Brichi, have you ever considered the Aero? I believe you can just load tracks from the RB collection on your laptop.

yes but some big things (again that I personally need)

1. 10,000 track limit on usb
2. only way to LINK rb to it is wirelessly, I dont trust it
3. No hot cues
4. only 1 memory point can be used on the Aero vs the 10 that RB allows for decks like the 900/2000

I dont think Pioneer will ever make a deck that is 100% perfect for every user, especially me. For me the ONLY deck that is perfect for what I like to do is the Denon 3900, I just had to many issues with Denon gear and i choose not to buy their stuff anymore

General questions from the peanut gallery.

Level of awesomeness 1-10?

Worth giving up the fight against RGAS?

[brichi]

LOL,,, so far I like the design, doing the FW update now and exporting tracks

seems not able to read my drive I exported for my CDJ2000 though, doing tests to see why and if you really have to choose this deck on export

hey mate - what's the build quality like compared to the S4? does it make s4 seem toyish?

I'd love to know what the VDJ skin/version is like? I would be getting this unit to wean myself back off software and back onto 'standalone' using either WAV filled CDs, or of course a rekordbox USB, but for those relapses during 'coming off software' it would be nice to see a screenshot of the R1s version of VDJ. One this I've never liked about it is its lack skin configuration. I'd be quite happy to have nothing but the browser visible and then use just the R1 and audio feedback to mix from, not looking at the screen again after loading a track for example!

And actually to supplement that question, if VDJ was to be used, it would be in external mixer mode which I understand is possible with this, so you can easily move between VDJ/software, CDs, and USB, just as you would with a 900/2000NXS setup! So any feedback on that aspect would be much appreciated also.
