I am a semi professional house/techno/disco DJ and was looking for something small to take with me when I travel or for after parties/cookouts. I usually play out on a set of turntables with Serato DJ Pro or CDJs but I keep this in my bag now as backup in case something goes wrong with the main rig. Between the looping/hot cues and the bass/filter knob you can put together a really solid mix if you know what you are doing. Use it to record quick mixes and do set prep as well. Pretty well made considering how cheap it is. Pads are the hard clicky variety but are accurate. Sounds decent plugged into a small set of speakers. Could go into a small mackie mixer out to a PA system in a pinch if your main rig self destructs. Highly recommended!
