It’s good to be frank in life Terry_42 :).
After playing for a few years with one simple unit that controls 4 decks where you have to switch every time from deck to deck, no pitch fader etc…you kinda miss the 2 ”actual players’ left and right from your mixer, i’m sure you know what i mean.
Well, so far nobody has mentioned DVS (except DJ Vintage)and the reason why i stick to it is my small budget….of course i take under consideration every suggestion for the modern controllers, but is DVS so overpassed?Hi DJ Vintage, thank u for takin the time to reply.
Well what i mean by ”cdj style” is the actual feel of 2 separated players, the feeling of the pitch riding, the beat matching (don’t get me wrong i love the sync function and i use it when its necessary), those simple and basic things of mixing.
Maybe i should describe my set up so i can clarify more my question. A pair of denon dns1000 (packed in their boxes),a 4 channel analogue mixer(urei 1603 with no fx on it) a reloop contour ie and of course a laptop.
Currently with my existing controller i can not beat match the way i used to do with my cdj’s. For instance there is no dedicated pitch fader for accurate pitch corrections so i had to map an encoder for that.I don’t want to sound boring so i will not get more into technical details but when i’m talking about ”mixing outside of the box” i mean all those small things that u have to consider when your mixing digitally (latency, drop outs, adjustments, mapping, software crashing, optimization etc.) and especially when your gear is not that expensive.
That’s why i’m questioning my self should i go back to a simple pair of players sacrificing the features of a dj software and re live the painful procedure of burning cds 🙂 or invest my few pennies on a soundcard or controller for DVS-HID.
I hope i made my question as much clear as possible and again sorry if my post sounds boring and long 🙂
