Cf CHARACTERISTICS somewhere on the net.
Lgre but not too strong enough plutt: I have used for 5 months and a good time in 10aine average big night. I'm all about molo volume faders, they are well trs.
I mix of house, electro, hands up, UK hardcore ...
Design on the other hand blah enough.
Well I started mixing with my software, then I pass on turntables and Numark CD CDJ1000 and I came back to software + Controller with a MIDI keyboard (MK425C evolution) whose keys taient program under VDJ: the fader knob on the sound, qualizer on the knob, the keys for samples etc. and synchronization.
I got a little sick of some galrer paramtres (Research cue file in particular) so I can test the Hercules I bought the BCD2000.
The big diffrence with the CDJ1000 is the software that makes it (especially the sound quality pitch shifting makes the default apps), not so much the BCD2000. Almost everything is accessible, you can do everything necessary.
Intgre sound card is required when used with a laptop, the sound quality is certainly mdiocre.
The buttons are a bit tight, the jogs too small and not "fluid" but good hand for a scratch poses no problem.
The pots and faders are tough as it should: diffrent levels of hardness trs penss well, according to their function: pitch, volume ...
For cons, the major weakness is that it crashes. But once you know what not to do, no worries, a walk from the thunder.
The trick then: when you mix with Virtual DJ (BCD2000 normal mode), do not go to explore the files in Windows Explorer but remain in the browser VDJ. If you go into Explorer and you use a scrollbar Explorer bim BCD2000 drivers of the plant, and are likely to replant any time unless you dye APRS / turn on the console. No explorer during the mix then.
Do not use it either with Winamp or other (too bad because the sound quality is good trs).
Berhinger not rev so high level software. This does not m'tonne they have also abandoned the software provided with the benefit of the BCD3000 traktor.
The quality of sound is good trs. I have a sound card 1212m semi-pro PC fixed ct what I compare.
I mix of accessories with its 2Kw, 500 1,500, no problem. You just do not "killing the manip".
Prvoir as a phase converter to mix with the laptop (power to the PC gnre noise that goes into the BCD2000 and it trspnible, we would have AIM insulation earth ).
I am a convinced by the virtual mixer (PC + Controller), DCID not go back to CDs.
The Hercules is not srieuse ct.
Torq Xponent users do not all look happy and that's all the same three times the price ... May be due to the youth of the mess?
Xone3D only feature rich.
The series in "no sound card intgre"
KontrolDJ: more expensive, it looks pretty good, I did not try. The big worry is that it does not sound card intgre and so you need a USB sound card of good quality and more (for use with laptop), making sacrment swell the budget .
A cut above the Vestax looks nice but same problem of sound card.
A test also Numark but still not the sound card intgre (allow 60 euros more for something at least correct).
BCD2000 trs therefore advised for average budgets, except for those who want to scratch (XP10. ..).
The 3000 just released, and may be with fixing bugs ... see!
PS: I do not intend to sell
