Behringer CMD Series

I think that DDJT was pointing it out as a software integration issue more then the actual unit. They are Traktor friendly too.

I like Phil, I think he's a great reviewer, I've been watching his stuff for years but because the Studio 4a's target demographic is mainly new and budget djs, they might not know better and take his review as a conclusive take on it. I've been supporting the CMD line for a long time, I just want to make sure they get there fair shot.

Losing the silkscreen isn't a tradeoff for price, it's a manufacturing problem. If I had to guess, I would say that some of the pre-production faceplates made it to the production models. But until I hear from our factory, I won't know for sure. This is actually a problem we knew about with the pre-production units and addressed for the production run. And the silkscreen on the production units I have don't scratch off, or rub off with alcohol (one of the ways we test the silkscreen). So this sounds like a problem at the factory.

That's good stuff to know. These really do look like some nice professional pieces of kit, and it would have been a shame for the silkscreening to have been substandard.

Just got my mm-1 and pl-1 today, of course as soon as i go to download the pl-1 mapping the links are dead on the Behringer site. Build quality is ok about the same as the ddm4000 faders wobble side to side as well as the knobs, other than that they are pretty nice controllers especially at the price point.

Today i learned a new word: Rebuttal

I thought nothing less than it was a mapping issue, but thanks for confirming it! It sort of sounded on the DDT review that it was an hardware issue or not fixable. But as you say, anyone who knows, these things can get sorted out, but for a new person in the business it could have been interpreted as if it wasn't.
I understand though that he reviewed the unit and the LE version that it came with. But he could have mentioned the possibilities available. No gain? Use the high EQ knob for it and use the kill switch for eq business. Or the other way around, use the kill switch as a shift key with maybe jogwheel to fix gain.

I really hope that people going into digital dj'ing, even for the first time, give making personal mappings a try! That i have always assumed at least. It's cheap to upgrade to full version of deckadance and Traktor will probably go on a 50% sale soon enough.
Not sure but you can get deckadance for 40% of at http://www.jrrshop.com/image-line-deckadance-2 - add "forum" as a coupon and get another 10% off (43$ but for europe i think taxes are added - still cheap!!)

C and D buttons are good candidates for shift functions also!

30.5 x 15.2 x 4.5 cm

Thanks very much Stewe.

I assume 4.5cm height includes the knobs/faders? Could you tell me the height of just the box itself?

4.5cm is the box solo

Saying that, I had some crazy idea for those button assignments...

Oh right. Wow that is kinda thick isn't it?

Well that's actually pretty good news if you were hoping there was some space in there for modding...

Thanks again for the info.

Hello everyone,
i have a serious problem with my new cmd mm1 controller, it seems to freeze in traktor pro 2, what actually means unplug it from power and usb and replugg several times before you can go on mixing. Can someone please help me ?
