Patch setup for computer DJs

Pretty cool looking piece of equipment.
We've all been there... Arriving at the club and the first thing you have to do is to unplug the mixer and rearranging the cables to connect your soundcard. Then when you leave and you have to do it all over again. Rodec USA made a patch panel called Patch Live for fixing this problem. It makes it so that when Digital DJs arrive, they can easily connect

TIP: Music on USB

I've had some problem with Traktor crashing while playing from external disks and drives.
My Traktor is normaly pretty reliable, but when I play music directly from an external drive it some times just gives my computer some hickups.
Just want to recommend you NOT playing directly from an external source, but copying your tracks to your local drive. It could just be my computer acting up, but

Reloop Mixage

Reloop launched the Mixage controller at BPM in Birmingham at the start of October. It's a two deck controller with a built-in sound card (16 bit/48 kHz) which is okay for the price range that it's in. You can get this unit for about $300-400 USD which is in the lower price range for controllers with built-in sound cards.

I've never tried controllers from Reloop, but they seem to have a good

Allen and Heath Xone DX | ProAudioStar.com

A run through of the four deck controller from Allen & Heath. Even though it's made for Itch, it still would do great on a Traktor setup aswell.The controller gets minus points for not having touch sensitive jogs... As I said earlier: Allen & Heath makes good products, but I personally don't like the faders, jogs or buttons. The faders just feels off some how and the buttons tend to have a long

Rumor: 4 deck magic from Numark

Lately Numark has been heavy on supporting Serato. The NS7 "only" work with Itch and alot of their new gadgets have been geared towards other software than Traktor. It breaks my heart, but I'm happy to see that Denon is on the Traktor offensive. :)

However... The guys at skratchworx.com has been lucky enough to be taken back to Numarks secret lair durring BPM 2010. Numark let them play around

Vestax VCI-100 MK II (Update)

I didn't have time to abbreviate about the new VCI100, so I just posted a quick post that it was launched.
Currently I'm using the VCI-100 because it's just a very good controller. I bought the black overlay from DJ Techtools and got the nice rubber knobs and I think it looks really nice. The only problem I have with the current one it that the effect section is way off from what Traktor needs
