Split cue is a game changer for me. I wish the mixer in my vinyl set up had it. Prob the next thing to upgrade.
This says it’s easy to hack it, but actually reading it, it sounds like a long winded bodge: https://djtechtools.com/2020/01/29/how-to-make-a-diy-split-cue-in-almost-any-mixer/
I’m pretty in love with it.
My day is so squeezed right now - I’ve only ridden outside once this year so far and I’ve set the turbo and had to take it down before using it due to work/family life encroachments more times than I’ve actually done a session.
So it’s become a bit of a hobby lifeline as it’s so convenient, quick and discreet.
If I record a vinyl mix, it will take me a couple of hours or so over a couple of days of picking a long list of tunes and whittling it down. Then I need to actually set aside time when I can make noise to actually record it.
With the Denon it’s much faster to just add tracks to a crate, preview them, look at how the keys match, sort them, try out how they mix. And I can record a set basically in silence, while being physically present in the front room or whatever and interruptions don’t feel quite so much like they’ll immediately end the recording session.
That’s before all the functionality of it, which I’ve only really scratched the surface of. I love all the effects and capabilities, but am taking a softly softly approach, as that kind of shit gets really tiring and annoying when it’s overdone in sets, imo.
