Hi Everyone,
i have been djing for 15 years i always used 1210s, cdj800s and pioneer djms
i changed to traktor3 and have used ever since i now use the s4
the reason i changed was that i liked the fact that all effects were quantized and loops were perfect.
2 weeks ago i had a go on my mates djm900 nexus and cdj900s.(first time ive used a mixer in years)
i have not enjoyed djing so much in years and am now looking at buying cdj900s
it makes the s4 feel toy like:(
i like the fact there is no easy sync option and that you get enjoyment out of beat mixing again
and interacting more with the crowd (instead of spending most of your gig looking at a laptop screen)
while the hardware takes care of the quantizing of the effects and perfect loops -great
BUT
my problem is that the cost of having quantized effects and perfect loops is very high compaired with
all the software and controller options.
Are pioneer considering a mixer similar to what denon have done with the dnx600 a stripped down version of the 1600.
2 channels , 2 colour effects filter/space (a knob on each channel) 6 to 10 beat effects flanger/gater/roll/echo/delay ..... a top quality djm 850/900 sound
with balanced xlr outputs and send and return so it could be used with rmx1000 with a cost of about £600-£800 where mobile djs
can afford to use pioneer.
everything is for bedroom dj or club install what about inbetween?
