Title says it all, really.
Some people seem to want a controller that shows all the information they need so they hardly ever need to look at the screen. Perhaps these people come from a standalone background where the “controller” is the only piece of equipment to look at?
And some people seem to prefer spending most of their time looking at the screen - for example they aren’t happy when controller moves are not visible on the screen (see the latest discussion around the channel gain knobs). Perhaps these people have always DJ’ed with laptops/tablets?
Personally I like the idea of only using the screen for selecting tracks, while for everything else I like to look at my controller (DDJ-800). But I also understand that DJay Pro has a very clean and attractive GUI and shows visual information very clearly - and quite often it can show information that cannot be shown on your controller.
So let’s have a poll! Are you a screen-looker or a controller-looker (when not looking at the crowd or your drink, of course)? No sitting on the fence on this one (you can’t choose both), you must have a preference…
- I prefer to look at the screen
- I prefer to look at the controller
