Hey folks, as some of you may have noticed I disappeared for a while; basically I had some relationship issues with my ex and didn’t really feel like doing… well, anything lol. So unfortunately I’ve been neglecting everyone with regards to cables and mapping inquires.
With that said, however, I’m more or less back and ready to go on all fronts I’ll be answering your PMs and e-mails over the next few days, but thought I’d leave you with this as a taster of things to come:
omg… so sexy. I love this controller so much. The platter and buttons feel so nice. I just refuse to pay 190 for a controllerr edition when I paid the same amount for an interface edition.
I was thinking of adding an Akai LPD8 for instant grat fx, but with your new mapping, I might not have to. I rarely ever touch the FX knobs during my mixes.
Tbh it was a no-brainer for me; I use the jogs for the same reason you do and not much else, and the only controller which even came close to the Contours in terms of feel was the Jockey 3, which is basically the same as having a pair of Contours. I did experiment with some X1s but they just weren’t in the same league, and moving to 4 decks was the next step for me, so 4 Contours it is!
Saving up for an RMX-80 at the moment, starting a new 3-night residency later this month so that should help nicely lol.
Definitely a vote for the Zomo here, although I don’t use mine much these days unfortunately
The RMX-80’s main appeal, for me anyway, is the incredible HPF/LPF filters and the adjustable upfader curves. Plus it uses the sickeningly smooth channel faders from the TM2/TM4, which really are in a league of their own. As far as pure MIXERS go (ignoring pointless mixer FX and things like USB audio etc), it’s very difficult to beat.
