Reloop Mixage Interface Edition Controller

No longer available at zZounds
Great for beginners and veterans, this controller from Reloop is unbeatable at its size and price.

The perfect introduction to digital mixing: based on the famous Digital Jockey series, Reloop presents two compact controllers that do not make any compromises in quality and feel. Clearly structured and well arranged, the DJ will easily know his DJ moves - whether as newbie or advanced. The feature set is ideally laid out for Traktor LE and offers all the important features for rocking the party crowd!

Two touch-sensitive XXL jog wheels can be used either for scratching and pitch bending or for quick track searching. With the big transport section (play, cue, cup & sync) the track is quickly mixed and via shift function this section can also be used for triggering cue points. Thanks to the precise sync feature every blend-over is perfectly beat-matched and the DJ can focus on more important things such as creative remixing on the fly. Effects such as delay, flanger or reverb can be selected and manipulated with large encoders and knobs. A designated rotary control for filter (and pan) can be used for amazing high-pass and low-pass sweeps (HPF/LPF). The loop section comes with auto loop, manual in & out buttons, and a further encoder for rapid beat looping. The high-resolution 14 bit pitch fader and the illuminated pitch bend buttons round off the player section.

Besides 3-band equalizer and gain the classically arranged 2 channel mixer also offers an LED level meter and convenient MIDI data & power status lights. The large and handy Trax encoder makes digging in your music read more library and finding just the right track easy and fast. Master and headphones volume and the cue-mix function as high-performance fader are always at hand.

On the rear panel the LED background light and the jog wheels' sensitivity can be adjusted to one's own preferences. The shift lock switch is also a nice feature, as it can be used to activate the shift function in toggle or hold mode. A further highlight is the DJ Team switch: Two Mixage controllers can be hooked up to one computer. This way one DJ team can control four decks in one software without any MIDI command collision (Traktor Pro required).

A pre-configured Traktor LE version is already included; easily connected via USB and selected through the Setup Wizard you are ready to mix within minutes. Of course Reloop Mixage is also compatible with any other software that is enabled for MIDI control.

Reloop Mixage can be transported easily due to the compact shape and carried effortlessly in every gig bag. This slick controller is characterized by a plain user interface; everybody will quickly get along well with it. High-quality components including sturdy metal panels and a aluminium cover plate are almost unique in this affordable price range. Save your bucks - but don't save on quality!

DJs who do not possess a multi-channel soundcard should go for the Mixage Interface Edition. A professional multi-channel soundcard has been built in this version. Quickly connect your sound system and headphones for direct monitoring of your beats. The ASIO driver architecture gives you the lowest latency and fast mixing without any delay. A microphone connection on the front side has been integrated for hosts, MCs or singers. The Mic signal can be routed directly to master-out or to a computer for recording and the volume can also be adjusted directly.

"GERMAN ENGINEERING AT ITS BEST!!!"

Overall: 5 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
Verified Customer zZounds has verified that this reviewer made a purchase from us.
I decided to go with the Jockey III for these reasons: 1.EQ's have no center click. 2.Filter and effects share the same knob, you must press SHIFT for FILTER. 3.Effect control is limited to DRY/WET and AMOUNT. 4.Master and headphone level are not midi assignable (if you are using an external audio card). Checkout the Mixage Controller Edition if you need this. Build quality, design, features are all high-end, what you would expect from a PROFESSIONAL GERMAN company.

Sound
Excellent sound. I tested Mixage back to back against my $1500 RME soundcard, at 44.1kHz/16bit (resolution of this unit) and I could not tell the difference. Since most CD's are at this resolution, as a DJ, you've got it made.

Features
For the size and price, the features are unbeatable. It does just about everything the bigger ones do in a compact, lightweight setup. Jogwheels are super-nice with special grip surface (rubbery vinyl). Knob axles are steel. Knobs heads are plastic. Push-buttons are plastic, but very agile and responsive. Trax encoder is aluminum (black finish). My favorite features are: 1. the load A & B buttons which blink to the beat, showing whether the decks are in SYNC! 2. the mini-crossfader for HEADPHONE CUE is ingenious, as you can test your crossfade in your headphones first. 3. Filter knob has center click, to the left is LowPass, to the right is HighPass. 4. 4 Rotary encoders are also pushbuttons read more (I assigned the lower 2 to BASS KILL A & B since they were not assigned to anything.) 5. Volume LED's showing track A & B PFL's so you can pre-guess your gain level before the track is mixed in.

Ease of Use
Just install Traktor LE (or upgrade to Traktor PRO2) and GO! Very intuitive interface. Training videos on youtube - (RELOOPDJCOM)!!

Quality
Reloop is one of the few companies with superior build quality even for small, inexpensive units such as MIXAGE. Akai Pro, Roland, Vestax are examples of cheezy plastic controllers that once had pro-build philosophies, but have fallen into that cheap plastic marketing VOID. Keep it UP, RELOOP!!

Value
This unit FAR OUTWEIGHS THE COMPETITION AT THIS PRICE, or any price for that matter. The engineering under the hood is UNREAL!

Manufacturer Support
Never needed it, but Germans are generally on the ball.

The Wow Factor
If you think Porche is sexy, you will like Reloop products in general. The jogwheels are HOT with vinyl-etched inlays and logo!! Metal top/bottom and plastic sides with logo stamp. All knobs and faders have cush high-end feel. Volume LED's at this price got me drooling!
