I like it.
 
I've only had one issue with the American Audio mixer I've bought - a solder joint broke off the circuit board.

Havn't seen this one before - looks interesting.
 
It looks solid!
Hope they have build it solid too.
I'm looking forward with this controller and hopefully with VDJ on board.
 
looks nice!! i may have to try this out? is it out yet?

First thing i noticed too!!!

It's not rackmount though is it?
 
Saw it on youtube looks cool. Mouse like the xponent and needle drop like the ns7. Nice. Would be even better if it worked like the RMX as far as an audio interface.

Please explain??? thought it did everything like for like and more
 
One feature no one is mentioning yet ........


Full analogue mixer operation if computer crashes..

First one to do that - seems like a no-brainer but no-one else does it.

Yeah and that will make this mor attractive!! i am liking this more and more!! any word on price!! i am guessing some where near $800 US!!
but you never know mabe more!!
 
This controller is $ 699 US You can use this as a mixer without hooking it up to your computer. It has a strong premium fader with curve control, Touch sensitive scratch wheels and a Special version of tracktor. It has a Mouse pad andTouch strips for needle dropping. You can also change the Fader.
 
OK.... now here is the deal breaker? will it be compatiable with VDJ? FULLY compatiable!!
 
The representative for American Audio said.... It can be used with any popular dj tittle. Its fully midi mappable. The controller will be available very soon.
 
In as much as this a new entry in the dj market, it's only a question of time until this controller will be fully supported with VDJ.
At any rate, NI did their homework already, too quick and impressive.

Then OH YES IT WILL BE MINE....IT WILL BE MINE!!! Mwhahaha



BTW everyone who watched the vid did you all hear that version of tractor will allow you to simulate 4 decks!! or poss 2 CD / TT and 2 virtual decks!!! Think of the posibilities!!! I hope VDJ will do the same for this controller!!!
 
It has everything that everyone else should have had years ago. Analog mixing way better and less cpu intensive. I like it.

I've alway banged on about been under speced, yes you can get round it by taking loads of rack gear with you were ever you go but i was always pissed off with the manufactures holding back on us when it would of been possible to do all this years ago. Well they milked us with all there crap didn't they!

Pioneer are the biggest joke for me, when the DJM800 came out I just couldn't get my head around the fact that it didn't have a sound card! still can't!!!
