Acceptable entry-level device, but still a defective toy.

I'll start with the console itself. The build quality is OK, click the buttons when you press wrong, but are rather soft. If you're used to a CDJ or the like, this is a small change. The jog wheels are solid, but very small, so scratching, is impossible, at least for me. Both the knobs, and faders feel solid. One should mention at this point that there is a rotary encoder instead of a pitch fader. I will not be here to flare Kreig for or against the sync button again, but is one of the DJs who still manually beat you match, you will be with this Pitchknob sooner or later Kreigsfuß.

The Latzenz this console is for me (the 2009 iMac with Snow Leopard, but also tested on various Windows systems similar configuration) is not acceptable, it is partially felt at 60-80 milliseconds, which means that you press almost a quarter beat before the play button , in order to achieve the desired result. Equally useless are allegedly the clock flashing Synctasten. These do more or less what they want, but are by no means something that you can orient Center.

The sound card, and that is in my opinion the biggest shortcoming, sounds absolutely miserable. No matter how you use them, be it through a pair of Beyerdynamic DT-770 Pro (80 ohms), or a pair of Mission 750, both by a JVC AX330 Amp, tested course with WAVs, the quality is absolutely unacceptable. The sound is dirty and clearly digital. With accurate reproduction of this part has absolutely nothing to do. In addition, a clearly audible buzzing that I, no matter what I tried, could not wegzubekkomen.

For Software: Why Atomix Productions arrogates to market these code snippets as a professional DJ software, is beyond me. Virtual DJ is an absolutely miserable written program: On any of my Macs does the built-in file browser, it crashes repeatedly heard and after 2 weeks on display any text. (The only thing was the 'competent' Service of Atomix Productions me antwrortete meant that I had allegedly tagged my music wrong, although absolutely every display in VDJ had become useless, so it clearly could not lie to the day.) I would in a club rather hang with a potato, as with this absolutely unreliable program. It's no wonder that there is use of experienced DJs, the tractor, or Serato, is ridiculed. The only power that has volbracht Atomix is ​​a colossal sales Hinters Light guiding potential customers who think they are equipped with this program for a Club.

But in the end it's all about the console.

There are also a few good sides. If you're not sure whether you have found in laying a suitable hobby, so this console is certainly an acceptable entry-level solution to familiarize yourself with the basic concepts. And with the provided presets for tractor she works so quite ok. A switch to a software, no matter what, just to get away from Virtual DJ is relatively easy.

Club Suitable but it is still not so.
