- What is so special that you like most and least?</span>

What I like most: the quality / price stability and sound quality
What I like least: the non-iTunes compatibility ... apparently it's being developed

<p class="bbcode-cite"> Quote: <span>- Have you tried many other models before buying it?</span>

Yes Final Scratch and Serato Scratch Live 2: no relationship in terms of sound quality and latency ...

<p class="bbcode-cite"> Quote: <span>- How would you rate the quality / price?</span>

Quality / price! I saw an ad on the DVS package + sound card to € 339 ...

<p class="bbcode-cite"> Quote: <span>- With experience, you do again this choice? ...</span>

Yes definitely

MP3 Mixer with the touch of vinyl ... use: mix and scratch

config: AMD Turion 1.6 Ghz + 1GB DDRAM + Sound Card Presonus Firebox + Mixer + Numark DMX DD60go 300 + MKII 1210SLx2

Used latency = 5ms

=> It works with the fire of God ..!

GETTING STARTED

Installation in 5 minutes chrono in hand ...

Connection: a little logic, damn it!

Configuration: easy, but a few tips gleaned from the MixVibes forum to perfect all that ...

Manual: see online ...

SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE

Simply stunning ... Your MP3, you'd swear it is engraved on the vinyl you tripottes! It is a delight to use ...

On my config, no worries, it turns

Performances: Hard to compare, I've never used final scratch or serato ... but considering the price and sound cards branquignol they provide and the price they sell their crap, they should go into hiding at the bottom of a terrier types ...

It is super stable ... I have yet to crash once!

OVERALL OPINION

I recently (1 week) ... and I always come back not so much that Ramon!

Good points: bin a little while, actually.
Bad point: as far as I've tested, it is better to use Y-cables that pass through the bypass to play real vinyl (although I was not poking around in the configuration of the filter of my presonus RIAA, so if it is the bypass-emulation software runs well, if configured properly)

Value / Price: hang you to find better ...

If I do it again this choice? Eyes closed ... even discovered on my bank account, I will attempt the coup, bank charges or not ...

<p class="bbcode-cite"> Quote: <span>What technical specifications motivated your choice?</span>
I chose Mixvibes:
- Drisoire deal for its price its competitors;
- Because I had a dj sound card: Edirol FA-101

<p class="bbcode-cite"> Quote: <span>For what purpose?</span>
To mix my mp3s (Electro Style) with my turntables and never to break my back with tanks that weigh a ton vinyl records and get damaged each set.

None.

<p class="bbcode-cite"> Quote: <span>gnrale configuration is easy?</span>
I would not say it is facile.Avec the standard config, may turn but if you want something really stable, will have to put a little hands dirty: Last day + config of the OS. .

In the DVS Pack bote, there is only a double sheet with the main things to know.

<p class="bbcode-cite"> Quote: <span>The software works he correctly on this configuration?</span>
Now (and I prcise well now) has nikel works.
But t was not always the case ...
I had a lot of trouble to beginners; instabilitmanque of precision, etc ...
So, for almost a year j'tais returned to good old vinyl records that do not default (except biensr rays). Mixvibes slept in a closet
One day I fight it and DCID j'tais rsolu make it work properly; to irritate me to see so many users (with config may be less sturdy than mine .. .) use it without soucis.J 'So I reformat my PC and I made a config only music (cd, which does not connect at all with Internet and all other unnecessary Windows services and are of disables) and more pbs: I can play Dornava 4-5 hours without any bugs.
I admit that I really Forum Mixvibes aid correct any a.

<p class="bbcode-cite"> Quote: <span>What performance? (If quantifiable)</span>
When it works ... it's perfect for what we ask everyone: from stability.

OVERALL OPINION

<p class="bbcode-cite"> Quote: <span>How long have you use it?</span>
I've had a little over 2 years but I use very bottom for 1 year.

<p class="bbcode-cite"> Quote: <span>What is the particular feature you like best and least?</span>
Most:
- Works with all sound cards! I think it's the only one who does not have its own case;
- The sound quality: with the FA-101, I can get up to 96Khz;
- Its low latency: always with the same card, I 3ms latency down (I have not tried lower);
- Its stability (now he walks nikel);
- The functions of closure;
- The effects incorporated;
- The SHIFT free.

The -:
- Configuring keyboard shortcuts trs fastidieuse.Je hair with tears me yet ... but the forum is for us the slip a hand.

