Sorry this is a spin off of another thread i made earlier but has different questions so probably warrants it's own thread...
I've just purchased a DJM-450 it comes with RekordBox DVS but it's not even close to being on the same level as Traktor Scratch DVS.
I have been looking at the possibility of switching back to Traktor but have a few questions.
I have only ever used certified mixers (DNX1600 or Z2).. I've been looking at the Scratch A6 (newest version) and this will at least give me the best of both worlds.
I play a lot of real vinyl though so I'm curious how that works in the software? the new A6 has no hardware buttons.
Is it just a case of switching to THRU (Direct Input) in the software? - Assuming this can be midi mapped to a button it's not a problem.
I'm also worried about the sound coming through from real vinyl, on my old S4 the volume was incredibly low. I can't remember how well it come through on the Z2? It's a standalone mixer so should be fine.
Failing this, what other mixer alternatives do I have? I don't want to go back to the DNX1600 and not overly excited about the Z2, it's dated.
In short...
1. I play a lot of real vinyl though so I'm curious how A6 works in the software?
2. Is it just a case of switching to THRU (Direct Input) in the software?
3. Can it be midi mapped?
4. How is the sound from real vinyl? compared to digital?
5. How is the sound through real vinyl from Z2?
6. Are there any other mixers I can look at that will work with Traktor DVS?
Sorry for all the questions, I'm feeling a little deflated after this rekordbox purchase so I want to get it right.
Thanks
