    Default Time to switch my controller?

    asdfasda.jpg

    Hey guys, I've had a numark mix track pro ever since I started DJing, and I've been spinning for a couple months. Is it time for me to switch my controller or no? And I've also been on Virtual Dj, do i need to switch? jhjhj.jpg

    Thanks!
    Sincerely, DJ sn1ck.

    There's no set time limit which determines whether a person needs to switch equipment or not. The real question is not time, but rather asking yourself if your skills have outgrown your equipment or if your equipment no longer fits your desired workflow. Which software you would like to use is also only something you can determine. No matter what people suggest and what works for them, only you know what you feel comfortable using and what makes your job easier/more efficient. I would suggest looking for trial versions of different softwares and taking them for a spin. HOWEVER, if you do decide that you want a new controller/software, I have an M-Audio Xponent available pretty cheap in the for sale section of the forums that can be found here: http://forum.djtechtools.com/showthread.php?t=53464 Hope this helps!

    It's your decision, if you feel like your ready for better gear and better software then do it go down to your local music/dj shop and try some different controllers also do the pros and cons on software and hardware this will help you find out what you need HAPPY GEAR SHOPPING ITS ALWAS FUN

    After a while, you will find yourself asking things of your current setup that you just can't do, or at least, do easily.

    I found that with my now ancient VCI-100 and its effects section. Also, in order to use 4 decks, I needed to implement a layering system to access them, on what is essentially a 2 deck designed controller.

    Or perhaps you've seen a technique that you want to practise that you can't easily with your current hardware.

    The DJTT controllers aren't in the cheap end of the market. They are built for a niche, and work well for it, but if you want bang for your buck, you are better off looking at the second hand market.
