Super great looking controller! Pioneer does it again! John I know you don't really like the all in one thing but don't knock it till you try it. You can use your current setup as backup. Trust me I never thought I would ever be using a computer to DJ with. Once I tried it I liked it and now I love it. What do you use now for backup in case something happens to your setup you use?
Yeah I know eventually Im going to bite the bullet and buy one. I can't really knock it, it's a damn good looking deck.
For back up I bring 2 computers. If one turntable should go down, I can use instant doubles in serato to get me through the night. If my mixer dies, I carry a little 4 channel mic mixer in my gear tub. I bring 2 amps to each event also.
If Rane made something like this I would jump all over it. Their mixers are bullet proof. Pio mixers give some kind of trouble down the line. Bad faders, blown mic channels and static in the faders. Not all but some. Pio mixers in my opinion are way over priced. But this controller is super nice.
