Reviews for Vestax Spin DJ USB Controller

As a DJ who spins VINYL I think this Device is teh Lamest thing on teh PLANET. If someone wants to Rock a House party then either stick with iTUNES or bring some TABLES.

Well I have played with this thing for a day now and I have to admit I was surprised at how good quality of a controller this is. The track pads are sturdy and it is easy to rest on your lap. Microphone is super sensitive but seems to work well. Arrow buttons on controller make it a breeze to cue up songs. Ability to play through computer speakers or audio out it has makes it very convenient as well. As stated the software only works with mac and it is very convenient and easy to use. This thing is very fun to play around with but I would never be seen with it in public like at a venue. All my friends have enjoyed using it as well. Think of this like a beginner instrument if you had been in band, it is great to learn on and at a good price to where you can find out if you should invest more money in better equipment down the road. I am happy with my purchase and will be buying 2 more for newly inspired friends. Very well thought out product.

Handling this thing is a dream: lightweight and compact enough rest it in my lap, DJ casually for friends, pass it around and everyone can basically figure it out. It really opens the doors to make DJing casual, fun, and ubiquitous. Getting it to sound good requires skill at selecting tunes and mixing them - same as DJing ever was. It's not built like pro-level gear which is designed to withstand heavy use, but it's still really nice for what it does - not simply a kid's toy as some pros suggest.

Djay & Spin are designed for Mac: refined to the point of being simple, elegant, beautiful, integrated with iTunes, and really works well - it doesn't have every feature in the book (and maybe misses some that pros may find important) - but it's straightforward, great to handle and use, and it does the job it claims to do very well.
