Ok

Talk to those in the know. 3dex are pointless unless you're playing techno or house, where it's mainly beats and overlaying a 3rd track will not ruin the overall feel of a mix.

For trance, go for an effects box instead, that's what I did last year, and I haven't looked back.

You'll notice Armin has started using one in ASOT, and G/gold has same box as little me when he plays at Peach weekly, and absolutely loves the thing. Hours of pleasure believe me.

I think that it is much more prevalent in house and techno that you can use three decks at once, but that doesn't mean that you can't find use for it in trance or other genres.

First off, I am getting a third deck because I want to be able to use different mediums (vinyl AND cd). Second, I don't have to use the third deck for every track/transition etc. There are several songs that I know of that sound increadible when overlapped. If you find three or four of these tracks, then you can spin a few each set...find more, new ones etc. Then go for it. As I said, just because you have a third deck doesn't mean that you have to use it all the time.

yea
you don't have to use the 3rd deck every transition
actually, sometimes i wish i had a 3rd deck, and i play hard house
i get the 2nd track beatmatched and ready to go
but then i sit and wait for the breakdown or somethin like that
in that time i could be beatmatching the next track
then you can tease or do some cutting or something like that
although i can already do that with just 2 decks...
anyway... if you have the skills, try it out

mmmm threee decks i want so bad!!! towuld be so good to be able to do beat delays, over?@laps and flanges during sets without having to miss out on the first breakdowns plus during long transistions could go scratch and sample crazy!!!! turn a normal mix into a trance trick set!!!

mmm loving it cant wait to get another one!!! would like a sampler as well especially for echo on scratching love that effect
