    Vestax for the People
    • Written by MR from Yankee Hill
    • Nov 9, 2009

    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.

    does exactly what it's supposed to do....
    • Written by JC from CLINTON TOWNSHIP
    • Nov 14, 2009

    I've been djing since the early 70's...I have seen our dj tools change dramatically over the years.....this controller is truly the best bargain, price wise and quality wise, for the money.....not exactly able to withstand everyday club use, but very capable of performing well for the one or two nights a week mobile jock, which I am now....remember, it still takes talent to work the crowd, and great dj's will find this tool to be a refreshing alternative to hauling around a lot more equipment...

    A ton of fun!
    • Written by WB from Honolulu
    • Nov 21, 2009

    I'm not a DJ but I love music and I have a ton of it. With this device, I'm able to make my own mixes, scratch, blend, and add effects. This is a great tool for somebody that loves to play around with music and isn't trying to be a pro. It's user friendly and fun to use. I give it 5 stars all the way! More

    Beginner, huh?
    • Written by DT from Manchester
    • Feb 3, 2010

    Some "DJ's" would lead you to believe that the Vestax Spin is merely a toy for beginners. While it certainly is a great introductory controller for the aspiring DJ, the Spin is capable enough to serve as part of a compact setup if you like to travel light (and who DOESN'T?), or as a backup. The price also makes it very attractive, considering the manufacturer...... which also explains why Apple Stores can't keep them on the shelves. More

    The software is Mac-only, but if you have Traktor or other MIDI-aware DJ software on your PC, you should be able to use this like any other sound card or MIDI device. More

  • do the decks actually spin?
    • Asked by JW from Portland
    • Nov 30, 2009
    Best Answer

    i actually found a video of the spin on the djay website, and it seems that the decks DO SPIN - BUT ONLY WHEN YOU SPIN THEM.
    so
    as the track is playing, they sit still, although when you go to manipulate the audio by touching the decks, they do move, you actually scratch or pause or slow or speed up the tracks by spinning the controller.

    while a full time spinning deck would be much more authentic and natural to control, i mostly was worried that it's be like some touch sensitive plate that you had to slide your fingers over, and i did not like the idea of that at all.

    so
    this product seems to fall right in the middle of my desires and expectations, it's basically a better interface than using the laptop track pad.

  • will a regular macbook work with this?
    • Asked by BK from Riverbank
    • Nov 23, 2009
    Answer

    According to the specs, all you need is Mac OSX version 10.4 or later. I'm pretty sure the MacBooks came with Leopard. If not, purchase Leopard. Basically, if you're up to specs, rock on, my friend! ROCK ON! More
