The Great folks at Serato,

Hi,

Recently, I was contemplating on getting either the Akai AMX/AFX combo or the Traktor Z2 mixer since they were both within the same price range. So I went with the Akai AMX/AFX combo because I've been using Serato since 2007 and was more comfortable with its layout. Also, it's portable design was an influencing factor.

Then, after trying it out, I've realized that the no visual reference for the endless rotary Gain knob is really bugging me out. It was affecting my mixes especially when doing a quick transition and the volume dips and I'm trying to push the gain back up and I don't feel where I'm at. It makes achieving a "perfect sound leveling" set almost impossible.

Doing a short set with it, is ok, in a sense where the adjustments are not obvious but when doing long hour sets, the leveling issues will definitely be obvious.

So I started a thread on the forum and realized that there were others that felt the same way as me.

Please see the thread:

So I'm wondering if in the next updates of Serato DJ, will you guys be including a visual Gain/Trim view based on the mixer's Gain knob movement as a reference in Serato DJ anytime soon? It'll really help in achieving a better leveling control especially in a quick mix set where sometimes the next track that you're playing takes a dip in volume and you need to set it back to the right spot and "know" where you're at. The AMX users will definitely benefit from this.
