Customer Reviews
great for what it is, but not perfect, yet.
Wonderful item, it does what it says it does. Out of the box, installation was less than 10 mins with installation of the software and drivers. I was up and running and after figuring out some of the functions that weren't that well described in the manual, pretty soon it took me back to the old days when I used to mix vinyl records. The problem is that the jog dials, though very responsive, aren't accurate enough for the scratching motions needed for turntablist hip hop scratching. You can scratch and do pullbacks and do some scratch tricks, just don't expect to be mixmaster mike with this fader. There is a little latency from the movements of your wrist and the actual sound coming out of the speakers. For fading in between songs it is fine, and for minimal scratching it is ok at best. Otherwise, for everything else, it is a wonderful toy for the hobbyist dj, you can loop, sample and add effects with ease. But smoke and mirrors aside, professionals should definitely look elsewhere, and they wouldn't be reading up on something like this anyway with their purist attitude.
Excellent product
Having the proper mixer is one of the most important equipments for a mobile Dj. This is that mixer. I initially bought the Hercules MKII, but returned it when I found this one for $80 dollars more. It's been fantastic and user friendly. Using Virtual DJ, you can program up to 12 different effects((6 per deck). I use it for mobile gigs and all I bring is my laptop, hard drive, powered(pre amped) speakers, and this mixer...then I'm good to go. You can even control your music videos and of course Karaoke. I've even used this mixer to plug into the club(that I guest DJ at) and it has worked great. Other Dj's compliment me on the mixer once they try it. I don't use it for scratching, I plug my cd decks to the mixer though and do the scratching through them. Yes, you can plug either turntables or CD decks. Again, A Must for mobile DJ's.
Good stuff!!
I lost cd with drivers and the virtual dj before installing it. Called the technical assistance, great guys offered to send me by mail if I provided a picture of the equipment plus a proof of purchase. Unnecessary because I easily downloaded on their site the drivers and also the .tsi for traktor. In a couple of minutes it was working perfectly with the traktor, extremely low latency, and what seemed to be a task to accomplish was just a plug-and-play. Midi mapping also doesn't seem to be hard at all. Hope this beauty is stable and lasts long. Ah, it is small (~ the width of a macbook 13"), just a bit heavy, buttons are hard plastic - could be a bit softer but they are still good, and you just won't believe how all this machine can be fed just by an usb cable.
It's so far a very very good product, of course it could be better but you can't expect a Xone4d for this price. What seems to be a competitor of this console is the Vestax VCI-300, can be better and come with serato instead of vdj but it costs more than twice the price.
