OVERALL OPINION

- What technical specifications motivated your choice?
APRS saying the Coubes Tags Wav and PC, the music playback from an external hard drive is fast trs. According to the encoding of music, the load time ranges from 0 (192kb / s) 2 seconds (320kb / s).
Ormis that the BCAN works well, a multitude of effects is paramtrables intgre: scratch with sensitive wheel, Filter, Flanger, Echo, Delay, Decimator (saturation that I use rarely) Vocoder, Vibrato, Phaser, Trance, Autopan, Brake, Chorus.
What can you ask for more?
It may require five USB ports including one in faade, or by track costs: a master tempo performance up to + - 25%, 4 samples, 4 perfect loops, 4 hot cue, all the information on Chunk (curve wav, title, author, managing live effects, etc.) displayed on the LCD screen of sufficient size (7.5cm/5cm).
I note that the edition of the curve must be wav on a PC or Mac for one simple reason: the construction time of the curve on pc is about 5 seconds, this time is from dcupl HDC3000.
Also, the firmware is updated rgulirement and makes significant changes (pitch up to 100% for example).

The only BMOL would perhaps be the touch wheel on the small side, but you soon get used (shock Vinyl> HDC3000 can be tough though). CONTRL and the pitch is much harder than other decks, because its size is 7cm ... That is to say, and +3.5 cm-3.5cm, not empty at beginners of matriser and to vary its pitch prcisment steps of 0.05%! In Ralite it is better to put in 4 or 8% that has become Grable, and, if 8% o sufit do not spend 16% being careful what you do.

Résumé in this powerful machine is designed for DJs who are tired of lugging tons of vinyl, even hundreds of CD racks, and are seeking an ergonomics professional. With each update, the amliorations level effects are significant, for example, which makes it more attractive HDC3000! And what a pleasure to see her evolve hardware "alone".

Strengths: capacity standard connection, internal software trs resulted, playlist management, research trs intuitive pieces (by artist, title, BPM, genre ...) and I find a really convenient possibility of stalling its cue points in the FBP on the curve Wav! Thus, when both are at the same tempo music, trs seen visually or place his cue point (you can hear a small squence the headphone, you can see on the screen, if the cue is not where we dplace).

I used many of trs hardware, the HDC3000 is a large paved in a small pond.
During a night with several DJ, I came with my HDC3000 and a small external USB hard drive. The simultaneous gesion two pieces from a single support is effective trs, no slowdown or bug. If, like me, you have a musical style often close to the tempo (gnraliste / house / techno / trance), while the size of the pitch is not a problem since often enough + -4%. Grate and a master tempo 4% 7cm is fairly intuitive.

- Installation is it without problem?
Except for a tiny download and install the program on a PC or Mac and connecting 2 RCA and 1 Alim, simply connect a USB key, an iPod, an external USB drive (note: no connection PC-HDC, you must have an external media).
The manual is clear enough, and well translated, which is rare. Fortunately there are in French, because some functions (like delete or move from its samples Master Tempo pitch normal) are far from being easy to use.

- Have you experienced any incompatibility?
Yes, one of the only accepted format is mp3. I possdais of wma, wav or even, we must Tlcharger a free converter that can encode at least 192kb / s, so as not to lose audio quality in the extreme bass and treble .

Good stuff.
