Absolutely.

I had one for a while, & really regret selling it now. Quite simply, the VCI 300 was pretty close to a battle mixer & a pair of decks. .....it just let you get on with playing the tunes.

I'd be tempted to grab another one, if I found one cheap enough.

I thought about getting a Twitch for a bit, sold my VCI-300, and ended up getting another one. Platters are probably the most responsive next to the NS7. BigBeatzz on here gave me some Rane TTM knobs to put on the VCI and I've always though it's the closest and most portable feel to two decks and a mixer. Add a few effects and it feels like a mini DJM set up with solid scratchable platters. i believe you used to have one?

The skill and music that you put forward is what the sportsmanship of DJing is about
OP is DJing for his own enjoyment so software choice is of paramount importance. When you don't play in bars or clubs your choice of software has a big say in how much enjoyment you get out of mixing.

I had a hell of a time cutting one out. If you do, just remember to cut bigger than you believe for the knobs

I'd rather pay someone a couple bucks online to just mail me a nice complete new overlay that adheres, but can be removed safely, I'm not going to download that, print it out on paper, and try and cut holes in it, then lay it on the one section lol.

i've recently upgraded to dj from itch too, and could do with a new overlay too, i'm good friends with a sign writer that produces things very cheap for me, BUT i dont have any time to make an overlay, if anyone fancies putting it together to 1:1 scale, i'll gladly have them printed and posted onto you at whatever the cost price is.

As being a long Tim trakto user v1.06 when I started. I enjoy serato dj immensely more I sometimes miss traktor effects. But find I'm more inclined to do realtime mash ups in serato

you can create your own overlay in illustrator or photoshop with the templates from the 12 inch skins website. Everything is in layers so you can turn off the text layer or change the text you want to show, Then it's $55 for them to print it, if you don't want to spend that much on it you could probably see your local sign writer and get it printed cheaper but you probably won't be able to get the 3M vinyl sticker. Just remember to set your color pallet to CMYK not RGB.

Welcome back good sir. You will find a lot of threads on here start quite well but quickly descent into dross. Not the place it used to be unfortunately.
Re the overlay I'd love a fully completed one and would gladly pay a few quid for one. My Twitch currently has stickers all over it for my custom Traktor mapping. If anyone out there feels inclined there's two customers already.

I'm not doubting or even debating that, just giving you my opinion as someone who's used both and found Serato to be severely lacking.

As experienced Twitch user I'd advise you to get Traktor and the Twitch mapping for it. Works way better than itch/serato DJ imo.
Candace Carmouche
20.08.2013
yeah i couldnt say no to this deal.

should be interesting exploring minimal / techno playing with the new serato.

i fired it up last evening with the new serato dj. looks good so far, still need to play with all those new izotope effects. im curious to see how good they really are.
