![]() This was essentially a cheap, plastic unit a lightweight, toy-like thing. It crashed a couple of times, but I always had some vinyl lined up “just in case”.Īfter a few weeks, though, it started to irk me.

To say it blew my mind was an understatement – to be able to control music like that was totally new to me. I was working for IDJ magazine at the time (end of 2004) and they sent me this to review.

Your controller is probably the most important choice you’ll make when it comes to DJ equipment, and it’s an intensely personal one. That means a laptop, a controller, and anything else that will fit in the pockets and compartments of your DJ trolley, backpack or shoulder bag, such as headphones, soundcard etc. Here at Digital DJ Tips, our ethos is simple: DJing should be done digitally, and you should be able to fit all your DJ gear in a bag.
