I want to have those skills first, then I'll drool over the decks ;)

I'm practicing already on one I made out of cardboard and cellotape. ;)

I'll stick with the MC-6000. I will however say that mix was hot! Very nice skills on the NS6!

Came a little to late if you ask me, the fact that it's not a mixer when the MC6000 out.

I tried the unit out at the PAL 2011 show (Pro Audio & Lighting) in Toronto on Sunday May 15.

The platters have a nice resistance to them and are very responsive, perfect for a scratch DJ. All knobs and sliders feel very fluent and solid, and the casing is pretty rugged. However, I was not a fan of the small and hard feeling plastic buttons for the hot cues and loop controls. The MC-6000 definitely wins in that department. The buttons are a hardened plastic and lack that positive feeling you get when pushing a gel style button.
Overall, it's a very nice unit, but after 6 months of waiting on it's release, I'm a bit disappointed as hot cues and loops are used in my sets constantly.

When it comes mixing. I preffer using a comfortable sized deck. The Denon Mc 6000, Vms4, hercules Rmx, Vci 300 are history. Too small and uncomfortable.

Yes this is some pretty serious specs on the NS6! I love this thing already and havent got to see it or play it yet.
Posted Fri 20 May 11 @ 5:07 pm
It looks sweet. What happened with the Gemini Ctrl-47. It was suppose to be out already but there is no news of it being out. I am going to wait until it comes out so I can compare Gemini vs Ns6.
