Hello all, excuse me for the rookie question, but just wondering about changing my setup to include the Novation Twitch. I've found that I don't really use jog wheels as much (on my dn-sc2000) and tend to create mashups simply with cue points. The pads on the bottom of the Twitch look good for my workflow. Could it be used with an external mixer? I'd be using the DDM4k. Would that be a sweet set-up (of just mixer + twitch) or would it be unnecessary/overkill since the Twitch has a mixer section in it (the DDM4k has its own sweet set of features as well though) ?
I'm basically torn between saving up for the Twitch or saving up for the dn-mc6000 (selling my sc2000). I've had my eyes on the mc6000 for a long time but I go back and forth so much trying to figure out whether or not I really need the jogwheels! I am not a scratch dj but there's just something about not having platters that bothers me. I absolutely love the size of the mc6000 and everything about it. (Yes, I know the mc6000 is basically 2 sc2000's put together. I still do enjoy my sc2000!)
Anyone else also have this problem? I think it's still early for me and my guilty pleasure is thinking too much about changing my setup all the time, when I should be focusing on just practicing with what I have.
I'm basically at a crossroads where I'm ready to drop the required amount of money to settle down with my setup. With my beatmatching skills not up to par yet, I have to make a decision between
1) going towards the controllerist direction (Twitch, no jogwheels) and mix by setting up all cue points beforehand, never really feeling confident to drop in songs that have not been beatgridded/cue'd OR
2) go with the mc6000 and have the ability to hone my mixing skills down the line. This is why I'm leaning towards the mc6000!
I guess you could say I'm still finding my way with dj'ing...any thoughts?
Thanks for reading this! I'm sure I could have written this in fewer words. DJTT forum is the best distraction from pathology :-P
