General
Your general opinion of this product.
Greatest mixer of all time and of the modern age. I personally think it's overpriced, but obviously I made the purchase anyways.
Value
Was this item an overall good value?
it was a good value, but it could have been a great value if the retail price was a bit lower. I'm thinking $1,399 would have been a good price point and start the 61 at $699-799

All Rane products have been made well and I always consider them dependable. Wouldn't use much else for my club nights.

There seems to a an improvement on the buttons as there were many complaints of the cue buttons on the Sixty-Eight being to hard or no responsive at times. I personally did not have these problems, but I also like using my Dicers for most of my cues. One really good thing about this, is the built in effects processor. I never was much of a fan of the effects built into Serato and having to be accessed through the laptop...At least to set your parameters anyway.

This is very easy to use if you are familiar with some of Rane's other Serato mixers. I own a TTM-57 and a Sixty-Eight...Coming from using a Sixty-Eight, I'm quite familiar with most of the features on this.
Sound
How is the tone?
Tone is great, just different from your Pioneer mixers a lot of people are used to....Rane's tend to be a little more "flat" with the EQ's at 12 O' Clock. They are designed this way. Love the sound!

Your general opinion of this product.
Rane makes a solid product and their support has always been oustanding. I pre-ordered mine and picked up as soon as it was delivered to the store by UPS. I DJ 3 nights a week at a very large night club and was really excited to get this out to the club. After doing a little research and I found that I needed to upgrade to SL 2.4.0 (disc included in box)however, doing so would not support my Video SL plugin. Serato video is being released this month (March 2012)so I am testing the Beta version of this and seems to be stable from what I can tell. I was a little disappointed, but I understand the issues. Other than that, completely satisfied!

As a regularly paid DJ, I say it is worth the money. To a bedroom DJ, it may be a little harder to justify spending the money.
