Traktor Z1

Not going to derail thread but loads of reasons why timecode with TDJ would be fab. Actually, turntables are fab...but that's not for this thread.

Nice addition to the lineup.

Not enough knobs and encoders on that one for me haha ;P

I'm happy with my VCM 100 for my portable setup. It has way more controls, amazing build quality, and I got it for about half the price of the Z1.

Only thing that's missing is TDJ's generic MIDI support..

Dont get me wrong this Z1 looks badass, but just because its new and shiny doesn't mean you NEED it eh. We see more and more guys buying new kit and it just gathers dust on the desk because they didn't think how to implement it in their own setup before buying. (i'm looking at you Mr. F1)
For me, a real mixer and 2 X1's is still the perfect setup.

Only a matter of time before they release one of these too:

Oh I dunno, after having it for ONE day I'm kicking myself for not buying the F1 sooner :P

fader needs to be on the side, no need for 3 crossfaders if they bought 2 and have a Z1 eh ;)
