well,
it's been about a week and i have to say i'm very satisfied with my purchase.
I haven't been able to get it working properly with traktor, but like Blake said, VDJ is good enough to learn the basics on. That said, i'm already finding that there are functions i wish i had that it does not accommodate.
I was having a hard time at first with beatmatching and transitions, but that was because i was messing around with a friend's music on his machine. ;p
Once I got some trance loaded up everything felt much better. ^_^

Try this out. It's what I used for mapping Traktor.

Make a mix and post it!

So, I've been having a very slight delay/glitch in audio playback once every few seconds. I opened the console from the menu bar and the options to change the buffer rate are grayed out.
anyone know what may be causing this?

Go to the RMX's menu and make sure that in the bottom left that "asio" is selected. That should give you the ability to adjust the sample rate and buffer size.
