Get the tactile feel of spinning records with the convenience, quality and precision of digital media.
All of the media and CD players we offer give you the ability to scratch and mix live or in-studio. You get lots of control in a package that’s small and durable enough to conveniently carry anywhere you want to perform.
You can load both - traditional audio CDs or MP3 files – and apply a number of effects on the fly.
And contrary to popular belief, these systems don’t require that you record your data to CD. They also often support data input from a number of other sources such as external hard drives, MP3 players or USB thumb drives. Many newer systems also support MMC and SD memory cards.
The growing trend amongst professional DJs is moving towards more computer assistance in their compositions. For this reason, it would be a good long-term investment to also select a device with “PC mode” capability that can integrate seamlessly with your mixing software. (Should you ever decide to go that route later on)
If you’re definitely going to be using computer software with your device, you should also look for a device that can control the software directly from the console. This way, you don’t have to go back and forth between you CD/Media player and your computer when composing.
Likewise, MIDI capability is another good feature to look for, since it can allow you to control the mixer functionality from your computer. You’ll be able to assign a function in your DJ software to almost any button or dial on your console.
Large, easy-to handle controls and brightly-lit LED displays make it easy to operate these devices in environments with poor lighting conditions.
If you plan on combining different media, you might want to select a single-unit controller. But if you plan on going 100% digital with your kit, you’d have a lot to gain from selecting a fully integrated system with 2 mixers/CD players.
For professional DJs, these digital systems can pay for themselves quickly. Since you don’t have to lug huge boxes of vinyl around, you can perform more shows and make more money. And in case of a disaster, an external hard drive is much easier to replace than your priceless vinyl collection. For this reason, it’s considered by many working pros to be a great investment.
