Is it just me or would this not be a sick setup?!
I have upgraded to a VCI-100 recently and whilst choosing between the NI Audio 4 DJ & Audio Kontrol 1 to complement my setup, a recent price reduction on VCMs in the UK (from £345 -> 199 @ HTFR) has grabbed my attention. I have been craving for more direct controls lately (more buttons, less modifiers ), and for the combined price with the VCI-100, £535, there are no 4 deck controllers (w/wo soundcard) on the market at this price range.
Whilst it is by no means an A&H Xone 4D (drool) in terms of no. of functions or sound quality, it would still be a contender because of the price (1/3!). The build quality on the VCI is superb, and if you own a silver VCI, the VCM will fit right into your setup. What really gets me excited about this idea is the potential when modding comes into the picture (imagine 4 deck juggling with arcade buttons! ). An upgrade in sound quality is desired, but not mandatory as I am not doing gigs.
What do you think? Worth buying instead of an Audio 4 or Audio Kontrol? Do you foresee any problems in setting these two controllers up?
