Whether you’re a professional or just starting out, this stylish device will cut down on the hassle of hauling heavy equipment to and from the scene.
Some jobs call for the heavy duty stuff, and that’s understandable. But some nights you just need to chill with not much more than your iPad, and get the party started right quick. When transportation and roadie assistance are an issue, that’s when this little guy becomes your lifesaver.
There’s also an Automix feature that basically means the show can run on autopilot if the captain has to leave the pit and schmooze with his lady attendants.
Designed with the essentials, the turntable wheels are big to let you scratch vinyls as only an itchy DJ could. The iPad screen will make a mirror image of what’s going on down on the wheels, while allowing you to manipulate your playlists. You can load your beats to decks A or B, access music on the internet, and record as you mix in real time.
One pro that could be a con: the device runs off the juice of the iPad. Great because you’re not running around looking for a power source, bad if you’ve forgotten to fully charge the iPad.
Can’t call this item a splurge for all it has to offer. The Numark iDJ Live will only set you back £79.99 if you pre-order at Firebox and it is available at Amazon.com from $91.75.
For all the money you’ll be saving, why not treat yourself to a set of Swarovski Crystal DJ Headphones?
