All user reviews for the Vestax VCI-300

- How long have you use it?

Since one week intensive

- What is so special that you like best?

The Scratch, The Cross, The accuracy of Jog, a compact but not too compact nor well studied in the locations of knobs, jog etc, Serato software, sound card

the least?

Serato Bpm for calculating so-so I expected a lot better now but it's really the only downside of this software I have a lot of shifting tempo but apparently I'm not the only, 3 / 4 effect in serato would have been welcome too but be a good bit SHIFT will be rectified!
on the other hand I managed to connect the vci 300 with traktor and for calculating zero offset Bpm nickel.

- Have you tried many other models before buying it?

So I started with a DJ mix control, then I went on a Vestax Vci 100 (nothing to do really much better now zero crash, the scratch is really the jog EXCELLENT nothing to say compared to 100)

and I just left my pair of CDJ800 Mk2 with Mixer Vestax really no regrets! very very happy! I even save space crashes with the mk2 at the reading of mp3 I buy cdj 800 for scratch and mix the vci 300 is infact the Jog mieu is more pleasant even if it is smaller than the 800.

- How would you rate the quality / price?

It's a really good final product and not succeed as the experience I had with the Vci 100 at the responsiveness of jog.

- With experience, you do again this choice? ...

Without hesitation, yes!

I put 9 / 10 because the software Serato has some way to go in terms of BPM, and effects.

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.

- How long have you use it?
2 months
- What is the particular feature you like best and least?
Itch 1.0.5 is excellent, the quality of manufacture, simplicity of use. I bought it I dballe live in the disco, I did not even test before and no problem. I just installed the latest vesrion of Itch before leaving.
- What is the particular feature you like least?
The quality of his ultimately leaves DSIR, there is a clear difference in quality between his Rane Scratch Live and VCI 300. Even with version 1.0.5. But in any case there is no question that I still dplace with turntables. If there are plates in the club or I mix I take the Serato Scratch Live, if there is not I take the VCI 300. But out of the question that I lug around with more than my backpack.

Yes, if I am alone or mix that everyone is a VCI 300 is as a letter in the mail, and what a pleasure to be able to mix or even a scooter bike.

- How long have you use it?
4 months

- What is the particular feature you like best and least?
The +: compact, prcise, intgre sound card, a monitor output, quality of knobs, control of the software without a keyboard / mouse
the -: quality of jogs quite mdiocre: intensive use of the game appears fairly tt and sensitivity suffers. I think even send him to SAV. There is also a wheel SETTING THE hardness of a job that is veiled and rubs.
- Have you tried many other models before acqurir?
Yes, Vci 100. Surface vci 100 but too small and no sound card intgre
- How do you report qualitprix?
Average ratio. The manufacturing quality is average.
- With the exprience, you do again this choice? ...
No. The quality is mdiocre for intensive use.

[edit 07/10/2009] APRS 11 months of use, large dception ... My fears are confirmed: pass the first signs of weakness of jogs, I confirm the reliability TRSM diocre of this plate. It starts as collateral. Reason: Total loss of sensitivity even re-APRS rglage, the use of jogs became impossible, high stakes in the axis for the two plates. and is dial rglage dsaxe too. Serato ITCH gnial version 1.1 is ... and version 2.0 will be even better <span style="text-decoration: underline;">yet, I'm not a nag I do not scratch, I mix the pitch. Then imagine those who scratch</span> ... I have a normal use of this machine ... except that I use often ... is this bad?

- How long have you use it?
I use it for 5 months ... a joy since the last update 1.0.5.

- What is so special that you like most and least?

LE +:
<ul> especially the size and weight compared with 2 CDJ + table + 5 bags of 200 CDs
Serato software, the software must Dj
3 Hot & 3 loops cues
Autoloop recordable on the buckles
The Scratch
Etc ... there is something bcp
</ul>

THE -:
<ul> The Pitch, you get used to, it's not a bad system but I preferred to have the choice of + / -6%, + / -10%, + / -20% etc ...
No Exit Booth
</ul>

- Have you tried many other models before buying it?
Not really, I just tried the VCI-100, but I do not like the effects you can have fun, for against the scratch is not for

- How would you rate the quality / price?
Excellent, I must say that I bought € 550 via this website and sold my CDJ + table twice.

- With experience, you do again this choice? ...
Yes with eyes closed (for the moment because you never know!)

You still have to have a good PC / Mac

6 months
c is the seventh wonder of the world, it's perfect / I except that it crashes when I turn it !!!!( deck color change of law and playback does not work) and recently it has my vid i tunes library on and makes me itch all of a sudden "i tunes library not found" even when c is boring for 6 months and suddenly royal everything goes qd j ai in most need
I tried all the other models the NS7 is good but cumbersome, but c is the only one to overshadow the VCI300
quality price report a week ago would have been yes ... j
but I do it again this choice

How long have you use it?

