The Numark OMNI Control is a DJ control surface that has audio inputs and outputs for connecting to your sound system.  Unlike many of it’s competitors, this controller is actually housed in a rugged metal case, so it is definitely going to stand up better to the regular abuse of taking it on the road several times a week.  It also has some weight to it – weighing in at 7lbs – which helps to keep it in place for those who like to really rip it up!  (more…)

Well 2008 has definitely been an interesting year without doubt! And I use the term interesting with a modicum of sarcasm. Anyway, this holiday season has been quite busy so I have not had a lot of time to write many articles during the month of December. However, starting next year – which just so happens to be a few hours away – I have plans to write quite a few more product reviews, more articles and even hooking up with the DJ Idea Sharing Podcast Network crew in order to get some more podcasts recorded.

In addition to all that, I also announced a few weeks ago that I am working on putting together a 2009 Technology Tour starting with my trip to Mobile Beat Las Vegas in February – as more speaking dates become confirmed I will post them here. If you are interested in having me make a presentation to your group, please use the Contact Me page.

Here’s to a prosperous 2009!

Just when you though that the design dream-team at Denon couldn’t top their already considerable accomplishments, they turned around and surprised the DJ Industry again with another top-notch innovation.  Specifically I am referring to one of their newest releases, the Denon DN-HC4500.  And there are a number of features and characteristics that make this a unique controller over it’s cousin, the Denon DN-HD2500.  (more…)

The DN-HD2500 by Denon DJ, is a hard drive based media and dual CD deck controller that was first unveiled in 2006.  This “nerve center” readily lends itself to being the most pivotal piece of gear in your entire system, especially if you use it in conjunction with a Computerized Performance System.  With 40GB internal storage capacity, the HD2500 can easily perform the task of backup too should your dual CD deck go on the fritz and/or your CPS craps the bed – making the switch to a backup as seamless and quick as it can get!  (more…)

I will be writing reviews about our favorite toys, DJ Gear!  Most of the articles will focus on computer related gear, but there will also be a few others about some of the more popular alternatives too – stay tuned!
