Best value:
Excellent
For how long have you been using it?
1 year
Did you try many other models before getting this one?
CDJ400, CDJ1000MKIII
What thing do you like most/least about it?
Most:
The platter-splinning / direct drive platter.
-Precision pitch.
-Ergonomics
Minimum:
With MP3-VBR-encoded, impossible to search "on the fly" forward / backward in the song (via 2 buttons searchs front / rear)
-No native support for Traktor, very disabling for me!
-Pitch bend buttons fragile as rubber (I broke one after a year of use with 2 evenings per month, so I had to order the replacement part to 19 euros each)
- No display of the waveform of the audio tracks (via CD or USB key), regardless of whether it is in both CD-Audio MP3/WMA or = to go through the Denon Music Manager software for analyze all its tracks UPSTREAM (prior to the evening) because only this software that analyzes and create the waveform then reproduced on the screen of the plate.
What is your opinion about the value for the price?
Good
Knowing what you know now, would you make the same choice? ...
Without hesitation
PS: Please Denon and / or Native Instruments, do you mean for heaven's sake on a common policy to develop native support for the platinum in Traktor.
Hybrid Mode Midi proposed by Denon for a little over two months is not 100% reliable in Traktor. The timecde generated by the plate is not recognized as such by Traktor which after several tests, does not operate quietly this feature in production (evenings mixes) and I spend on the problems of instabilities and complexities mappings MIDI ... it DIY but not seriously. In short, unusable for me live!
