Mixvibes Cross Le Dvs

02.01.2021

Jun 24, 2009 By Mike Charles On a cold rainy New England day, I fired up the latest vinyl control system from MixVibes known as CROSS. This is one of the newer DVS systems on the market and DJ TT decided to tap yours truly for a review. The first thing I noticed was how small the packaging. Using MIXVIBES Cross LE DVS system? The soundcard routing needs to be reconfigured internally before you use this option. see p19 of the XONE:23C User. Mixvibes introduces Cross DVS, a pack with its flagship pro DJ software, Cross + 2 control vinyls. It works with any soundcard and mixer, and is only $149. Open: Works with your audio interface.

Jan 21, 2014 After doing an admirable job playing catch-up last year, Mixvibes Cross 3 gives the others something to catch-up to: a well-appointed video DJing feature set with plenty of flexible mixing options, effects, recording and video sampling slots. If you’ve considered adding video to your DJ sets, you owe it to yourself to read all that Cross 3 can do.

I’ve read good things about MixVibes Cross DJ (this review* is very compelling; beatgridding across a wide range of styles in particular) which is included with the FirstMix Pro. As I understand it the LE version that comes with this is the same as the full version, only it’s married to the FM Pro. However, the jog wheels aren’t dual control which is kind of a big deal.
The free upgrade to Serato DJ with the combo purchase of the Mixtrack Pro v1 and the Akai LPD8 seems a great deal and the Jog wheels are Dual control.
The U-Mix Control v1 comes with the full version of Cross DJ, tightly integrated according to the review, and has dual control jog wheels.
Bottom line is I want the most versatile software and whatever entry level controller that suits it best.
Just like everyone else, I guess. ðŸ™‚

I use Cross (the full DVS version, but that is only relevant if you plan on using timecode). It’s great software, I love the workflow. I am mainly a mobile DJ, so beatgridding flexibly is an absolute plus!
Other nice innovations are key matching (works like a charm) and the way they implemented sync appeals to me too.
The software is (relatively) cheap. About 45 for Cross DJ and they claim the largest supported controller list in the business. That means you can uncouple the choice for controller and software. If you get Cross DJ (there might even be an update from your current LE version, I don’t know), you can then pick just about any controller you like (I am using Denon MC-6000, Denon SC-2900s and Denon X1600 mixer). The midi mapping works great too. No need to become a midi guru, just select function, move knob or fader and set a few extras if needed and presto!
So, Cross would have my vote. As for an entry level controller, that’s mostly a personal taste. Lots of opinions on here and reviews in the controller guide and over on the blog.

Terry_42 should be able to comment on that. One thing that would bother me, is that you need Serato suited hardware now. If you want to switch to better controller, your choice are limited to Serato suited controllers again.
the lure of the “open” platform Cross delivers appeals to me.

Well I use both Cross and Serato on my TM4.
Now Cross does work very well and has a different approach on many fronts, some refreshingly new and some quite awesome (key detection with camelot scale…).
However I have still a few minor gripes with Cross. The software is much more complicated layed out than Serato (prolly nothing for a Traktor user) but it could be simpler. There are some minor hickups that I run into ever so often.
Why I still prefer Serato?
Well since version 1.5 they eliminated every single issue I had with it. The slicer now works perfectly, the effects have bigger ranges (and more effects packs), the quality of the iZotope effects is unparalleled in any software I heard, the elastic beatgrid is working perfectly now and still Serato is simple to setup and use. It is just so natural for me to use, I do not even have to think it matches my controller perfectly (TM4) and even performing with unprepared tracks when you have to switch quickly etc.
The downside like Chuck says might be that you need certified hardware, but I see that as a plus. The integration between Serato and the TM4 and other controllers (I tested the Twitch, DDJ-SX and Mixtrack) is just excellent. I just love it.
I know the link is still active there but can anyone verify that the MTP1 + LPD8 upgrade deal still actually works? Has anyone done it recently? Â Want to make sure before I take the plunge because I don’t think I’d be picking up the LPD8 just now otherwise.