<p class="bbcode-cite"> Quote: <span>Have you tried many other models before acqurir?</span>
Yes: Serato (Whereas I like the best before my Mixvibes resurrected) and Final Scratch (Bof. ..)

<p class="bbcode-cite"> Quote: <span>How do you report qualitprix?</span>
Unbeatable and is the best qualitprix the market and certainly one of the best DJ software.

<p class="bbcode-cite"> Quote: <span>With the exprience, you do again this choice? ...</span>
I almost break down and sell it to buy the Serato Scratch Live (Rane) but now that turbine is YES without hsiter ...
I also pay the Pro version not long ago.

Motivation: I wanted to go into Disk for a matter of convenience and money.

What use: Mix techno electro gabber on turntables Technics SL-1210M3D, Table Numark DXM06 HP Basic computer and 3 years of age, all connected with the material that comes in the pack.

GETTING STARTED

Easy installation, yet it is almost mandatory to go to the forum to be able to resolve the mixvibes software properly and not to bother because the manual is minimal, basically just how to connect and follow the on screen innstruction but no explanation on the interface NOHD go to the forum. Me, I wrote 2 times on the forum for 2 issues, I had the answer within 24 hours. It is created by French Mixvibes!

SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE

My computer is really light, with a pack is only 600 euro + tour HP Desktop.
Performance, zero latency if all my programs closed his. This does not jump to the loading music since I found out how to settle it. Utilistation super intuitive, easy to understand.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 3 months. I tried before and during the Super experienced software Serato. Frankly I mix in 11 years, I test two in software stability to mix simple, personally I prefer mixvibes for its skin and its interface and utilistation super intuitive. The performances are the same, the only difference partly explains the very large price difference is the sound card with that of mixvibes in the pack at 99 euros intend to go over a wall plug "lol" but for the mix at home is perfect. Mixvibes and also offers more upscale package with very good sound card, but the price s approach a serato.

I hesitated because not much return on Mixvibes, ca 99 euro raises questions and I had not really let go for 500 euros a Serato and well today if I had money, I re-invested in Mixvibes for a more complete version with better sound card.

Specifications motivating: No sound card owner. Flexible. Low resource utilization. One of the most technically advanced.

What tools or systems: Reloop RP-6000 MK6 b Reloop RMX 30 BPM Blackfire, various m-audio controllers, kenton freak, Doepfer, behringer.

Connectivity: ESP1010e Jack - RCA.

Usage: Home Mix

Setup: D960 (2 * 3.6GHz) / 2GB Ram / HDD 7200T/Min

GETTING STARTED

Installation: No problem.

Configuration: Correct, but can be complicated for a beginner.

Incompatibilities: I tried it with: @ ESI Julia MAYA44 PCI, USB Maya 44, ESP1010, no problems until we come up to 192Khz.

Manual: Very correct for a beginner. Unsatisfactory for a confirmed especially for MIDI and skinheads.

SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE

Setup: D960 (2 * 3.6GHz) / 2GB Ram / HDD 7200T/Min / ESP1010e
He works well on this setup: Yes
This hardware + software stable is: Yes, but need to know some tips and tricks computer.

OVERALL OPINION

How long: 5 years
Other models: None

Pros: Super flexible, super powerful, one of the most advanced and oldest.

Cons: Non ends (Bugs), but it takes time to develop such a beast. Not suitable for computer beginners (although this is improving, but it's not like a turnkey we pay a lot more expensive with fewer features).

Q / P: Unstoppable
You do again this choice: Without hesitation

* What characteristics have motivated you to choose?
- The price and the use of timecode.
* For what purpose?
- Working with Timecode

* What is your config (Motherboard / CPU / Ram / Disk ,...)?
- Mu.P: Intel Core i3. 3GB RAM, 160GB disk, Win7 (Toshiba Satellite)

2x Numark TT 1650

GETTING STARTED

* The installation is done it without problems?
- Typical installation of Windows software, no problems so far, and I mean now.


* Have you experienced any incompatibilities?
- I never got it to run on PCs with AMD ...

* The general configuration is easy?
- Horrible, I put more than a month before you get to do any "work".

* The manual is clear and sufficient?
- Manual? They do not put it back the same! He explains that he just have to click next, next, next, finish. After that, the software is installed, and we cope! You end up with a whole slew of features not even explained in the manual!

SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE

* What is the configuration of your computer? (Motherboard / CPU / Ram / Disk / sound card ..)
- Mu.P: Intel Core i3. 3GB RAM, 160GB disk, Win7 (Toshiba Satellite)

* The software runs he correctly on this configuration?
- No. It crashes after an hour, the songs are still occasionally shift, U-MIX switch themselves off (when it disconnects a USB device in windows) and restart mixvibes's (not very practical in the evening necessarily ...), scratcher is not even worth thinking about, it looks like the read head flies off the deck so it does not move, and therefore we are never the same place 2 times in the song ...

OVERALL OPINION

* For how long have you been using it?
- 1 year. And 1 year too ...

* What thing do you like most/least about it?
- The most: the ability to mix 1h without much problem may be? That's all I found "good "....

* Did you try many other models before getting this one?
No. First time I used a system Timecode (it was nearly the last one ...)

* What is your opinion about the value for the price?
- For this price, do not expect anything serious ...
If it works, then you're lucky, but I had a lot of outside opinions that agree with me.
Mixvibes: That's good to start. Point


* Knowing what you know now, would you make the same choice? ...
- Oh no! I am also committed to eventually control the Serato, we'll see what happens!

* Overall Opinion:
- Mixvibes Really disappointed, I expected better.
A manual unnecessary. Their forum, talking about: here vosu're supposed to go if you have any difficulties or other configuration. If only they were at least friendly (something they apparently do not know), they prefer you to understand indirectly that you do not use a PC.
My problems have never, ever were resolved in their forum.

Then, if you have the crazy plan to use in the evening anyway: take you an extra CD, or better, a CD player!
It is through experience that I said that.

Another amusing anecdote: I tested the Timecode and U-MIX44 with the free version of Virtual DJ (in this version, we can test the function timecode 10 minutes). Well I almost bought the pro version of VDJ so it is stable and efficient ...

Also, a detail important enough: Mixvibes do not know the playlist files. M3u external ...
For software that calls itself pro ... It touches the bottom.
You must make your playlist mixvibes IN (already not ergonomic), and you can only use one at a time. I mean, you do not have a list with your playlist that you've carefully created for such and such a kind, for example. You owe it to each import, import ... Very heavy, very long, so useless in the evening ...

* What characteristics have motivated your choice? "Product purchased to scratch Accapellas of artists with whom I work without having to press a vinyl every time.

For what purpose? Scratch and mix

With which instruments or systems (console, preamp, DTD ...) and you use the connection with what? Stanton STR8100, Numark TT 1650 Numark DXM 06, sound card mix U 44 (sold with) and Alesis Multimix 8 (used here as an amp and not sound card), monitor KRK RP 6.

64.3 GB RAM Vista.

GETTING STARTED

The installation is done it without problems? Software installed without problems
The general configuration is easy? A trifle difficult but by following the manual to the letter it's OK
Have you experienced any incompatibilities? No
The manual is clear? More or moins.Il must read the instructions given by the different possible cases (with or not using a mixer, a midi controller, etc.).
I had a little trouble at first, ultimately it is my very simples.Tout connections are RCA.Il fau connect each turntable directly to the inputs of the soundcard U Mix 44 (left panel in input 1, platinum right input 2) and then connecting the outputs of the soundcard U Mix 44 to inputs of your mixer as if you plug the decks above (1 = Output stage left, stage right = output 2). FINALLY connect the outputs your mixer (master) to your sound system (speaker, monitors, amplifiers ...)

SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE

I was amazed at the reliability of the beast, at first I had some concerns "jump", etc. latency.
The problem from my 3 go to compensate rams.Pour I just quit all other open applications and turn off my wireless card and then everything is running at background, you can scratch like a patient on it without any problems.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 1 week for 2 hours / days.
# What thing do you like most/least about it?
The best: unbeatable value for money, bought 100 th in Sonovent and product reliability.
The least: Can be difficult to install small but again, just read the booklet
# Did you try many other models before getting this one?
the timecode at Virtual DJ.J 've stopped after one week as the product does not appeal to me
# What is your opinion about the value for the price?
Excellent, the best market
# Knowing what you know now, would you make the same choice? ...
Eyes closed! Feel more friends if you do not feel like you are in ruins Serato or Final Scratch, MixVibes is really for you.
