As usual, Mojaxx is spot on. My experience is exactly the same -occasional dodgy cue drift (and even then, only slight, and not always), but for the most part, very stable and dependable. Prior to HID update the cue drift was a deal breaker for me, so I parked 'em and waited. Since the HID update, I'm actually using my Phase now, and loving it! Thanks for all the hard work MWM

I really appreciate this update Mojaxx! I've been eagerly following the Phase DJ updates over the years, and it does seem like most of the issues have been sorted. It's still hard to justify a purchase since I have a bunch of cartridges and spare styli. But if I had the money to throw at it, it would definitely take a lot of potential issues out of using turntables as DVS interface. The big one is eliminating the need to isolate the turntables really well to avoid feedback. Another is not worrying about condition of turntables/cables/grounding causing noises. Another is not wearing out styli or getting your headshell connector pins dirty sticking into spit-filled tonearms - IF you don't plan to play any real vinyl. The price has seemed to go down a little (at least in Australia) recently, it's still a bit too expensive for me but it's on the wishlist. The only downside I see with Phase.. a bigger target for theft at the club. I'd be keeping a close eye on my bag/gear or putting it behind the bar if I had phase, more so than styli which are a bit harder to resell.

Phase is a weird one for me. A friend let me borrow it and I am vinyl only mixing Techno/electronic music. I don't like CDJs so this is a compromise, but without a controller mixer this isn't the smoothest experience especially when cuing up a new track. Vinyl DVS systems in Absolute Mode allow you to cue like you would with normal vinyl, but then you struggle with feedback, dirt, stylus and more. For home use it's nice not having to worry about messing up my stylus when I'm DJing with a few too many alcoholic beverages. I use it with Mixx btw, since I don't have the money for any other software.

I have the latest version of Rekordbox 6.6.4 which doesnt have the option to push the line signal in the DVS setting (there is nowhere to select phono or line) - everything is set up correctly, RCAs into line in channel 1 and 2 and I am in relative mode and I also pay for the sub allowing DVS (works fine with needles and timecode vinyl - just no Phase signal whatsoever.) I am using a DDJ XZ - again everything works as it should with DVS and Rekordbox DVS vinyl just not picking up Phase at all. I dont want to switch to Serato so may return the product - can you help at all. Thanks, Matt

Everyone wants to be a DJ but 1200's are what separate the skilled from the posers, why? because its difficult. But this is the start of things to come, as companies like Virtual DJ are already talking about imbedding AI into their Software / Hardware to replace Human interaction and this makes it easy for all to be a so called DJ. which of course spells profit and the fall of the true Art Form....

@@rogerdjs Funny Im so used to mixing vinyl that I find digital mixing harder, the feel of cog wheel is just different, I just ride the 1200s pitch fader, not so easy when the track has tempo changes ! Im thinking of trying DVS to keep the same feel. Where the modern technology helps is things like auto loops or hot cues. I have all these records where extending them out requires either 2 copies - not always possible, or I used to use a Roland SP808 with banks of my fav beats, labour intensive and can kill the spontaneity. Speaking of the true art, not sure of your preferred styles but I think some of the highest art in some WBLS mixed tapes from the likes of Tony Humphries, Roman Ricardo from late 80s early 1990s, would be 3-4 deck madness, so much going on in them. That was one of the things that inspired me to leave Australia and live in NYC/NJ for a few years. Saw Tony Humphries at Zanzibar in NJ a few times !
