After my traditional 19inch rack mount dj board died a week and a half before a very important gig I was left with a decision to make of investing in another board or investing in a controller. I had my eyes on several controllers, read and read and read and watched videos and noone said anything negative about this controller. I hadn't owned any Gemini DJ products for several years. I started as a mobile dj in the mid 90's and my first traditional rack mount board was a gemini. Then I bought another Gemini Mixer and i gigged tons (80 weddings a year plus 2 nights a week in a club for 3 years) with them and they held up well. I decided that I would be going back to Virtual DJ (after using another major dj software for years) and then decided on the Gemini G4V. I received the box on thurs late morning and had a gig sat night. My gig went from playing 2 hours to 6 hours because the band I was booked with wasnt allowed to play at he facility. So here I am 2 days before a 6 hr gig with a new controller and a bundle of nerves. I took it out of the box and was immediately impressed, the build was solid, nothing lose, nothing felt cheap, i followed all instructions to make sure all drivers and firmware etc was up to date. Then the real test, I plugged it in and bam.....this thing was awesome, responded immediately when I hit buttons, scratched and everything else. Blew me away! I took it to my gig and used it for 6 hours straight, not one hick up, it performed flawlessly. My system sounded great, had to tweak my EQ a little but thats to be expected, solid full rich sound, solid all metal build, and solid performance! I had the dance floor rockin all night! I would recommend running it into a mixer if you need a clear sounding mic and make lots of announcements. But all the expensive controllers have the same issues with mics. Being a mobile dj its not unusual to run 2 to 4 mics per gig. For music, mixing, build quality, this thing cannot be built. The G4V is a game changer in my opinion. Great for a first choice, a second choice back up or a side set up. Only negative was that it came witj virtual DJ 7 LE. Wouldve been nice to have had it ship with an LE of version 8. But thats VDJ not Gemini.

I bought this controller in December 2015, here we are mid March 2017 and its still performing flawlessly. I've used it with a PC and a Mac and it still performs gig after gig. Solid build quality, all the buttons are holding up well, jog wheels are still in great shape. I love the fact that I have lights for each channel and for the main out. Ive had to use the aux in a few times and well, that didnt sound the best but it got me by in the situation. The Controller is still responsive, and I have thrown down some great mixes and no one knows its a Gemini.. lol A few times people thought I had a Pioneer until they got close and noticed it was a Gemini... I have a few friends that picked a few of these units up as back ups but then decided to use them as their main controller. Sound quality doesnt sound cheap, buttons are still all working flawless, I cant say enough about the value of this controller, it has held up to a lot of gigs, weddings, corporate parties and even clubs and it just keeps delivering for me. You can spend 4 times more or you can save a ton of money and have a great controller that will deliver and sound like you spent over a thousand dollars! The choice is yours, but as for me, I do not regret buying this controller. Its paid for itself 10 fold and it will keep going and going like the energizer bunny,

This is my first time using this controller. I have enjoyed this product so far and has been an easy transition to perform at my gigs. It arrived on time with no damage. I've enjoyed using Gemini products and am impressed of the quality and make.

The g4v has a lot of great features it could be a little bigger in size because some of the controls are a little cramped. I noticed when playing two tracks and scratching on one at times there is a lag. Over all, the controller is a great value.
