There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
My sister got married a couple years ago. The wedding was amazing. My parents cried as my sister walked down the aisle and I was handing tissues to my cousins sitting next to me.
It was all beautiful experience. But the best part was the reception.
The DJ was playing all the songs that got me turnt and every single person on the dance floor went crazy.
That is when I realized that I wanted to quit my job as a researcher, and be a full on DJ.
This DJ set has been so much more useful than my other sets simply because of 2 things:
1. Portability
2. Simplicity
I have never had a problem carrying it with me and people even come around and ask me where I got it, and as to not increase competition I just tell them my dad got it for me.
It is also very simple to use. Even my 5 year old nephew could use it with ease. But on the other hand he is studying AP Bio so it’s pretty much comparing apples to oranges.
Anyways this is a great buy and don’t be fooled by peeps saying otherwise 🙏.
If this is compatible with the DJ software you use (double and triple check that) then it might be good for basic DJing (spinning at parties, weddings, etc). Bought it to replace a similarly-priced Numark DJ2Go that had a faulty plug and the company did not offer repairs or returns on.
