Live Addict

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.
