The VCI-100 is slightely above my budget ! Do you know how much the U-Mix Control Pro will cost Jiel. I liked the video, the product looks nice all in all. Have you tried it ? Is it a good product ?

hi charlybirdy,

no I wasn't @ NAMM so I didn't try the controller, that's why i said "looks good"

I'm waiting for a full review of this new controller on djtechtools

VCI-100 is in the 400$ range. But you might also want a sound card. Extra 100$ minimum.

dude if i were you I'd just save up for a VCI-100 SE, it's worth it, you don't wanna spend 350-400 on something thats gonna crap out on you... the only controller that has been proven to be reliable is the VCI-100. Not to mention it has a giant community of users.

Hi thanks to all of you for the info, have had to take some time to do some research on the internet to see what controller fits my neads. And here are the facts:

Facts:

VCI-100
It really sounds like a great controller. If i am correct i have read that they have stopped the production of the VCI-100, i think i will forget about that controller.

VCI-300
The VCI-300 looks great but is way over my budget!

Mixvibes U-Mix Controle Pro
The Mixvibes controller seams really great, have been reading a lot about it. And it sounds really like a great small but very efficient controller. Somehow i think it will really fit my needs. Even scratchworks editors like the controller!

It also appears from what i have been reading, that mixvibes products are really well built.

Do you think i am doing the right choise?

Thanks guys.

I work with Traktor, a Hercules DJ Control MP3 e2 (less than 50€), a Korg NanoKontrol (35€) and a Korg NanoPad (35€).
The Hercules MP3 e2 is a very cheap controller but for beginning it works totally great. I´ve tested the controller on several house party´s.

Hi, the Hercules DJ Control MP3 e2 seems nice, the korg nanopad and nano Kontrol also. But somehow i am more looking into an all in one unit (dj controller, sound card...). Thanks a lot for the info!

VCI-100
It really sounds like a great controller. If i am correct i have read that they have stopped the production of the VCI-100, i think i will forget about that controller.

^^They have stopped production, but dude, this community is made up mostly of people that use and stand by this controller. Aside from the S4, it's the best DJ controller on the market right now. It's built to last and has GREAT mappings and support provided by this site. I really think this is the best decision for you man...Granted I haven't had any hands-on experience with that mixvibes controller, but from that video it looks like crappy quality to me. A piece of Dj gear is an investment, and you want something that will last.

Just my 2 cents.
