@abde It doesn't look like the Rane SL boxes are supported by #mixxxdj

@abde those are definitely fire 🔥 I don't know anything about DVS. I had 2 techs and a Rane TTM56 mixer. Just found a video demo'ing this older but solid mixer - https://vid.puffyan.us/watch?v=P_St49hjcGI

Consider picking up a SL3 Serato Scratch Live box to plug in between your turntables and your mixer and then you can play both vinyl and digital tracks. I'm rocking one which works well for me and ya can grab one for cheaper than a digital controller to work into your current setup.

@abde
I'd agree that develop sure a certain vinyl touch from not starting with techs. I also use Serato to control FLACs and mp3s with time-coded records & that has also worked well as long your laptop is decent. My friend's controllers use the same software, so I already know the interface.

I've seen #DJMarky rock these Rane controllers in his stream and I would love to get a pair of these https://www.rane.com/twelve-mkii

@abde you will have Techs eventually. I didn't start with them either. I agree that it's satisfying to mix on real decks. Also been recently playing on other friend's equipment with their digital controllers - it sure is different.

@abde nice! Us #vinyl #dj are rare today ;)

@abde I like to #DJ and saying hi
