XDJ RX 4 channel?

[dillinger23]

No Traktor Post Fader-FX. End of Discussion.

Er.... end of YOUR discussion. People have different needs, and I really don't see why anybody would bother getting this if they want to use Traktor. It CAN control Traktor, but really what's the point? This is for people who want to eventually move on to CDJ900/2000s.

End of discussion.

Guys

1. I am really into XDJ-RX now and thinking of going for one. The only thing stopping me is the fear that Pioneer may be announcing 4 channel version (+couple of other improvements) of this unit soon (maybe at Musikmesse?). Do we have any leaks about a unit like that please or still nothing?

2. dillinger23. Is it really that good as you describe?
I need to decide if I want go modular or XDJ-RX. In both cases I am buying turntables (I think AT-LP120USBs as a lot of people praise them and they are not expensive and I cannot be bothered with looking for a used 1200mk2). I am also thinking of SL2/3 sound card to go with XDJ-RX as so I would be able to use DVS (I think I found info somewhere that xdjrx will never support DVS - even if it's gonna be Rekordbox's DVS) which is something that I want. I would also get SeratoDJ with SL2/3 but don't quite get how it would work with xdjrx being plugged via RCAs? I can understand DVS in that setting: 2 turntables send signal via timecode to the laptop and music is mixed by standalone mixer in xdjrx - everything controlled by SL2/3. But SeratoDJ with SL2/3 and plugged to xdjrx? How would that work? I don't quite get that (sorry for being stupid ).
This (xdjrx + 2 TTs + SL2/3) would give me a really flexible setup: ability to learn rekordbox ecosystem (which would mean easy transfer to cdi/djm setup in the clubs-most important feature for me), ability to listen to analog vinyl (albeit digitized by xdjrx's standalone mixer), DVS and SeratoDJ (although don't understand how SEratoDJ would work with SL2/3). So fully analog, fully digital (rekordbox+SeratoDJ) + half way solution i.e. DVS = great flexibility and ability to get used to Pionee'rs club standard way of playing - two most important things for me.

With modular.....I don't even know which mixer I would start off with. I would like to get an analog mixer to get the best out of analog vinyls which means going for AllenHeath only. But which AH? DB2/4 are expensive, have stability issues and don't work well with Macs (I already have rMBP). 92/62 guess are too old. 43/43C seem to be flawed mixers and not worth paying attention to. So what else is out there? Rane? Not a fan of their products somehow (+they are all digital these days). Pioneer? Love how Pioneer's djm's look and feel but....too expensive for home use ($2000 for a djm900nxs/2). And what we are left with? Not much choice do we? Maybe Reloops rmx80? (really cheap in my country at $500, Pioneer's djm clone and people say it even sounds the same in terms of sound quality). Or maybe Denon's DN-x1600? (I really like how it looks, it's not that expensive, Pioneer clone again, with advanced features but quite old now and not certified to work with SeratoDJ). But if not then what? Not much choice is there ?
If I chose the mixer then I am pretty sure I would also get ONE (1) AT-LP120 (to be able to play analog vinyls + DVS), one XDJ-1000 (to familiarize myself with Rekordbox workflow) and some external controller (xone:k1/2?).
Similar outcome then xdi-rx+SL2/3 but done in a different way and with different pros/cons.
What do you guys think?

3. It has been nearly a year since ZxZDeViLZxZ has flagged the issues with xdj-rx. Have they been fixed thru firmware updates until today?

4. When 2 turntables are hooked up to xdjrx and analog vinyl records are played and standalone mixer functionality is used on xdjrx, can one turn the xdjrs's screen off completely? (as the screen is not needed in this scenario + creates unneccassary glare, usually in darker bedroom setting)

Please guys help. It will be greatly appreciated.
mega thanks

If they are using CDJ's with rekordbox in the club, why not get the DDJ RZ?

Honestly bruv, it is better to invest in a set of CDJ's and mixer. YOu can rent out the equipment, then it will pay for itself.

1. DDJ-RZ, although designed for Rekordbox (as says on the box), is quite frankly removed from rekordbox run on CDJs in that it....doesn't have its own screens (like CDJs and xdjrx have). So you have to:
a) use laptop (always)
b) you will not get a flavour of 'CDJ rekordbox' ecosystem (which is based on being independent from laptop and having it's own screens)

2. What if you show up to the club and the rig is indeed CDJ/DJM but it's not 'rekordbox enabled'? (or even 'only take CDs')
