 Great Stuff March 13, 2009

I got this piece of kit because I needed a portable solution that I could fly with. I'm hoping I will be able to take it in its flight case as hand luggage.
I have been DJ'ing now for about 13 years (ouch!) and play mostly House and Drum n' Bass. I have owned most types of gear including direct drives & CD decks and currently own a set of Technics SL DZ 1200's which are great. I have to say, this unit is fantastic, and does not feel too much of a toy compared to the rest of the stuff I have used. I have about 10,000 tracks on my iPod, and having all these at your finger tips is a real treat. No more "oh, I really wanted to mix that in but its on the same CD/dub" :)
Its a simple interface and although the cross fader is limited in its adjustments, I actually quite like it. The center position provides a good balanced output unlike some faders which can be too noisy in the center.
Mixing on this thing is childsplay! Easier than anything else I have used. The jog wheels are not too sensitive, and you can give them a good spin if you need a large jog to sync up.
The librarian software is good, and I managed to process all my library in "fast" mode in about 10 minutes.
I have read some reviews which complained about the pitch adjustment being a bit wobbly. There is actually a calibrate option in the system's menu to fix this, so no worries there.
I'm glad I got the flight case, as the unit is fairly light, but in the case its great.
I have upgraded to the latest firmware, and touch-wood, have had no crashes or issues yet. I will however take perhaps another ipod to gigs, to plug into the line in, just in case.
I still have my 1200's set up, but have not used them since I got this about 2 weeks ago!

I have had this product for about six months now. I bought it as a complete novice to DJing and it is the ideal piece of kit for me as after the initial setting up all I need is my ipod and i can play away. I found it quite easy to use and am more than happy with my progress on it. An other review says its not really good enough for club use and i would agree. I haven't had any problems with it but i dont think its really that level of kit, though its good enough for bars and parties but you may want to consider the quality of your mp3's. Some effects would have been good but i suppose you could buy a add on unit if you really need them. I have the flight case and would recommend it. It is nice and sturdy for on the move and keeps the dust off when not in use. The case comes with a keyboard which is handy for track searches etc. but you could probably use any USB keyboard. All in all I would recommend it to anyone with an ipod that wants to DJ without taking up loads of room with equipment, CDs or 12"S but I would think about how far you want to go with your DJing.

When I moved flats a couple of years ago, I thought the time was right to get rid of (some of) the 12"s and put the Technics away. I did miss messing around with tracks and doing the odd bit of mixing, so a partial solution a couple of years back was the Hercules DJ Console running Traktor on my Mac. This was an OK-ish compromise but the software was unstable and the mixer too small to really use properly. The virtual platters were the size of a crumpet and it was too easy to bash the wrong switch. Enter the IDJ2. Got this before Xmas and I must say I am impressed. The controls are intuitive and beat matching/tempo adjustment within the mix are easy (as long as you have some experience of DJing). You can load tracks from your iPod (it won't play copy protected tracks from iTunes, but will play their new new premium unprotected tracks and supports most other files) or even plug in USB memory sticks/CD players/decks so it is certainly versatile. The interface is easy to use and the colour screen is a good size. The software runs on a Linux platform and can be a bit glitchy (but not too bad) in probably 30/40 hours of mixing I have had one system error which required a reboot and a couple of firmware issues where it couldn't find it's own software. All OK sitting in your lounge messing about but not so good at a party! You can update software via the website using the USB stick provided. All in all I would recommend this for beginners and people like me who want to keep their hand in - and it will useful for parties or having as an option in a bar. I am not sure I would want to use it in a full-on club environment where a crashing interface would lead to a sudden loss of music on the dancefloor. There is a road case being launched for it by Numark at the moment so it will be a bit more portable. The only improvement I would make to its functionality is more effects - it has a looping ability and a virtual scratch mode but it would have been good to have some more options.
