Just got the Link function to work between my laptop and XZ - opens up decks 3 & 4 too, which is near useless to me at present, but am absolutely delighted to have it in my locker.

Link was pretty straightforward in the end, you have to have Rekordbox closed on your laptop and wait until the XZ has completely started before opening it again. Took me fucking ages to work that out.

Probably your age Grant. Maybe take it to the Library next time, see if they have any classes for it 🙂

As an aside, do you use the Rekordbox subscription thingy? Fancying the vocal detection but the Android app is shit.

However, will be going all in on the eye phone March / April as daughter will soon be of phone age.

If it’s any cop might buy now for vocal detection. I’d want both vocal detection and be able to edit on the go for my $

Mad_Cyril it was good, but I just didn’t really use it after a week or two when the novelty wore off - carried on with the subscription for three or four months and then cancelled. Not missed it. Don’t use vocal detection.

Got the iPhone 12 Pro and it’s very difficult to spot anything different to the 10 apart from the shape and 5G.

Interesting. You not use it to go through your tunes on the go? Doing so on a laptop feels time consuming against family time. Have a 10 year old so was hoping would give me more flex.

Also play a lot of house so more vocal heavy. Like the idea of being able to see when vocals drop - but will experiment with waveform types and see what that offers.

Prefer Samsung phones if I’m honest but when daughter gets one will likely be that basic eye phone or the touch. Would be easier and likely safer if all on the same platform.

I use the original Rekordbox app for that, but to be honest, when I’m out and about, I mainly listen to mixes.

Fair do’s on the vocal shizzle

Sold the RX2 for £1,280 on eBay. Which was nice.

Homegrove

Along_the_Wire fuck me that’s a great price for it.

seanc80

Along_the_Wire Im going to do the same and buy XZ. How are you finding the XZ by the way mate?

Along_the_Wire

It’s mad how they’ve held their value especially with the XZ in market. It’s in mint condition mind

Unbroken1

…nice, what you buying with that? (that’s how I justify upgrades 😆 )

Just seen XDJ1000 mk2’s are selling for £1500 2nd hand… pretty sure that’s what I paid for them. How much are CDJ3000’s again? 😉

I used the sale of it to justify the XZ to the missus, so that’s the end of that!

Unbroken1

…I know, but you said you only got £600 for it? 😉

Is this where you start posting pervy pics of rotary mixers again Damo?

Unbroken1

…let’s just say, there’s been severe lack of pics in this thread of late 😉

Along_the_Wire

seanc80 I love it. The jog wheels are the biggest difference for me, I know it might sound wank, but they just feel better. There’s more than I need on there too, which is always nice to have in any situation. And it looks great.

It’s a lot bigger, which I guess is an issue for some, but otherwise, why would you not spend the extra £300 for the XZ now that both are available?

seanc80

Along_the_Wire yea the jogs are too light on the RX2. Deffo worth upgrading for that alone

Unbroken1

…we need pics G!

Along_the_Wire

Unbroken1

…nice slippers

Unbroken1

…hard to gauge the size from the pic, doesn’t look that big there but suspect it’s substantial in the flesh

Along_the_Wire

Unbroken1 it feels a lot bigger than the RX2. I don’t really have any other reference point. I fucking love it either way!
