Topic: Of the new controllers on the market - which middi controller has the best integration with VDJ
Just lost my SX2 and SX3 which I've been using for a few years now. I have the Dennon Go...but you cannot pull the mic input lines into VDJ to use in sending out a Broadcast (VDJ tech notes say the mic and aux input lines are not accessed by the hardware driver). So I'm back in the market for a midi controller. I need a mimum of one mic input with its own gain control (that doesn't waste track channel)...preffer 4 track channels, and loved the fx controls on the SX3...

Would be nice to have Stems dedicated controls that actually work with VDJ (seems most stems controllers don't have all the stem streams available on VDJ)

Recommendations? would like to keep my buy price at or under $2k if possible

The mic inputs on the Flex 10 go straight to master out and do not integrate into Virtual DJ - which means you can't use the Mic inputs when you are using Broadcast mode in Virtual DJ.

This is also true for the Denon Go, Denon Prime 4, and the Numark Mixstream Pro... which is insane...

I need a controller that fully integrates like the SX3 did.
 
FLX10: Yes the mic inputs go direct to the master out, but all you need is record in on the sound config to broadcast/record the mix mic included.

This is quite common for most devices. I guess HW makers do it to keep mic signals low latency.
Why Denon didn't allow HW & SW mix on the record in channel is unknown, maybe down to it being primarily a stand alone unit and software support being an actual afterthought.
