There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
The jogs are awesomely functional. They are touch sensitive (i can hold the unit upside down and activate the platters). They are also as smooth as butter, and amazingly sensitive when it comes to their scratch performance.
The current packed-in software (Mixvibes Cross LE) is great for beginners/intermediate djs, even some pros might prefer it. But the great thing about the Discover DJ is that it's also a MIDI device that can be used with any dj software that supports a midi controller (NI Traktor, Virtual DJ, Mixxx, DJay, and others), with a bit of mapping.
As either a beginner system or a backup for a pro, i think the unit is awesome for the price. no bells and whistles, just the basics with great jog wheels. I let my nieces and nephews scratch away on it, not worrying about it getting damaged. I plan on attaching guitar strap locks to it, so i can hang it around my neck and play it like a guitar.
Also for best results with audio performance, one should use an external audio interface with the Discover DJ (it doesn't include one - it's only a controller). If one has to use their computer's onboard audio, download ASIO4all (Windows only) for best performance.
Highly recomend after reading somewhat mixed reviews, but I have not been dissapointed. Also, the software update corrected a small issue with the response from one of the tables, hardware works just fine, may have been the problem in a review that someone left complaining about something simmilar.

I didn't have high expectations for this thing seeing its a $60 plastic mixer that has very little functionality on it so I was amazed when I was upset with my purchase. If this product actually worked I would say it would be a good toy for a child that you want to get into DJing or whatever, I'm not a parent, I don't know what you people do with your kids. But seeing how the product doesn't work with the software I'd avoid buying it.
Also, assuming that something is faulty on my end, (which I've searched high and low on the internet to figure out a solution) I'd also like to say that this device isn't that great. The 2 times that it did work there wasn't much to do with it. You could select music by scrolling with the mixer as oppose to pointing and clicking which would be a lot faster and you could try to mix in a song with the jog wheels but they don't work very well.
I definitely wouldn't recommend this to any "beginning djs" and I'm upset with the people who did. If anything you could buy this for a kid but make sure it works before you do.
