…I like the idea of having a 3rd deck, but in reality would prob use it pretty infrequently- the rare occasion you need to cue a super-fast mix or the odd overdub/acapella. As G said, it was handy to have in Traktor but for me it’s no dealbreaker.
This is a typical (in terms of recent releases) Pio update. Marginal improvements for premium dollar. The XDJ-RX was their biggest seller, so they are prob banking on devotees upgrading without needing to learn a new workflow or drastically new/different features. The mixer section still looks like a toy to me, but its whatever you get used to I guess, I’ve seen people do quality mixes on streams with them…
