Ok, so I'm playing in clubs and 9 times out of 10 the mixer has a shit crossfader or a fader that doesn't even work. This leaves no scope for me to properly scratch or show off considering they don't even have proper TT's, only CDJ's. I'm thinking it's time I get involved with this VCI lark after seeing you can scratch on them.
Before I invest and end up being disappointed, how close to scratching with vinyl is the VCI? What is better/more responsive to scratch with out of a CDJ 1000 or a VCI? The CDJ's I think are ok but aren't the greatest, you can scratch but you can't get right in there like with the control vinyl. Bigger hand movements are required in my opinion. How is it with the VCI? Can you really get in there with the smaller scratches?
What about the TT's break speed, can that be adjusted like on a CDJ? I want to be able to mimmic the switching off and slowing down of a real TT.
Basically I want something that best suited to battle DJ's and Turntablism. Is the VCI the best to go for or is there something else on the market to go for?
Any help greatly appreciated
