Hi. Don’t want to jack this thread but this thread seems appropriate to what I want to ask, so won’t start another.
I’m running t scratch pro 2 with an audio 8 and x1 with a xone 22 and 1210s. I fancy swapping out the xone 22 with a controller with stand alone mixer capability. When I play out I just use the sound card with x1 and house mixer. But at the mo feel like just using a controller with jogs to.
It’s got to be small and when using the standalone mixer have a nice feel to it. Got to be 4channels. I’m stuck between a vci400 and the denon mc6000. I’ve not seen either in the flesh.
Which has a more pro mixer feel to it? And which has better eq pots? And decent control on the pots? Some mixers ramp up the sound quickly (numark) which I find annoying. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I have the N4. It’s pretty good for the price (I paid $400). If you’re an effects junkie it may not be for you since it doesn’t have any standalone effects for your analog sources. You’ll also have to upgrade the software since it comes with Serato Intro and VDJ LE. I like how it mixes seemlessly between sources as I use both vinyl (straight vinyl not control vinyl) and digital. The N4 is also fairly wide making it difficult with tighter set ups.
My comments were for the OP. I don’t think the N4 is what you’re looking for. It’s quite large really and it’s a mid level Numark controller which doesn’t seem to interest you given your comments.
Since the latest firmware update (V1.012) the MC6000 routes the audio into the dj software pre-fader instead of post fader, so you can now use it to control 2 timecode decks. Run the turntables into channels 1/4, and then use channels 2/3 to control the decks in the dj software.
