RANE TWELVE MKII Battle Controller and Mixars Duo MK2 Mixer Package

I needed a new mixer after years of putting up with an old one because I no longer dj in clubs. I'm an officially retired dj only playing for myself. I couldnt believe how much everything has really changed towards laptops and the cost that goes with it. So I looked at all the options and could see a massive price difference between mixars duo and something like a rane 72 or equivalent. Im sure the price has a reason but to me I cannot equate over £1500 for a mixer. So I took the jump. What can I say, I'm glad i did. The main thing i needed was a light, curve adjustable xfade. The crossfade is the best I've seen and used in a long time. The overall quality is remarkable I'm truly happy with this. Pros: 2 usb connections as well as 1 designated pc connection, perfect xfade control, good pad selection, nice onboard filter dials, completely remappable buttons by serato, easy serato activation (just plug it in), designated line/phono/serato switches on either channel allowing serato on one and a vinyl or cd to play on the other, perfect size, fx button controls, load to serato from the mixer, quality build, aux line in from the front. Cons: pad bank of 8 but must select by button, fx only works in serato, fx button is small and in the wrong place (might remap it), only one fx at a time unless using on the laptop keyboard or 2 from either side of the mixer over the main volume? I've not tried this. To sum this up I found it hard to find the cons I had to really think. You just cant go wrong with it as you can remap the whole thing by serato. So if a button doesnt do what you want just change it to another. This mixer is so well design and I believe it is future proof as well. The 2 extra usb inputs are a gem and I can only imagine the possibilities. If your on a budget just buy this and you wont be disappointed.

Has lots of faded controls other mixers don't, rock solid build and Serato compatibility. Very good mixer for the price.
