Along_the_Wire I’m really interested to see if the XDJ-XZ2 goes four channel all-in one with the USB sticks.
I don’t DJ in that manner (I just find it nice that Sophie can DJ on her vinyl on channel inputs 3 and 4, and we have used ethernet link to add 2 CDJs at an event before which was good). But, my money is on that they won’t go all out 4 channel, in order to avoid losing customers at the professional end who were going to buy 4 separate CDJs and a Mixer.
There’s no arguing that CPU could definitely handle 4 deck / one screen mixing whereas the XZ’s CPU and screen arguably couldn’t handle that without a Rekordbox laptop doing the hard work - so if they don’t do it on the next generation, it’s genuinely because of the paragraph above.
