«  Not bad! Fun and convenient! »

How long have you use it?

-More than a year (use "moderate" they will say)

Have you tried many other models before buying it?

No, I have not tried many other "digital" decks, apart from the stuff of genres hercules passing quickly in stores, but I have experience of turntables (umx 7 mk2 serato ...).

What is the particular feature you like best,

-This is convenient because ... there's just plug and go! Everything is integrated, there's effects, display, etc., no need pc!

Touch scratch is very (very) right to my taste, the relative motion is multiplied slightly compared to a real turntable, but hey I quibble because, 1) to tell the truth is when I tried in the store to scratch it, I was conquered and 2) ben jog wheel is smaller in diameter than a 33 rpm huh .... So to scratch no latency and audio is realistic, the two jogs wheels plates are pretty beefy and heavy (metal)
Ok-fader (or even less, and the forum)
-5 USB ports for connecting peripherals his
A-rec button to save the session "live" on a USB.
-The effects are not comprehensive enough and maize (with appearances by three cue points added by the latest firmware)
-The firmware is progressing well and "boosts" the machine: the appearance of three cue points by individual gain control, pitch multiplied, MIDI mode ...
-I have not found many incompatible audio files.
-The headphone volume is powerful enough
The-OUTS than enough (and RCA jacks and 1 jack 1 mini jacks for headphones)

The least?

-Transfer and analysis long enough files and occupies ca processor machine also, eg ca may cause a conflict with the recording or reading another title (glitches, buzzs etc ... is enough ugly on live), wholesale: when you put a USB Device with a title for the first time, it was not until the third time the title to be able to see the scratch, self-synce, use effects, etc., as long as the SCS creates the USB file with information from the analysis, so DO NOT HAVE A TITLE BEFORE LETS MAKE ITS SCS TAF OR WORSE ... DO NOT MIX OF TITLE EVEN PERIPH ... gulp. (same for the REC must wait after recording arrested or partition your USB periph well [fat32 recommended in the manual in English] and do not save the periph that reads, but ca I've done ... and had no problems).
-Not by individual gain knob but the latest firmware allows manipulation to adjust the volume AND save the correction memory a volume correction related to a specific title.
-The crossfader ... today is a conflicting mark for me ... see my post on the forum I would repeat this mind later ... namely ... for now I'm worried whether I can change it by starting to falter (as any crossfader properly used) .. a priori, yes, (cross) fader is changeable but ... well, I advance that I I am not yet risqué.Et it probably lacks a support plate between the hull and the crossfader.
-The screen is so big, it will, but good.

How would you rate the quality / price?

Very good for an almost unique all-in-one (I was asking was the time on the Vestax VCI etc.), rendering and overall sound quality are good.

With experience, you do again this choice?

Yes, without doubt. But I expect to see the crossfader. (I'll come repeat.)
