Vestax VCI-300 Dedicated USB MIDI DJ Controller for Serato ITCH (Black) Reviews
More Picture
I DJ'd consistently about 10 years ago, and then somewhat fell off of it, but to go from buying vinyl, searching for that record, paying -10 a song, using up tons of space (crates, 2 turntables, mixer, etc) to carrying this small all-in-wonder tool with just your headphones and laptop is simply AWESOME. br /br /I won't be as technical as other reviews. The Vestax VCI-300 makes DJing so enjoyable. From spending days combing through crates to find a few records to simply d/l that track and throwing it in a mix instantly is pure joy. The sound quality is great, the quality of the components is top notch, and the ease of use is fantastic. All my friends and I can't put this unit away, it's so much fun. I highly recommend to anyone and everyone.br /br /I only wish there was a backpack specially suited for carrying this unit and my laptop around.

The pulse resolution of the JOG wheel and pitch control fader is 4 times higher than the VCI-100 and provides precise control of each function. The pitch control fader also shares the same high quality fader parts of the input fader for advanced operability. pstrongSuperb Audio/strongbr / The built-in audio interface carries a Audio Codec IC with crystal-clear sound, generated by a delta-sigma modulation 24 bit stereo D/A-A/D converter. Audio connection includes 1 stereo input, 1 MIC input and 2 stereo output (Master L/R, Monitor L/R). pstrongLevel Indication/strongbr / A 12 level LED L/R indicator is set in the center of the top panel to monitor sound levels. pstrongFile Control/strongbr / Audio files in the software library can be easily selected and controlled with the CRATES / FILES / BROWSE key and the cursor switch inherited from the VCM-100. pstrongEmergency Thru Switch/strongbr / The Emergency Thru Switch located on the rear panel is a countermeasure where you can use the VCI-300 with the provided ITCH software or without the computer connected if you simply want to play music from your external CD or MP3 player. The ITCH software reads music from your iTunes library or the Serato library you use for Scratch LIVE, making it the perfect device for recreational or professional DJ's. pstrongAdjustable Jog Wheel Torque/strongbr / The torque of each JOG wheel can be adjusted to prevent them from moving from low frequency feedback and altering the pitch when using the VCI-300 in such places like clubs. pstrongFader Curve Control/strongbr / The fader curve of each fader can be adjusted to the preferred characteristics for long mixes, scratching and any other style. h2serato ITCH Software/h2 Integrated software and hardware solution for a range of mixing styles from super-clubs to house parties.