Purchased in November or December 2008, with a flycase.

What is the particular feature you like best and least?

+ It is compact and effective profile to allow maximum mobility for DJs

+ It is super intuitive, without manual, from the time when we used an adj Serato, you get fast mixer (I deprecated, however, to ignore the manual is a fragile object and it has prcautions use read)

+ Navigation is done well in stores virtual Serato

"It is a system that is limited by the OS of the computer to which it is connected. SSL Vista nickel, a VCI-300 with Vista (and more without the transformer) you quickly saturate the USB.

-Version 1.5 of Itch was not working. (The Controller's soft). Installation of the latest ASIO4ALL is just making up for everything, but I quickly returned the version 1.3 (and all fawns as you can see below, the VCI is part SAV)

- It remains a Controller noon, which will for many of Djying The elements (Scratch etc ...) but at the same time quickly reaches its limits (do not ignite on vidos running on the net can be seen o DJs cutter, they are just trs trs plutt prcis and strong to allow this kind of manipulation. scratcher A beginners, will soon toil do the same). The sound is not even scratch super top, without being bad. The simulation is correct.

Have you tried many other models before acqurir?

Not really, I used a few times a CDJ 1000 MK2 (I did mention that for the comparison of jogs and management of shortcuts). The jog of the IVC is the penalty for plutt impressive, and cue points are trsractifs.

How do you report qualitprix?

It's hard to tell.
Technically it is a jewel of synergy. We have the plates, the table, in serato and one bote. It is an object extremely ingnieux.
Now why an object has as many as ingnieux default?
It's just crazy ...
The race-fader is (much) too long
-There are only three cue points per deck, plus I thought they out rcemment n'taient not grs properly if they did not by t cr the IVC. Eg (unless I hallucinated the vci gre his cuts in the order, even if the first cue pt - done under SSL - Has placed elsewhere (rechecking)
- There is no send / return Fx .. Nerd is ...
-The impdence sound is a bit feeble (especially the headphone)


Exprience with, you will do again this choice? * ...

Medium not too ... in fact not at all. AIM I do not let me try and keep the money to change my turntables.
In fact j'tais about to sell it (and I want to apologize to the people of this site contact me but now it fails twice. I I could not see, selling something so fragile, trs not nice for the buyer.
So failure gnrale right on the edge, cross over, more reading, more than scratch mode, nothing ....
Service and return, a bug that gave me a tip to the store, since the "touch sensor level" silent mobile (but Obviously I did not know) so I qd ramen e IMMEDIATE APRS have Reue of SAV, the tester of the store he saw nothing .... it took me that while lche j'tais about to play one night that I come into contact with the "Super Service" (the bote that rpar products Vestax) and we do a whole battery of tests together ... So it is not the home, but in SAV for easy 3 weeks ...

In fact to conclude, I do not want to leave an impression of spit, too bitter.
It really is a superb product, but who suffer from Vestax and Serato Precipitation Occurred in (I'd blame Stax more ...) leave the machine as soon as possible.
700 for the VCI is cheap pay (even if in absolute terms, has a great piece REPRESENTATIVES of the average wage en) when she walks. It is a machine pro, lgante, which allows to approach the true Djying trs well ... basically, you do not pass for an old imposter who mixes the click, people see your work and you plutt your home. This is a big bonus for people who are mixing mobile and do not know if the hardware Necessary for play o the place they visit.

I use it for more than a year after I did the hand on the VCI-100.

The fact that the VCI-300 is fully dedicated to Itch: no more sleepless nights mapping!
Touch is exceptional, latency 0: Awesome! (Since I have a Macbook pro), (with my old PC I could not imagine connecting the VFX, or record! Too many bugs)
Practical compact and coupled to the VFX-1 I have everything I need!
It is a beautiful machine which I never get tired! (Even Itch 2.0!)

The only downside if you wander around it is quite sensitive and I have to regularly adjust the sensitivity!

It is expensive but the rewards are worth it!

I would definitely do it again this election!

I use it for a year and a half.

I have a Behringer BCD3000 before and I tested a Hercules (the difference is obvious, it is more of a toy!)

Assets:
-Very easy to handle.
Jog-touch adjustable (precise)
Excellent sound quality (even with mp3)
-Very strong, perfect finish!
-Combined with the VFX-1 it is very complete.

The least (because it must be one):
Crossfader-a bit fragile for stractcheurs crazy!

The price / quality ratio is excellent, even if it is a bit expensive to buy you will not regret!

