 Fantastic piece of gear, perfect for beginner DJs! December 9, 2009

I've had the ION Discover DJ for about a week now and it's been a great MIDI DJ controller so far. It's highly usable with just the right amount of controls for basic mixing and scratching. For being mostly plastic, the device feels well built - with the knobs and buttons twisting/clicking solidly. The crossfader has a metal stem with a removable cap(!), and cuts smoothly.
The jogs are awesomely functional. They are touch sensitive (i can hold the unit upside down and activate the platters). They are also as smooth as butter, and amazingly sensitive when it comes to their scratch performance.
The current packed-in software (Mixvibes Cross LE) is great for beginners/intermediate djs, even some pros might prefer it. But the great thing about the Discover DJ is that it's also a MIDI device that can be used with any dj software that supports a midi controller (NI Traktor, Virtual DJ, Mixxx, DJay, and others), with a bit of mapping.
As either a beginner system or a backup for a pro, i think the unit is awesome for the price. no bells and whistles, just the basics with great jog wheels. I let my nieces and nephews scratch away on it, not worrying about it getting damaged. I plan on attaching guitar strap locks to it, so i can hang it around my neck and play it like a guitar.
Also for best results with audio performance, one should use an external audio interface with the Discover DJ (it doesn't include one - it's only a controller). If one has to use their computer's onboard audio, download ASIO4all (Windows only) for best performance.
If you want to get into the DJ game this is your first step. February 5, 2010

First off I want to say if you have been DJing for a long time this isn't for you. This product is GREAT for people that what to know what its like to DJ but your no a pro or you don't want to put up hundreds til you know your really interested. It has 2 jog wheels for scratching and such, a basic mixer and it comes with a software that is easy to use and yet you can make some series mixes on it. It is more then you would ever expect out of a $90 product!.
Very Impressive, great price April 6, 2010

Absolutely amazed with this device for the cost. Although it is nothing like scratching on vynil, the traking on the tables, touch senativity and overall quality is very good, especially for the cost. I would look at it as a new instrument for scratching, but after installing asio4all, and updating the DJ Cross software to version 1.3.2, and playing with the settings, the capabilities of this systems as a stand alone are great. Was looking for a way to mix and scratch while on location in Africa, and cases of vynil and moving tables here was not an option. It is taking a bit of getting used to but defiately fun to play with and actually precise enough that with more practice on this it would be just fine for small parties and dj events.
Highly recomend after reading somewhat mixed reviews, but I have not been dissapointed. Also, the software update corrected a small issue with the response from one of the tables, hardware works just fine, may have been the problem in a review that someone left complaining about something simmilar.
Great for beginners, good as a back up midi device for pros February 4, 2010

Please put aside your gear snobbery people and see Discover DJ for what it is. It's a rapidly changing world out there and aspiring DJs don't need to spend hundreds on turntables to see if DJing is for them, especially given that new vinyl is increasingly difficult to get. Now they can simply spend less than a ton on a really capable and extremely fun to use controller. And for seasoned pros, this is actually a very viable backup unit as it can also be configured via MIDI. Discover DJ is utterly perfect for the target market, and a lot of fun for skilled DJs too.
Awesome! April 27, 2010

I love this thing! I could really see how someone could really get good with this! I really feel that this can be used for any DJ! Experienced or just starting out, you will have a blast with this midi controller. It was fun just to record my voice with some other software, and then scratch with it. Also, setup was a breeze. Literally took only 5 minutes to install and start mixing. Very simple to use too! You will truly enjoy this!
