    - How long have you use it?

    Since one week intensive

    - What is so special that you like best?

    The Scratch, The Cross, The accuracy of Jog, a compact but not too compact nor well studied in the locations of knobs, jog etc, Serato software, sound card

    the least?

    Serato Bpm for calculating so-so I expected a lot better now but it's really the only downside of this software I have a lot of shifting tempo but apparently I'm not the only, 3 / 4 effect in serato would have been welcome too but be a good bit SHIFT will be rectified!

    on the other hand I managed to connect the vci 300 with traktor and for calculating zero offset Bpm nickel.

    - Have you tried many other models before buying it?

    So I started with a DJ mix control, then I went on a Vestax Vci 100 (nothing to do really much better now zero crash, the scratch is really the jog EXCELLENT nothing to say compared to 100)

    and I just left my pair of CDJ800 Mk2 with Mixer Vestax really no regrets! very very happy! I even save space crashes with the mk2 at the reading of mp3 I buy cdj 800 for scratch and mix the vci 300 is infact the Jog mieu is more pleasant even if it is smaller than the 800.

    - How would you rate the quality / price?

    It's a really good final product and not succeed as the experience I had with the Vci 100 at the responsiveness of jog.

    - With experience, you do again this choice? ...

    Without hesitation, yes!

    I put 9 / 10 because the software Serato has some way to go in terms of BPM, and effects.

    Little refresh after 4 / 5 months of use.

    After about 15 uses live, the software is stable, no bug (if you do not leave the PC running for 10 of course!).
    For cons, the hardware level: big disappointment! I've had three concerns: first case of adjusting the sensitivity of the pads (small screw near the master output), then left the pitch that no longer met (a Vestax back home to me have changed much gratos course) and finally I have the right jog wheel that starts to have the game and bugger. All in one month and a half, I start to change opinions on the Vestax and ask me if I have here a real product pro or a toy for budding dj (toy over 650 € all in same!). To be continued ...

    1 month of intensive use.
    After long hesitation I chose this area to mix mp3 files hip hop / electro / d & b without having to walk with two turntables + vinyl records.

    The pros: the accuracy of jogs! It can speed up or slow down the piece with small buttons on the side of jogs as accurately as vinyl records. Scratch side, there is (almost) in a real vinyl, even if it is true that it takes an adjustment period to get used to the touch, the crossfader cut terribly well. The table is really nice, big, strong, sturdy knobs are ... really no complaints about the finish is the Vestax! Finally, the Serato software is basic but well done: I love the eye that can see the scroll piece, the timing is perfect.

    The -: software dire effects on each track and no way to insert the table operates as its own sound card! A small delay, reverb, flanger ... would have been welcome. Hopefully the next version of Itch bring its share of new effects and I could put a 10/10.

    I tried before the vci 100 which works fine but lacks precision and, above all ... too small!

    Sure, it's not cheap: I bought 660 euros after trading in the store but now I mix mp3 tool I was looking for a long time. Also do not forget that any money you have a table Vestax mix (with a great cross for that matter) + sound card + software mix.
    To summarize, the best tool for virtual mix that I used.

    I use it for more than a year after I did the hand on the VCI-100.

    The fact that the VCI-300 is fully dedicated to Itch: no more sleepless nights mapping!
    Touch is exceptional, latency 0: Awesome! (Since I have a Macbook pro), (with my old PC I could not imagine connecting the VFX, or record! Too many bugs)
    Practical compact and coupled to the VFX-1 I have everything I need!
    It is a beautiful machine which I never get tired! (Even Itch 2.0!)

    The only downside if you wander around it is quite sensitive and I have to regularly adjust the sensitivity!

    It is expensive but the rewards are worth it!

    I would definitely do it again this election!

    I use it for a year and a half.

    I have a Behringer BCD3000 before and I tested a Hercules (the difference is obvious, it is more of a toy!)

    Assets:
    -Very easy to handle.
    Jog-touch adjustable (precise)
    Excellent sound quality (even with mp3)
    -Very strong, perfect finish!
    -Combined with the VFX-1 it is very complete.

    The least (because it must be one):
    Crossfader-a bit fragile for stractcheurs crazy!

    The price / quality ratio is excellent, even if it is a bit expensive to buy you will not regret!

    I Refer this choice with his eyes closed while the Controller Allen & Heath looks really pretty!

    Hello

    VCI 700 is simply the best controller at the moment ... NS-7 before NUMARK
    but it is more in the same price range

    with several nightclubs, I equipped all my points with VCI 300

    advantage: SERATO simply no latency

    the controller in turn is solid, reliable, while the crossfader is changed regularly (regular hip hop night, with many DJs familiar with solid tables ECLER ...)

    Otherwise no complaints, everything holds up, the solid, reliable and

    level design, the machine is simple and makes pro, after various tests in total control, and OMNI CONTROL (also very good in their price range) DJs prefer the interface SERATO, unavoidable

    in a bar atmosphere electric, the cross fader to view more than 9 months of intensive use in intensive solid! all parts are interchangeable via VESTAX, so no worries for the pros hip hop, provide a set of cross fader per season, nothing really bad (a table VESTAX quality consumes just less ...)
    go, a 9 / 10 because perfection is made to never be reached!

    I use it for over a year now.

    The pros:
    + Connection and installation in 10 minutes
    + Getting Started immediate, easy to mix
    + Jogs most accurate
    + Onboard sound
    + Mobility incredible (just as your buddy has an Internet connection, simply get an external hard drive with your MP3, download the app on serato and presto, here we go!)

    One month of intensive use.
    After hesitating a lot, I chose this control surface to mix my hip hop/electro/d&b MP3 files without having to carry around two turntables and my vinyl records.

    Pros: jog wheel precision! You can pitch the speed of any track by slightly tapping the sides of the jog wheels, and the results are as good as with vinyl. Scratching feels almost the same as with a real vinyl record, although, it's true, you need some time to get used to it. The crossfader is terribly good. The mixer is really sexy.

It's big, solid and the pots are not cheap... nothing to complain about, it's a Vestax! The Serato software is somewhat basic but good: I love the graphic interface which allows you to see track scrolling, making it perfect for track matching.

    Cons: the software has no effects for individual tracks and you can't even insert effects since the mixer works with its own sound card! Some delay, reverb, flanger effects would be much appreciated. I hope the next version does include some new effects so I can rate it 10/10.

    I also tried the VCI100 which works very well but doesn't have enough precision and is too small!

    I know it's not cheap, I bought it for 660 euros after bargaining at the store, but now I have the MP3 mixing tool I had always been looking for. Nevertheless, don't forget that you get a Vestax mixer (with a very good croosfader) + a sound card + a mixing software, all for the same price.
    To wrap it up, this is the best virtual mixing tool I've ever used.
