All user reviews of 5/5 for the Vestax VCI-400

I use it for about 6 months.



I try several brands of all prices. I also currently a SCS.1m Staton and two SCS.1d.

There I was being a big budget because I wanted a portable solution & Quality. I almost turn me into a Rodec Mixer but I missed the decks and I did not want one milion cable and it is less easy to carry the vci-400 and my MacBook Pro.



In The Box:
To use a guide with button assignment. Practice to set-up and customize complex twelve o'clock
usb cable quality.
a cable to the ground.??? (I never thought to use.)
CD instalation.
Wall with an adapter tip for making three different countries.




My configuration (cpu):

MacBook Pro 2011
Version 10.6.8
Processor: 2.3 GHz, I5 Memory: 4 GB 1333 MHz DDR3

My Configuration (Dj set-up)

VCI-400 SE + Midi Fighter 3D



Particulars "+":

I love Scratch Jog for (I'm really not a Pro) and the quality of it fills well my lack of experience.
Tactile sensitivity to touch the Jog are adjustable
Resistance to rotation is adjustable
I like Cross-Fader short but just long enough and more adjustable.
You can use the 4 deck (jogwheel trackpad and bottom) thanks to a dedicated switch button which reveals another twelve o'clock selection assignment possible. So Bye Bye unfinishable mapping.
Lives XLR Input!

Particulars "-":

this is not really a fault, but I do not like the feel of boutuon for hot cues. But it is good on everyone!
This flat is having to use a wall outlet, but when you see all the positive side of the machine is ready to be done with!



Quality price ratio for the high price I judge justufié because I never had shit with this Dj Controller.
If I would do the same choice?? Yes no hesitation! When you've been trying you want to do without.

The Vestax VCI-400 is a great piece of software for every DJ out there.
What I like most about it is the innovative feature to bundled DJ software to any DJ which is extremely helpful in your mixing work. This piece of software is an a completely different league regarding dj controllers.
Some others great feature provided by this product are customizing control assignments, the VCI-400 and its ergonomic 4-channel lay out provides perfect control for mixing, resampling , such as cueing, pitch control, looping, FX control, track browsing/loading, triggering samples and scratching.

Another aspect of this product is the compatibility with many softwares like Traktor Pro 2, MixVibes, TORQ 2 and many others.

The sounds and quality of it is managed by 24-bit / 48 kHz resolution , combines a dual-core digital processor with an analog type of sounds to get the most of it.

It has some highly responsive multi-mode transport section triggers layers of controls instantly which allows creating some nice drum patters with a touch of syncopation , one other quality of this software is the large aluminum Filter knobs which look pretty pro.

My opinion about the value of price is decent, the product without a doubt, isn't a joke , it's made for pro work, the product costs around $899 so keep that in mind, if you're searching for a great pro platform this is best choice regarding quality and price.

Precision and quality of sounds is pretty much perfect, I would rate 9.5/10 , this platform is very handy in mixing.

Knowing what I know, if my budget would allow me to buy this pro software that takes the mixing process to a whole new level, which allows creativity to grow even further, without a doubt I would go for this product and I would make the same choice.

Purchased in November 2011, I already had a Typhoon of the same brand. This controller has a nice finish, it is robust and has a very pro compared to Typhoon which is a little toy side. Simultaneous monitoring of four tracks is truly an asset to the production remix, this machine does not suffer from default to the extent we can make a mapping (function assignment for each control) whatever fully customized software mix used.

I put 9/10 because it happened to me a few times accidentally touch the play / pause button during playback (ergonomics a bit perfectible?)

It is a bit expensive but we do not regret the investment from unpacking, so I remake this choice willingly.
