Having tested some of the various DJing software on the market I would strongly recommend using Traktor Pro or Virtual DJ with this controller. As well as making the BCD useful with all your old vinyl the external mixing capability allows for exciting mixes between some classic tunes and recent digital media giving a proper twist on all your old and new favourites.Īll in all the BCD is fantastic value for money and is a really good tool for cutting your teeth in the world of digital mixing or even just adding to your arsenal of audio gear. The function is very natural and can be used by anyone with even limited mixing experience. Another feature very exclusive to the BCD at this price point is the ability to use it as a traditional 2 channel mixer using vinyl.
The abundance of LED lit buttons is also a benefit during DJ'ing situations when lighting may not be available or suitable and thus allows for important functions to be visibly on or off at a glance. The controller layout is good and very akin to a traditional DJ mixer and this controller benefits massively from having an in-built usb sound-card allowing the standalone use of this and your chosen computer hardware with out the need for any other interfaces or sound-card. Unlike other controllers on the market at this pricethis comes fully loaded with everything you need from a mixer. I have been using Native instruments Traktor Pro with the controller for the past year and have found the controller to work extremely well with it and find this controller somewhat nicer to use than some of the 'newer breed' offerings on the market currently.
3) Fairly quickly (3-6 months moderate use) the jog wheels lose the original factory fresh smoothness, but having said that no functionality is lost. As I love this product I aim to get its bad points out of the way first.ġ) Microphone input is not up to the quality of the rest of the package and with the Behringer drivers it is impossible to run the Mic on its own seperate channel all of the time, so you have a choice, mix using the two channels or play from one channel and speak.2) Some of the decorative rings around the knobs can be pushed out of place if say for instance a mobile phone is dropped on one, you may think this is a strange comment but remember accidents do happen. Having used the BCD 3000 for nearly 3years now it is plain to see it has its good points and its short falls.
