numark n4,gives me the flexibillity,however its just a big bulk of plastic.should i look past the plastic build.

vms 4.1,gives me the flexibillity,has a great solid finish,however i feel the jog wheels let it down.would i get used to the jog wheels.

reloop mix 4,great jog wheel,great finish,cant add any turn tables or cdjs.GUTTED.do i really need turn tables.

Not many people use this forum, there are some busy Facebook groups out there though.

 

I have a VMS4.1 and it's superb.

I also have a vms4.1

I upgraded from a Hercules RMX. I had been wanting to upgrade for quite a while but you know how it is when you are so familiar with something? I knew where every button and knob was on the rmx without looking and I could mix blindfolded lol.

 

I'm no expert on jog wheels but the 4.1 are a league apart from the RMX although some reviews I have read do list them as a slight weak point.

 

I must say though i've been very impressed with the vms4.1. I often work without an external mixer and the mic channel on the rmx was pants to say the least. Two excellent balanced mic channels with 3 band eq is a big plus for me. The soundcard/audio quality is also very very good.

Add to that 4 deck capability and the massive range of other features and I think in it's price range it is unbeatable.

 

I suppose the next step up would be the MC6000. An excellent controller but to my eyes it offers nothing that the 4.1 doesn't. I saw one demoed at a local NADJ meeting but unfortunately I didn't get chance to have a play although I would imagine the jog wheels would be of a higher quality.
