Anyone have a list, recommendation, etc. I have an SZ and an RZ but need smaller for small bar. I have a ddj-800 and and HATE the software control.

DDJ-1000 SRT comes to mind, since you said 2 other pioneer controllers

Hardware control, not software takeover.

DDJ-1000 SRT is hardware (as SZ and RZ)
DDJ-1000 is software

Not much these days...
Almost all new controllers are now using software mixer.
All controllers released for Rekordbox are using software mixer for the last 3 years.
Also MOST controllers released for Serato are either hybrid (a strange combination of software/hardware mixer) or software.
As far as I know, DDJ-1000SRT is the only recent controller released with a pure hardware mixer.
PS: When I said hybrid above I don't mean controllers like RZ that you can switch between software and hardware mixer according to your liking. I'm talking about a combination of doing the mixing in software level, but sending the sound of each deck independently on the controller.
PS2: The only recent units I know off, that have hardware mixing mode, are battle or club mixers and not controllers

Thank you Phantom. I just cannot deal with these software mixers and the loss of real volume control. I am so used to my sz and rz being just load and go. Fighting deck volume levels every single song, twisting a damn gain knob every song, that is such bullshit.

We have discussed this in the past.
Have you tried to disable autoGain but KEEP the gainSliderIncludesAutoGain setting active ?
(And try RZ with software mixer)

I know its older, does the Denon MC 6000 do what you are looking for?
Inviato Tue 30 Mar 21 @ 7:38 pm
You do get used to software mixing assuming you use the correct settings.
I used to have the MC6000 and absolutely hated software mixing but after a few gigs it made no difference.
