by ghostdad on November 22, 2010

We get a lot of questions at the warehouse about which controller a beginner should get when entering the controller DJ world.  The Numark Mixtrack Pro and the Vestax Typhoon are the heavy hitters in the entry level price range right now and I’ve seen a lot of debate in the forums about which one…

Allen and Heath Xone DX Video

by ghostdad on September 2, 2010

Our video for the Allen and Heath Xone DX is now live on the nets care of Winksound. Overall I had a lot of fun with the Xone DX. I was able to get mixing on four decks quickly and easily in ITCH, perhaps because I was already familiar with Serato Scratch. …

Hifana Hardware Up Close

by ghostdad on August 31, 2010

Japanese turntablist duo Hifana have some pretty good finger drumming chops of their own as they show in their live sets made up of MPC’s, turntables, and CDJ’s.  They keep Korg Kaoss Pads around for effects and even some live drums and drum pads to splash organic sounds into the mix.  The only MIDI specific…
