So, i was at digitallife today and checkd out the m-audio booth.. they didnt have a connectiv/torq demo
but they did show me the X-Session Pro... which caught my eye.. my story is i want to try to get into djing, but a) dont have money and b) live in dorm room so lack space.. i've been playing around on virtual dj for months so i pretty much have ht wlo of things, i can mix a few tracks here and there.. the guy gave me a demo and let me ply around with the X-Session Pro.. for $100 it seemed like a steal, it seemed to do everything i think i need in a mixer ( minus the inputs of cdjs.. but he said i fi get a cnnectiv i can use it with cdjs and what not.. )

check it out guys:

your thuohgts are well appreciated

that's a pretty neat looking little mixer there!

i got to play with it and the software seemed very responsive, the set up was two tracks, the equalizers controlled the 3 eq settings.. the 3 knobs on the left controlled effects (it was set to filter, phaser, and a beat repeat type thing)... when you jab the cross fader to the next track, it automaticalyl beatmatches.. you can set hot cue's usign their software.. only problem im seeing is lack of jog dial, but its cool whe nyou have a mouse... theres also that Behringer BCD2000 thats supposed to be $200, but behringer isnt quite hten ame.. and hte hercules dj console which is like $500

ediT: correction Dj console mk2 is $200ish.. theres also a dj control mp3 which is similar to the m-audio for cheaper..

what to do eh?

hmm, what are some other good mixers in the same style as that one that work via USB that aren't too expensive? (350$ and under)


edit: to clear things up, I need a good mixer to plug into my PC for use with Ableton for 350$ or so or less.

That Behringer BCD2000 looks pretty good, especially with free shipping :O

yea it does look nice, espicailly for hte price..j ust the thing is, by reading the forums.. the quality on behringer is always iffy.. so thats whats holding me back

What made me interested in this is that it actually resembles a dj mixer. I am not into the ableton/midi controller thing right now, but if I do go that way in the future, this is definitely a controller i'd look at.

I can't stop laughing when I look at this...

actually the first X-Session looked pretty good...but this looks like a "baby-toy" hahaha

Thank you!

it doesnt feel like a baby toy lol i was playing around with it, everything seemed sturdy, the faders and knobs were accurate.. they were a bit stiff, but that i didnt mind.. has anyone ever used the behringer or the hercules?

I didn't say how it feels...I'm commenting on the looks...heh man if I came up with this to the club where I play and all the other ablet0rz geekz saw me with this...loooool

seriously...DJM800 has midi...there's no point for this kind of...toys :-)

well thats obvious.. lol you forget a couple of thinsg though for me.. a) money (the wonderful djm800 costs about $1000 more than any of the units)

b) size constraint.. im in a dorm , where i trip over my desk/chair every step lol
