The only thing I can say is that the microphone input is not great, but otherwise it works well and I use it with Virtual Dj and it works very well. For a first purchase of controller it is a small investment useful when you are a beginner with this kind of device.
The parcel was well received and perfectly packaged.
The first disappointment is the bundle which is non-existent! Nothing but a simple USB cable.
Then you have to go to the SERATO website to download the Dj lite version, after having first created an account (one more!) The mention "2 softwares included: Serato DJ Lite and DJUCED" in the product description is therefore false!
The software will install .net frameworks and will therefore require a reboot of the machine. In the end the software is really very basic, the interface is not pleasant and it will cost you at least 10 euros per month to have access to the "pro" version. Another subscription!
On the hardware side, the finish seems clean, but the faders look cheap, and they already have a bit of play. The layout of the elements is well thought out and offers a good ergonomics.
In the end, the console is rather well made, but the software is a mess and I feel like I was tricked! It is not recognized by NI Traktor either. The only other software that detected it immediately was Virtual DJ. ($19/month or $300 for a lifetime license).
