When I saw that this arrived I just had to try it out. Seriously, the setup time for this thing took less time than opening the box itself. I plugged it in, hit the power button, and was up and running in seconds using some of the included tracks. Having a turntablist background, I quickly loaded one of the "scratch" tracks, set the digital crossfader to a sharp cut-off, and was cutting and scratching with ease. As a vinyl DJ, I was impressed with the weighted platters. The built in software, while not as robust as dedicated computer software, seems to cover all of the bases needed to rock a serious set. You don't even need a laptop! Just plug in your USB thumb drive and headphones and go! I want one now!
