"Overall Review Of the Gemini CFX-30"

Feature:
One of the features i use the most are the 5 fly cues and 6 dsp effects. While setting a cue point, I make sure to set the correct point so later i press it and it goes to the cue point i settled before, pressing the cue button more than twice also makes a stuttering effect which allows me to Stutter the cue point before starting. The most useful dsp effects are the zoom (flange), brake, pan, echo and of course realtime scratch. The brake allows it to make a slow start or slow ending, soard of like true vinyl, but only with a push of a button, you may set the brake effect by moving the start and brake button(s) to select the fx effect. Another will be the echo effect, this is a cool feature. I usually use it while a pause or ending, it makes a stutter ending when a press pause on the track while the echo effect is still active.

Quality:
The product is made with a good body and buttons which will never seem to fall apart or off. One of the things i noticed while connecting it to the power outlet, I noticed the electrical cord wasan't tight enough, or at least that is how it seems. Another affect in this product is the eject slot, which is powered, and i have trouble in times to eject the cd, because it gets stuck, so i will recommend extended warranty in that aspect, otherwise, the rest of this product seems to work in excellent condition.

Value:
Well basically i wrote the price which was 272.58, well this happened because I have ordered the Gemini 1800x but since they were out of stock, i recieved the new cfx-30. The price for this product isin't expensive and is affortable. the price of this product consists of the features it does and the quality Of this product. The price is worth paying, the Product is worth the price.

Desirability:
Not only is the look of this product appealing, but the features are as well. The features make this product worth more than the looks. I will recommend anyone with experience and non-experience to purchase this product, only if you are looking for serious mixing and features.

Sound:
The sounds will be like any digital compact disc player, although the effects increase the sound for a better Sound or for a better re-mixing once playing.

Support:
In this subject i have not enough comments from the company, although the warranty still seems to be active and working. The store i bought it from does offer warranty and extended warranty in case of any damage or accidential damages to this product. Meanwhile the product still works in excellent, there is no need to contact the company.

Overall:
This product is a very serious mixing tool with easy use as well. I won't replace this product for another one if i could. I would compare this product to other Gemini cd players, but the comparison is useless when it comes to this product. The best key to this product is mixing, re-mixing, and expirience. You will know what once owning this tool, regular music is just in the past, now you are asking for more than regular mixing, re-mixing.
