Vestax VCI-300 with Serato.
Friday night at Veneto, my sound started glitching out. Very stressful thing to have happen to a DJ. Saturday I took my Numark NS7 in to Long and McQuade for a check up, and while they cut her open to operate they lent me the Vestax VCI-300 Serato Itch controller.
When I was shopping for an Itch controller last winter, it was between the Numark and Vestax and I ended up with Numark, so it was neat to see what could have been….
The Vestax is cheaper… and L&M they’ll run you about $1,100 vs. north of $1,700 for the Numark. The Numark is also huge in comparison. I chose the Numark because it is closer in feel to record turntables and I like being able to “grab” my songs and fly around a track. The Vestax to me feels more dainty. But I love that it is so small and easy to carry around, set up, takes way less space and is just… well less.
I already think, when I have the Numark paid off, maybe I’ll get a Vestax too! I’ll need some practise with the Vestax, because right now, I am awkward on it. If the Numark is on the DL for an extended period of time I can get some practise in on the Vestax.
If I am going to be able to get a new mix up this week for Huckdoll, it’ll need to be on the Vestax!
Go with yourself.
The Morning After 
Aw, you are SO getting a big massive awkward hug with your poke in the eye! 😀
Seriously though, more like for me and TONS of other people who love your Mixclouds, look at your listener numbers they are fantastic and for good reason.
its all because of your endorsements 🙂
I’ll try and make one… maybe tonight, likely early this week. So much new music to explore.
Ok. Next year we should go to this. We just missed it this year, but a friend of mine went and said it was like Mecca for music nerds.
