Okay, first time poster - long time lurker… Anyway, I need you guy’s advice. I’m about to upgrade my gear from a Numark Total Control to something a little more high end and my budget is max 300€. I’ve been looking at the Dj-Tech I-Mix Reload Mk II since it seems to be the controller that gives you the most bang for your buck. On paper it has got everything I need and want from a controller, but as there’s basically no reviews or information about the overall build quality of this thing to be found online, I was wondering if any of you could recommend or advice against buying this control?
The High-Res metal jog wheels feel quite fine - they are the same as in the “DJ Tech Kontrol One”. The other controls are 7-bit Midi unfortunately and the pots are made of plastics. The Faders and Pots give a smooth feeling. Anyway - I’d choose a different product because the Buttons are hard to press. If you like this sturdy feeling this could be your new piece of hardware
What would you recommend in the same price class? I’ve looked at the hercules rmx as well, but I don’t like it’s lack of dedicated fx knobs and it’s jog wheels.
I would take a look at the new reloop mixage and an Audio 2 Card - Mixage has everything you will need for traktor and is cheaper than the DJ Tech + has 14 bit Midi Pitchfaders.
I hope the engineers replaced the Buttons because they got broken in the old model (Reloop Digital Jockey).
