    Ok,Reloop official side states: Dimensions: 525 x 63 x 362 mm
    So thats 525 x 362.

    But magma riot pack xl seems to have smaller inside space:
    Dimensions: External (H/W/D): 56 x 37 x 23 Internal: 51 x 32 x 8 (controller compartment)
    That’s 36,2 cm (tm8) vs 32 cm (riot pack) http://www.magma-bags.de/produkte/riot-backpack-xl/riot-dj-backpack-xl-2-e.php3

    Even the xxl version seems to be too small: Internal: 68 x 33 x 8 cm

    And their bag & gear guide for tm8 offers only a case and a huge backpack which I don’t really like.

    So how do you get your controller in there?

    I’ve also came across this udg bag. Udg states it should fit tm8.

    And price wise I like this model but fitting is again questionable:

    It’s difficult to decide because we don’t have any dj stores here where I could’ve test both the controller and a bag for it. :S

    Yes, yes and yes. 🙂
    I also like all the things you’ve mentioned.
    Maybe I’m not so bothered with mirrored/cdj layout, but having a pitch fader on the outer side away from other controls is probably better.
    One last question and then I’ll stop bothering you.
    Which controller backpack do you use? Because tm8’s formfactor seems to be somewhere in between. Bigger than s4 and narrower than sx. So bags and backpacks for the first are too small and in bags meant to the second one there is some space left…

    Ok I get “zeroline” concept but on the other hand in my opinion the sound coming out from sx is not as good as the one from djm 850. And I’m talking about same cicumstances. So I doubt about same internals if they don’t produce equal quality sound. Yes djm is pricier,but sx is also far from cheap.
    I’m not sure about the mic input, because it’s not my experience (i was told about it by other djs). But Pioneer is upgrading mic input in sx2.

    Can you explain why is tm8 better for your workflow than sx? I’m very interested to read about it. I’ve considered my tendency to scratch and desire for big pads but I don’t want to miss something.

    Oh, I almost forgot, can somebody confirm slip mode issue being fixed in 1.7 beta?

    in reply to: Terminal mix 8 questions #2048151

    I was quick to judge. But I’ve had some bad experience with Pioneer in the past.
    One more question. What would you say about overall sound quality comparing SX and TM8 and mic input on SX?
    Because I wasn’t impressed with SX hooked up in a club. And I know some djs who rather use club’s mixer mic input instead of SX’s.

    @Santa Creek
    I also use cheap karaoke mic from Shure. As long as you know how to handle the mic eq and gain and channel volume fader and ofcourse your own instrument aka your voice it’s ok.
    I really don’t care about dvs functionality, but it would be nice to have some kind of jog led indicator.

    No, SX would not get dvs functionality. They claim it’s a technical inability, but as we all know about pioneer’s policy the real reason behind this is probably to not cannibalize the SZ sale.

    Yes, regarding that slip mode mapping issue. Reloop shoud’ve been issuing new firmware update a few days ago. So I’ll wait a bit before I order just to make sure everything is working when I get a new device. Too bad you can’t modify a natively supported controller’s mapping.

    Tnx for answers guys. It’s always nice to hear/read answers that you like. 🙂
    Regarding tm4 vs. tm8: I own Akai LPD 8 and I hope those pads on tm8 are similar quality and feel. They’re definitely more usable than small plastic buttons. Also the position of track load and hp cue buttons makes much more sense on tm8.
    Terry_42 this is the answer I was looking for about mic input. Real world usage example and opinion. Thank you for that.
    Now I must search for articles about transitioning from traktor to serato and then try to make this switch as smooth as possible.
