the v7's have built in effect controls and if you out grow the mixer you can update

no i'm saying, what advantage does the MIXER have

none what so ever.... you can use it with other equipment

yae but the x5/x7 is the missing part of the v7 puzzle
just ordered my x5 today and if you are into scratching the faders feels great

so basically if you see a better mixer then you will not lose out by not choosing the x5

None. It's basically the Numark DXMPro repackaged.

as said above

Exactly!!!!! This comment says it all.

@ kraal to me in my opinion i dont think there is a mixer better than rane and i currently own a rane ttm 57 i,ve allways been around rane but i think the 57 is a scratch live mixer and my v7,s are itch controllers so just to keep that beautiful marriage i,m gonna ride with the x5 plus i have a store credit @ i dj now that i want to use up LMAO .

dude your purchase of the x5 is a waste of your money :) The the rane works GREAT with the v7's. I say use your credit to get a launchpad or apc20 and mess around with ableton cause thebridge will be here soon

ttm 57 cost more than 2x the price of the x5!

Yeah true but he says he already owns th rane

well.... if u already own a rane, STICK WITH IT!!! it IS better!

kraal you did it again men you are like a big brother on itch men yo you convinced me men for real now am gonna have to cancel that order but thats cool i think thats probably the right decission @ ricky redz i see we play the same tunes nice saw that you tube video scratching the oldies reggae descent son.

I try

thanks @ tfraser :D!! do it every wednesday

a more fair comparison would be to the 56. The 57 includes the cost of all the serato bits.

isn't there a 56, 57 & 57sl ?? got my x5 last night :D

57 & 57sl is the samething

ttm 56s without serato & 57sl with serato ,How is that x5 ?

amazing!! i loved the dmx pro and to have one that matches my x5.... priceless :D

ok thats what i,m talking about that is the reason why i wanted to get my x5 that combination is a match made in heaven
