simple, I think everybody'll like the faders better. Knobs aren't easy to use...

Tiger you'd be amazed how wrong your statement is.

It's because rotaries aren't really known to us, but lots and lots of people prefer rotaries. Especially in the US.

Much smoother volume curve, but I prefer faders because it allows you to make faster cuts (handy with techno).

I've never tried rotary but it seems as though many of the bigger names prefer them.

I much prefer the rotaries because of its smoothness and control. I dont like the linear feel of channel line faders.... If I need a fast cut, then I'd use the x-fader or channel gains.

A good rotary mixer is hard to beat. I've been fortunate enough to spend some time on a Rane MP 2016 and it is just smooth as hell. The thing just oozes quality. Very easy to make the slightest adjustments on a rotary. The knobs definitely offer a higher degree of control.

That said, I decided to go with a Rane Empath for personal use.

i have the djm3000 and am almost hoping for something to break as an excuse to rip out the faders to get the rotary option. tis not cheap, but would be so much nicer

BOZAK!

if they didnt cost an arm and a leg


edit:

I'd buy a 3000 just to get rotary on the cheap ..

Buying rotary knobs for a mixer doesn't make it a rotary mixer...
Mixing on an actual rotary mixer is slightly different than on a fader mixer...

A DJM3000 w/ knos is not a Rane, Urei, Bozak, Phazon or Allen & Heath..

The statements you made were pretty basic, you did not indicate why it matters?
You do know that pioneer puts out a rotary kit for it right?
