Reviews for Vestax Spin2 DJ/VJ USB and iOS Controller

It works with the DJ Player app as well, which extends this unit to 6 cue/loop points per deck and momentary reverse.

share the view of many, a DJ MIXER without the ability to put a microphone to talk to the people at the track leaves much to be desired. I can not imagine a dj to do just mix. the design is very good, really good, meets all the expectations of a DJ, but leave the micro out was a big mistake. Anxiety wait with every day that take out a micro version, I like this design and I'm the first to buy it. Thanks ... but need to put the micro ... no dj may make a wedding hehe

I just purchased the Spin 2 and absolutely love it. The integration using the Djay software and itunes allows you to use your playlist seamlessly. The Fx and dedicated knobs is a big plus for me since I utilize those feature to fade out tracks. The track scroll is great which allows you to scroll through a track and cue point it. The cue points, sampler, and loop banks are laid out excellent which helps me trigger different options when I'm mixing. My favorite feature on the Spin 2 is the docking port. I can dj with my iphone or iPad. This was an excellent decision and a great investment. =)

I got my Spin 2 today and was filled with excitement until I discovered one major flaw. This unit does not have a input for a mic. C'mon man, what's a Dj without his or her mic? Please consider the following before buying:

Good
1. Better overall layout than previous model (sample buttons, scratch buttons, scroll feature, etc)
2. Better sound than previous model
3. Nice visibility in the dark
4. Very compact

Bad
1. No mic input as on the previous model
2. Platters are a step down from the previous model (my opinion)
3. No automix button as on the previous model (could be set manually)
4. No XLR connection
5. No external input options (handy in the event the unit crashes while in session)

If not for the mic issue, I would have rated this unit a 4.5 stars and I would have been fairly satisfied with my purchase. Unfortunately, I will be returning this unit tomorrow.

I just got mines today,and must say not bad. It's all plastic but built solid. I use it with my iPhone and mini ipad,had to buy the 30 pin adaptor for my mini ipad which works fine and charge up your ipad too which is good. It respond very well with djay&vjay. My only two down for is that the power plug come off easy,so you really need to be careful. And the other it's pretty pricey. But over all not bad good job vestax!
