Ion Audio has released a new video gamey DJ controller for the incredible price point of $92 (at Amazon). Sporting an (almost) all plastic construction, it’s the real thing– being a fully capable MIDI controller that is compatible with Virtual DJ, Traktor, Mixxx, etc.
Given that the majority of DJ’s I see today make full use of their laptops, this is probably an awesome way to get started on mixing. Has everything you need to learn the essentials!
