dattrax: Made this mix with M-Audio's Xponent midi-controller, their Torq software & my laptop.
After using my friend's Xponent a few times I'd have to say that I'm not a fan. (Sorry, not being ungrateful Devon. Thank you for letting me borrow it). The cueing of tracks from the beginning on the jog wheels don't work each time, so you have to use the forward/backwards buttons a lot- major pain and time waster. The cross-fader and pitch controls are way too loose- it's difficult to be precise. Feels like you're playing with a toy.
BIG TIME PROPS to all the DJs I've seen on youtube who rock it out on these plasticky controllers. MAD SKILLS!! I suck on these.
The mid-range EQ's on each channel had to be set at 11 o'clock all the time (I usually have to set to 1pm for all other DJ mixers), and it still put out too much mid & the mid sounds very hollow. Overall, not really too fun to play with. Got my house music fix with the making of this mix though.
For max DJ'ing fun, I'll stick w/ cd turntables, serato w/ vinyl control discs or reg. vinyl turntables.
Will be trying a friend's NuMark NS7 soon http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ef_4NIKpuHI
That looks like the best controller out there because of the motorized platters that spin (and you can adjust the tightness of the platters), and the heavy duty metal construction. The NS7 doesn't feel like a toy, but at over 3X's the cost of Xponent, it better not:)
Most of the tracks on this mix were bought from www.Stompy.com and the rest from www.Traxsource.com Hope everyone enjoys this mix!
BTW... if you enjoy this mix, then why don't you buy us a beer? There's a PayPal DONATE button on the top right side of this website. For Toronto or Global bookings: dattrax@gmail.com
