Hello All!

[CRAZY K]

Hello to many of my friends from across the pond.

I'm finding this site to be a wealth of knowledge and a solid site to experience the views of fellow DJs. I'm located in Tampa, Florida - USA

Hi there and welcome, as some of us have just bought the new American USB reader made by Cortex can you tell us if these type of products are popular over there in the States with DJs.

They look pretty useful once the music is set up correctly on hard drives.

Or are you more into laptops and CD players?

thanks

Controllers in general are used by many. Much like in the UK here some like them some don't. I've worked with several developers and as a beta tester for many hardware controllers, I was even an original Cortex beta-tester.

The developers of the Cortex unit are from your side of the pond.

I use vinyl, CD and Lossless audio files to mix at present.

Thats useful thanks for that--excuse my ignorance but what are Lossless audio files ?

Are they similar to MP3s?

thanks

Non compressed files as in WAV.

Thanks Darren.

Presumably used where Hard drive space is not an issue.

I don't use MP3's any longer which are Lossy audio files I use FLAC and WAV which are LossLess.

With the affordability of hard drives have full range audio is the way too go.

Just being nosey again, what sort of collection (in terms of numbers of tracks) do you carry?
