I like the freedom tho, and do have two controllers and when we have 4
machines going we can move around machines or play on the same laptop
with the other controller.
It would be "nice" but I fear the block build mentality of Cubase would
sneak in and people would get really lazy and stop thinking, having
said that - most people don't know what they want on their pizza let
alone a controller.
Alex, just get something with loads of nobs and sliders and colour code
them up, I can do anything on mine that I could do on a DM600. Sound to
me that all you are missing is punching tracks in and out - but this
can be done with easy - Do you get someone to put your records on for
you Alex?
Most DJ's miss the point and just want what they've already had, the
freedom is there, you just have to change...

i see what you're saying martin and to a certain extent you're right.
it'd be nice to get away from actually using the mouse etc though and
just control from something that is mixer-like.
it'd also be nice in terms of setup at gigs etc to have one thing that
you plug into the laptop that
does audio and control.
a uc17/uc33/indigo dj for example in one unit you just throw in yer
bag with the laptop when u gig.

Personally - I think it's all rubbish - as you can use any controller
with plenty of nobs and sliders - you just have to stop wanting to
change it into decks 1 and two because if that's all you are going to
do, you may as well use decks.
People do seem to want to replicate what on screen to a controller,
but when you've had hours of practice this simply doesn't matter.
