i dunno bout bcd but i use vci and audacity (the software to do the recording), im using mac instead of windows, so im not sure whether audacity could work on windows or u should check other programs.

also because my audio interface doesnt provide any recording line, so i used an external mixer and plug the recording line to the line-in on my laptop. yeah, it works, but the sound isnt perfect. haha..

vci has been working well for me, you will find yourself relabeling all the features and midimapping them the way you want, scratch wheels arn't great but your mainly buying the thing for the buttons. In bass heavy environments you may need a cloth or foam under it to stop the unit from firing off from vibrations.

Haven't used the 3000 but i had a Behringer mixer and I won't go near the brand ever again.

overall it is worth it for a solid digital gear like vci (personal opinion, hehe).. i used to own bcd2000, and i dont think it could beat vci.. but for sure it will cost u more (+ the soundcard)..

I bought one on the weekend and nearly got the DJIO card but spent a little more and got a novation nio instead.
Ive never had a Numark and probably never will, their products just feel cheap and plastic and i know 2 people who have each had their ttx's drop dead as well as a Numark mixer

I just ordered a VCI-100 over the weekend... I spent a lot of time researching into the VCI-100 and was originally actually looking at the Berringer 2000, followed by the Numark's Total Control.

The VCI-300 looks good but more than what I want to spend and I cant be bothered waiting - Plus I also bought the NI Audio Kontrol 1 for production purposes as well as to match up with the VCI-100, so no need for paying for the extra soundcard in the VCI-300.

I can't wait!!!

And thanks for the tip re: cloth/foam, djryley.

just did a quick search in google(au) and found:

djwarehouse.com.au: $1,050
storedj.com.au: $1,099
spankrecords.com.au: $$1,299

obviously still pre-order! i guess the included serator software and implementation as well as the soundcard will make it worth it... i just don't need it.

Its tempting to buy one of these, how much better is the VCI100 in terms of build quality and cound quality are they over the behringer 3000?

u could see from the price though,, the price of vci is worth its quality.. XD
