unit
ParticipantYeah the pitch fader did stand out to me tbh . Think I need to see one in the flesh
ParticipantI know someone with nexus 2s and they are lovely but I’d never spend that amount on a home setup . I don’t have it but I think it’s crazy money.
Tbh I thing the visual jog indicators are going to be one of the things that’s going to be compromised . Nothing in the 500 quid bracket has them
I like the denon but I like a half decent sized jog wheel . My mixtrack are about cd sized
ParticipantAwesome response . I kind of wondered if pioneer was a bit dearer than it should be , the thing that draws me to it is the ease of resale aswell . I have a set of really lovely to use citronic vinyl decks but I can’t seem to sell them . If they were technics they’d be gone instantly lol .
I really like serato intro so I can only imagine that serato dj is even better so I think I will probably lean towards a serato based controller . That said I’ve used a pair of nexus cdj’s recently using a USB stick and the recordbox seemed to work well .
I manually beat match most of the time but I do use the on screen bpm guides. I think using sync is fine to especially if your bringing a lot into your mix , but I generally play break beat hardcore from around 94 and 95 so i tend to mix as if I’m still using vinyl . I don’t really go heavy with effects etc .
I like the look of the numark nv but wonder if Id be paying for screens I don’t really need and for the same money a controller without screens may offer more features . Also no jog illumination
The pioneer sr looks great bar the shirt faders (although this may be a non issue) and no jog wheel illumination . I like the sx but it’s bigger than I need and the only things it has the sr doesn’t for me is the long pitch and illuminating jog centres
I’ve looked at denon stuff . What one do you have ? I like the 4000 but once you pay for full serato may aswell just buy the 6000
Thanks for the info on the pitch controls with that info is invaluable and will prevent me writing off a controller that had everything I want but long faders .
Im very much one for moving with the times tbh . Yes vinyls lovely to mess about with , it’s also expensive and takes up a lot of room which I don’t really have lol . I just see it as moving forward
I’ve seen slipmatt and Billy Daniel bunter using controllers . I think even to a point cdj’s have had there day unless they are the ones that take a usb key .
For me the controller seems to be the most rounded choice
Lots to consider . Cheers for your input
ParticipantSo last night after much messing around we got a decent quality sound using the mic in on the lap top! Had to delete and reinstall mic drivers and turn off all the echo reducing etc etc, knocked the mic down to 40 percent input and got a recording that was clear. Connected to the server to do a dummy run of sound quality and it was all good their end. Not the way I really wanted to do it but it works!
Now just got to get a microphone and I’m pretty much all set! I will look at getting an ehgernet cable bit it will have to be about 30 metres long as my Internet hubs in the front room and I’ll be djing out of my garage lol
Cheers for your help guysParticipantI was kind of hoping to do it without buying more kit lol.
Cheers guys for your suggestions I’ll have a think of what to do
ParticipantI’m not entirely sure what they are using tbh but I have got all the server codes to connect to etc.
I mean there must be a way of broadcasting the sound that’s already in windows, mixx says it can and mixx does record what I’m doing. It’s just that mixx isnt quite as well polished as serato.
Basically I don’t want to connect to the mic in on my pc as the sound is awful, but when I record internally on mixx it’s perfect
ParticipantI was kind of hoping there would be a way of recording without buying anything else. all the windows noises come out of my speakers so I assumed I’d be able to find a programme for free that would record without needing anything else
ParticipantCheers for the info your more clued up than I am. What I’m after is that 94 95 stuff before it ventured off into the shite that was toytown, heart of gold etc lol. You’ve been a great input
