Best value: Correct
- For how long have you been using it?

Only one day I just buy it.
___________________________________________________

- Did you try many other models before getting this one?

I tried the NI Traktor Kontrol S4, a real killing it must be said, but more expensive, having said that almost 600 € for the Vestax we are very far from the 900 € the S4, but I was too short budget and also not a pro, the VCI100MKII enough for me. If I owned a Behringer BCD3000, who serviced me well to begin work in the evening, but obviously it day and night with the Vestax.

- What thing do you like most/least about it?

+ Perceived quality, robust and lightweight at a time.

+ Set the hardness and jog jogs in themselves are nice (he took a grip on that a little more).

+ The knobs are very nice, well-ordered super hardness and grip very well.

+ The faders are neither too hard nor too soft.

+ The integrated sound card this time unlike the old VCI 100 and that looks to be very well made, I have not tried that with me and I'm working or not yet but it 's looks very good, and allows course preview.

+ The knob filter.

The + button to browse for the selection of track.

+ Power over USB, allows mobile transpots an AC adapter and less.

- The race to pitch a little short but I chipotte because contrary to what one might expect, there are still many adjustable and can manually calibrate and banish the Sync button:)

- Switches to move to lanes C and D is good, but 2 additional faders would have been better.

- The version that comes with Traktor LE is very limited as some know it and can not operate the machine which I think is commercially not terrible from Vestax. That the pro version makes things more ok and it's a personal choice than to buy, but the version supplied does not permit: to have the 4 channel mode and use of filters so that they are functions on the controller at this price point they could have included the pro version because it is 100 € to 700 € budget then Eton is even closer to the S4 S4 Traktor version that included dedicated ... Brief enjoy, prefer a Pro version.

- No "kill" the knobs (some do not like this feature, my yes, it is used very nice, I had it on my old wheelbarrow BCD3000, bad point there (having said that even critical for the S4).
___________________________________________________
What is your opinion about the value for the price?

- Correct Vestax pay a little but its image is not good ... I said good to see very good if there was the Pro version of Traktor included.
___________________________________________________
Knowing what you know now, would you make the same choice? ...

- Yes I think it is perhaps a little early OPUR answer this question, but to use that jen did it for me, I mix in a bar so it's enough.