I Refer this choice with his eyes closed while the Controller Allen & Heath looks really pretty!

Hello

VCI 700 is simply the best controller at the moment ... NS-7 before NUMARK
but it is more in the same price range

with several nightclubs, I equipped all my points with VCI 300

advantage: SERATO simply no latency

the controller in turn is solid, reliable, while the crossfader is changed regularly (regular hip hop night, with many DJs familiar with solid tables ECLER ...)

Otherwise no complaints, everything holds up, the solid, reliable and

level design, the machine is simple and makes pro, after various tests in total control, and OMNI CONTROL (also very good in their price range) DJs prefer the interface SERATO, unavoidable

in a bar atmosphere electric, the cross fader to view more than 9 months of intensive use in intensive solid! all parts are interchangeable via VESTAX, so no worries for the pros hip hop, provide a set of cross fader per season, nothing really bad (a table VESTAX quality consumes just less ...)
go, a 9 / 10 because perfection is made to never be reached!

I recently purchased a product that was but I knew / used for some time.

What I love most, the system of hot cues / loops, what I like least is the extremely poor quality of the integrated sound card that I discovered to my cost at the first big release.

I tried VCI100, NS7, Digital Jockey, HC4500 and many others.

The quality / price new is terrible, it's robbery: 700 € for it?!?
Barely better than VCI100 not already famous, I am very disappointed with the product that remains a luxury gadget for fun at home and does not provide the weight in volume.

Hello everybody,
I have a VCI300 + VFX1 last week and frankly I find it well despite some opinions that might discourage some.

FYI I have owned a lot of set, the VMX Denon 2600 + 300 (in the beginning), then the Numark 5000FX then CDJ1000Mk2 Xone62 + (best) NS7 then a (really good) and to go on holiday an Vci.

What I like about this product is dejas weight (no photo), it is quite well done, it recognized all my point of N7 and the ai is even reconvertie.Il well built (good impression).
What I do not do is to mobilize 2 USB port for the two elements, then the position of cetain button (as celuit adjustment Durt trays) ... that's all for now.

True, it is expensive (as is everything), but must look carefully his moves.
For those who hesitate to go, it's a very good controller, not at the NS7 is on but it must be pro détoure.Memme for running all weekend

I use it for over a year now.
I had already tried the VCI 100 and NS7 before purchasing.

The pros:
+ Connection and installation in 10 minutes
+ Getting Started immediate, easy to mix
+ Jogs most accurate
+ Onboard sound
+ Mobility incredible (just as your buddy has an Internet connection, simply get an external hard drive with your MP3, download the app on serato and presto, here we go!)
+ Knobs very strong
+ Possibility to save 4 loops on the same MP3

The -
- The 2 volume buttons a little light (to quibble)
- Damage that is not sold directly to the bag

Very good value for money, there is a certain budget, but it's worth it.
With experience, I would do without a doubt the choice. I even used several times in the evening, plugged directly into the mixing desk to the bar and once on radio.
In a word, go for it!

For how long have you been using it?
I use it for over a year now

Did you try many other models before getting this one?
No, just a pack numark total control, nothing have!

What thing do you like most/least about it?

most: the quality of scratch is also impressive, and the many possible settings above

Cons: may be some bugs to report with itch

What is your opinion about the value for the price?
The price / quality ratio is pretty good, although I find it're still a little expensive

Knowing what you know now, would you make the same choice?
Do not know, I do not mix too much more on mp3

(Originally written by /translated from Audiofanzine FR)

One month of intensive use.
After hesitating a lot, I chose this control surface to mix my hip hop/electro/d&b MP3 files without having to carry around two turntables and my vinyl records.

Pros: jog wheel precision! You can pitch the speed of any track by slightly tapping the sides of the jog wheels, and the results are as good as with vinyl. Scratching feels almost the same as with a real vinyl record, although, it's true, you need some time to get used to it. The crossfader is terribly good. The mixer is really sexy. It's big, solid and the pots are not cheap... nothing to complain about, it's a Vestax! The Serato software is somewhat basic but good: I love the graphic interface which allows you to see track scrolling, making it perfect for track matching.

Cons: the software has no effects for individual tracks and you can't even insert effects since the mixer works with its own sound card! Some delay, reverb, flanger effects would be much appreciated. I hope the next version does include some new effects so I can rate it 10/10.

I also tried the VCI100 which works very well but doesn't have enough precision and is too small!

I know it's not cheap, I bought it for 660 euros after bargaining at the store, but now I have the MP3 mixing tool I had always been looking for. Nevertheless, don't forget that you get a Vestax mixer (with a very good croosfader) + a sound card + a mixing software, all for the same price.
To wrap it up, this is the best virtual mixing tool I've ever used.
