    -Numark NS6 (Numark also produces DJ Headphones)
    – Vestax VCI-400

    Actually, the VCI-400 does not work with Serato Itch, but the VCI-380 (coming out shortly) does and looks to be an elite serato itch controller.

    I wasn’t advocating…just stating the fact. I agree.

    PS: the USB stick record feature on the DJM-350 is sweet.

    Ultimately, its the end-user who benefits. The Denon MC3000 and NI S2 compete…if one manufacturer drops the price $100 the competitor follows suite, because as you said there really isnt that much differentiation between controllers to justify the price difference.

    Oh wait vestax is dropping the VCI-380 and the Twitch is no longer the only itch controller with SLICE functionatlity = Novation just dropped the price of the Twitch $100 and so on.

    The only problem is there is TOO much redundancy like in the automotive industry. A pontiac VIBE and a toyota MATRIX were the same damn vehicle and endless other examples. Let’s see if midi controllers follow suit with the automobile industry.

    You have to keep in mind that DJing is the “new cool hot thing” right now and the user base is exploding I feel. Just look at every other Sprint/Coca cola etc commercial…people at a party drinking and dancing with a DJ (often times on Midi controllers now). It makes it very appealing to a novice to be able to drop $500 on a decent controller and get up and running with an all in one unit compared to investing in CDJs/TT and a mixer …etc.

    The CDJ-900s have caught my eye. I love the SLIP feature for scratching…endless possibilities. They are native Serato Scratch Live midi controllers so you don’t need to ditch the screen! The DJM-900 is also traktor certified if you wanted to stick with Traktor.

    Post some pics or shoot me a message when you get them.

    “Ask yourself “how often have I seen a digital clock being displayed prominently on a wall?” We have digital clocks, and people use and like them, but they don’t see them in the same light as a clock with moving hands. Somehow, this same sentiment and feeling is influencing how people feel about midi controllers and DJing with them.” ~Spektakx

    This is Dope, but I diasgree that midi controllers will Fail…

    You can definitely damage the mixer as well.
    The club that I play at has 2 of the 8 channels “blown” on it already.

    VCI-380 is going to be a beast. I’ve already seen a video for someone swapping out the factory crossfader for the crossfader in the Vestax PMC 04 mixer and cutting up a rug on it. I may look into this as my “travel” / “Flight” kit.
