The RMX....meh....
The VCI 100 MK2...they've ruined it!
AHDB4.....does nothing for me.


kontrol s4 is the only thing im interested in to be honest, think im gonna wait till next year to buy one, let any problems and bugs to be worked out!

CyberWaste

And the new VCI 100 MK2 is all plastic now :eek: Thats one of the reasons why the VCI 100 is so good, as its so sturdy and rugged.

If I had the cash, and the room in the gaff to put a proper stand in, I'd go for the Allen & Heath

Edit: Actually scratch that, just checked what it retails at, f*ck right off.

I've just added an audio 8 to my set up, sounds amazing, so I have choice between using my 2 x1's or my vci-100.

I might consider selling it all infavour of an s4, but I'm still undecided!

jesus A&H's design team must be going blind. That thing is fcuking tacky looking. Looks like one of pioneer's ugly monsters.

That A&H looks like a more expensive version of a Behringer DDM4000. Which I'm not a fan of.

My ideal set-up is still (by far) Traktor Scratch, two CDJs, 2 X1s, and a mixer. Can't imagine anything better than that.

I'm looking for something that'll integrate vinyl and digital, suppose that could easily be a standard 3 channel mixer, 2 channels for the 1210s and another for a line in from Traktor. As I say, all I need is more space and more money...

On a budget the Hercules or American Audio VMS4 or maybe the Behringer ddm4000 midi/mixer hybrid if you don't need the jogs and need the space ?

Of course if theres no budget ........

Recently purchased one of these little fellows: excellent controller with Traktor, you can buy other modules that elimate the need for a shift button on the controller to access other Traktor options, but this is really all you need, spotted the resident dj in Berghain using them so i sussed it out, integrates perfectly, check em out!


maybe not so good for the beginner though!

Oh yeah i think the new native instruments controller for Traktor is out the end of the month too!

Hrmm .. just spotted this hidden away on a obscure site .. haven't seen it anywhere else mind you .. but is listed on the Citronic Website (catalogue only)

Apparently coming in december.

Looks interesting ... Will play direct from flash drives on one side and midi on the other, pure midi controller, pure flash... has some (probably crappy) effects per channel.

so what, this gear is class, they dont all have to have flashing lights you know!

Zascar

Yeah but they could have put a bit more effort in to make it a bit better looking and more ergonomic - looks messy

Total misuse of space that yolk. You could easily get another 150 buttons on the bottom of it.

Seriously though. It's ridiculous looking. Looks like a button making machine got sick in a box!

Not technically new, but not well know and pretty cool.
