New to being a DJ - Need help with midi/remix decks
Posted on: 15.07.2013 by Ping Feiring
Hey Guys

As stated in the title, im new to mixing.
I am however, looking to add the ease of having something like the midi fighter, native f1, or novation launchpad


Can someone please help me decide between these?

Thanks a ton

This, I'd really focus on the basics before overwhelming yourself.

My F1 took twice the amount last evening after some tit fell over and swiped it off the tabletop, same DJ booth but different part of it, so not only did it fall an extra two feet, it had momentum too. Still works, slight ding on the lower corner on the one it already had because it was second hand, so no tears lost there.

The actual Launchpad worked fine, just the USB port was shafted after the drop.

15.07.2013		Midi Fighter - Different, stands out from the crowd, good customer service, definitely the best buttons.

F1 - Still the best Remix Deck controller, as it's the only controller designed just for the remix decks, this should come as no surprise.

Launchpad - Lots of buttons, bad build, broke mine within a few months after a short fall (bout 2/3 foot).

When you say "ease", what exactly do you mean? Because if you're learning to mix, these controllers are the least of your worries.

EDIT: In fact getting your head round the Remix Decks before learning basic A -> B mixing is a terrible idea.
