IndustryStandard …spend a couple of hundred getting ’em properly serviced/rebuilt mate, way better (& cheaper) than the new ones IMO.

    Please do give a heads up here if you do a live vid mix. I don’t have Facebook or anything so I’m often out of the loop.

      I’m looking for a compact-ish dj controller which allows me to browse/open tunes and select/play cue points without touching the laptop.

      Any suggestions lads?

        S2 for a budget-version, XDJ R2 if you want to lose the laptop all together from the equation.

        I bought an ddj 200 for €150 to the door while I’m saving bigger stuff 2 weeks ago and it’s a great little thing for listening to tracks straight from my phone we had it out the back Sunday afternoon and it was grand, showed it to one of my mates and it was like I showed him fire for the first time

        Plus I want to move towards recordbox from tracktor

        mono-stereo Reloop Mixtour. You need to map it to Rekordbox, but don’t be put off by that, it’s a doddle - even Strudders could’ve done it. Probably. It’s PnP with iOS

            I’d pay damn good money to watch Damo modulate his flanger.

            Along_the_Wire ….afraid not, let mine go a while back when I moved-on from Traktor. Although hearing that you’ve had success using one with Rekordbox, I’d be tempted to get another for a laugh

              mono-stereo …not really better or worse mate, software is solid on both, I’d just had enough of staring at a laptop screen when I was mixing… (which is of course what you’d be doing if you used Rekordbox with a controller, but at least going that route gives you the flexibility to use a USB stick when you get on ‘proper’ decks)

                Nice one. I’m kind of already “in” the NI eco system so the NI Z1 traktor controller was appealing, until i watched a review saying you can’t fire off cue points or browse for tracks using it. Seems like a buzz kill having to move back to the laptop to do those things.

                So yeah, might buy this toy and give Rekordbox a whirl. 🍻

                …or just get the X1/Z1 combo? still not massively expensive and would feel less like starting again if you are broadly happy with using Traktor

                  Anyone recommend a good place (UK) to buy an ‘off the shelf’ PC? Other than PC world or the like? My work horse is over 15 years old and has recently started to make funny noises.
