So I just took possession of my new Rane MP-2015. I've only had about 30 minutes to play on it thus far, so I'll share my initial thoughts.
First off, build and fit and finish: Amazing. It has that Retro look, similar to the Rane MP-2016, the wood panels in person look fantastic. The knobs and switches are all high quality. The pots are a little looser than you might expect, but they are high quality (most of them are metal stemmed pots).
Hooking it up was easy peasy. I plugged my CDJ-2000's in via SPDIF, and my 1200's into the phono inputs. It all just worked (obviously).
Getting it to work in Traktor was very simple, no drivers or anything are needed (I use a Macbook Pro). I just selected the input channels and could play in internal mode (controlled via HID and an X1). Of course, timecode/scratch control is not yet enabled for this mixer just yet, so it's disabled.
Holy headroom! You can really crank this mixer. It's kind of insane. Even the gains, I only have them on about 2 with the SPDIF inputs to play at 0Db.
The filters sound amazing. Adjustable resonance is amazing. The isolator is fantastic.
Everything is simply laid out and very easy to figure out.
This is the real deal!
