  • but I decided the quality was worth it since it's the one I use for the output, and I use my laptop's built in sound card for the headphones.
  • If anyone know why this the sound quality is like this, please advise....

Reviews around sound (5.00 of 5)

  • In virtual DJ go to CONFIG (with the external usb sound card attached and working of course) use the drop down menus to pick and choose the appropriate sound cards for use with speakers and headphones)
  • Combined with the right skills, and the right sound system, the audience will not know the difference between this mp3 controller and a more professional set up.
  • The sound works well, but I would definitely recommend using a good sound card (I can hear noise as I move the faders with the one I currently use).
  • I mainly just use Traktor to create continuous mixes for myself, and occasionally for shoutcasting, so I just wanted something simple but with enough knobs to create clean sound and transitions

Reviews around knob (5.00 of 5)

  • It feels like the knobs and body of the device are made of solid durable plastic
  • The (high, mid, low) knobs are solid, but sometimes feel a little too stiff to turn quickly
  • It feels sturdy, and the knobs and sliders are all solid.
  • The knobs feel really good,especially the jog wheels which are top notch

Reviews around dj (5.00 of 5)

  • It comes with everything you need to make it work on pretty much every PC: 64-bit drivers, Virtual DJ (which really isn't essential as Virtual DJ is free, but you know), and even a little guide on how everything works for the complete beginner
  • If you are not looking for hands on action with the jog wheels, this is a great DJ system for beginners, or to add to a pro's set, it makes a great midi.
  • If your a bigginer dj or just learning now this is a good dj set for you to have
  • I think it is good for the beginner dj as well as a house party dj
  • It's very solid, and as a dj for 8 years, I find it very easy with VirtualDJ.

Reviews around feature (5.00 of 5)

  • I am completely sold, and I plan to eventually upgrade to a more PRO style mixer, but for now I am making mix-tapes that my friends love and just enjoying finally being able to really listen to my massive digital music catalog!The best features for me are probably the ability for the software to read the songs BPM, and the mixers ability to sync the BPM's of the two songs together with the "Sync" button.
  • this thing is really good and all the features it has are amazing
  • monitoring)and you are ready to DJ (assuming you have laptop, music and speakers).-Fast response, not noticeable delay between pressing play and the start of the music.-Intuitive software, bpm counters and graphical display of music that will make it easy for beginners (like me) to start beat-matching.-Backlit buttons is a nice feature

Reviews around version (4.26 of 5)

  • You can download the free version of Virtual DJ and get more features then the Virtual DJ it comes with
  • Only downside was the generic version of Virtual Dj it came with, but understanable when the full version is $250.DJing For
  • If you ever get the free version, don't upgrade to anything else
  • I bought Virtual DJ Pro and it is the almost exact same as the free version
  • I recommend getting Virtual Dj software, it comes with basic version, but the ful version is easier to use, and has more options

Reviews around mixer (4.03 of 5)

  • I've dallied with many combinations of DJ software for the past 13 years all of which have been good, but always show their short comings relatively quickly as to why they would not be reliable or suitable to use as a replacement to a bulky CD/Mixer Case or Rack for mobile gigs
  • but this product was so easy to install and the mixer was easy to figure out after playing with it for a little im the guy whos always off beat but this item is really helping me out its tons of fun and very user friendly now if i were just any good i would be even happier
  • the body is made of tough ABS plastic which is a good thing considering I was looking for a compact, light, portable mixer I could bring to gigs
  • For the cost, you cant expect too much and this mixer could be better, but it could also be a lot worse

Reviews around software (3.99 of 5)

  • Instead of paying extra $100 I better of buy myself something higher end than this that comes already with good software
  • There are other software packages that work with midi controllers.
  • Its an OK product, like his review says its for unexperts and pro, very easy to handle but useful software
  • The software that comes with it, is very good and easy to use
  • All of this ( except sound card problem) may be caused by poor software

Reviews around unit (3.39 of 5)

  • I think part of the reason was because my unit was defective to begin with (broken pitch knob), so we'll see if my replacement unit doesn't have the same issue.== Other Thoughts =
  • I don't see me using any other product until I advance to the next level and find the right unit for djing.
  • Gave it 3 stars because of Poor software not the unit itself
  • The unit itself is downright sexy from a few feet away, but get up close and you'll see that it's ALL plastic.
  • This unit is well built, easy to use - and exceeded my expectations
