Novation Twitch....Who Wants One? :)

[mameeshkamatt]

unpacked twitch few hours ago, impressed so far!
Iv come from a ableton live dj setup using apc40 so this is a big jump but im really enjoying beat matching and going back to two deck mixing

will write more when iv had a few days with it

Im thinking about and not order my twitch anymore, you must check the Novation Twitch Serato Forum, a lot of people complaining about the lower output of twitch, and even workin with a mixer together it must gain the volume on mixer at MAXIMUM and even that is much lower than Cdjs, or other setups using sound cards, or S4.....

This is complete SHAME ! novation must recall all twitchs if they dont want their producut became a total FIASCO

While that is a bit lame I'm not sure I see that as a problem big enough to stop you from buying it. I mean just turn up the amp/the gain on the mixer, right?

Tha's will be a problem imagine if you will play before other dj with other setup, and your sound is much lower than this before you, and even increasing the gain on mixer even TO THE MAXIMUM total Red, the sound is lower.. and more, if you will play in a gig that dont have a mixer and must plug your twitch directly ? it's will be a big problem...

Novation had to recall this product, this dont sound not professional for me...

[MrPopinjay]

That's not even slightly true, you'll be able to get to the same volume through the mixer. The only way you couldn't is if he's clipping hugely which would make you sound better than him. You will be able to reach 0db on the mixer.

I guarantee you this equipament will will be a Fiasco ! this problem is a worst thing to be happening with a pro control, and this is happening, okay it will be a toy, but for pros, it will be a total fiasco !

Im talking about people who will import this equiapament in Brasil and they are very worry about this, and thinking about in not do the imports because this product already bad talked in other countrys, because of this problem with output lower

[disco420]

I eeven talked with Lopazz on facebook right now and he says to me that novation told to him that the final product is will be much louder that your pre releases product, but this is not happening the final product have the problem that he warned to novation.

You must check the discussion in Serato Forum on the section Novation Twitch on the forum, and you will be a solid discussion about this poblem, include the Novation/Serato explain about that..

[MrPopinjay]

You guarantee? Are there more issues than just the output level?

[disco420]

JUST the output level ????

Man this is terrible, is much lower of even all other pro controllers on the market

[MrPopinjay]

But what actual effect does this have on how you use it? I'm not seeing the issue here. You're going to be routing it into a mixer in a club situation and then you just turn up the gain a touch as you do with a quiet track or whatever.

You could mix back to back with someone using CDJ1000s and there would be no change in volume at all throughout the set if you manage your levels correctly, which you should as a DJ.
