I have been using digital controllers now for @ 4 years, and I have made plenty of money with the controller I have now! I have been spending money on everything around my set except my controller. I guess I am just a little turned off to the fact that an expensive controller (which is usually the first thing that young DJ's buy) does not make you a successful dj. In fact I see that most beginners spend way too much on their controllers IMO. It's kind of like golf clubs (guys with 2,000.00 PINGS shooting 140),,,, you look like a great golfer until you show the score!
So I will tell you that I have got my money's worth many times over out of my basic controller (NUMARK MIXTRACK PRO 2 and Serato Lite).
The reason for the upgrade is Sound Quality! As a professional DJ whose clientele has been high school and 8th grade proms and H.C.'s , I don't do much more than queuing and syncing, with the aid of a visual GUI (Serato) . I have to step up to better than low level RCA inputs with a better audio section, better D/A converter, more inputs, XLR output,,,,,and so on.
So I first have a price point! @1k will get all of the things that I am looking for!
my first choice ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,Pioneer DDJ-SX3! I will be upgrading to Serato with the supporting SX3 software.
Reasons for Pioneer,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, I think it is the most popular, I like the layout, interchangeable Slide PAD, great specs, easy to purchase!
So my question is?????????????????????????? Is there any other piece that I should look at in this price range?
