4.0 out of 5 stars Finally Laptop DJing, Remixing, and Scratching at an Affordable Price, September 16, 2010

Customer Video Review Length:: 4:01 Mins

This is one of the two videos that I also uploaded online on Youtube, I have been using this unit for about 2 weeks on a Windows 7 64 bit Intel I7 laptop. Its made by Vestax, a company known for making solid High End DJ gear, just do a web search for all the top DJs using Vestax gear (DJ Qbert, Craze, tons of radio/ party djs) so I don't have too many doubts about its solid build quality, that being said the unit is almost completely plastic, and the faders don't have the rugged feel like some of Vestax's more expensive gear. The reason I chose this unit over the less expensive Midi-Only Controller units by Numark, Hercules, and others is because the Typhoon is currently the only one I liked in this price range with its own built in soundcard. For anybody new to laptop djing this means that the Typhoon works as a standalone mixing unit connected to your laptop, you don't have to go purchase a seperate DJ soundcard.

Now for some of the cons of the... Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Nice Machine, September 10, 2010
This review is from: Vestax Typhoon Midi Controller (Electronics)
Very Nice Machine, comes with Tractor Le software you just have to register the software after loading. I was mixing using cd's for years, this cuts out cd's skipping, not being able to enjoy a party becuz i have to listen every darn second to make sure im not skipping. Very user friendly, I actually scouted the Typhoon for about 6months prior to purchasing, I saw clips on YouTube and could not find it anywhere in the U.S.A. I ended up getting one from EBay it came from Canada. Ive had mine about 2months now and im darn near a professional. I can play any club,bar,restaurant in the city. Im from Philly so I dj quite frequently, I do bars and parties every weekend. If ur a seasoned pro like myself or a beginner and need something not too complicated but good enuf to get u goin this is definitely the machine. The only downside I would say is, its not really set up to plug a mic and go live through the house. I do it anyway and get a slight delay but i work through it. I scratch, mix,... Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars It has all the basics and feels great!, January 21, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase( What's this?)
This review is from: Vestax Typhoon Midi Controller (Electronics)
I am an amateur DJ, but I have tried several different qualities of equipments, from the most pro to the very cheap stuff. The Vestax Typhoon is just a perfect machine for the 99% of the time of a DJ performance. Unlike other cheap machines similar to this one(I am referring mostly to the Hercules ones), the Typhoon has the most common buttons for DJing where you need them, they are big enough, the feel when you touch them is good enough, and the jog wheel quality is just much above than all its competitors. That is important if you pretend to mix songs and adjust the tempo manually and not just relying on the software (basically, what a Dj is supposed to do). They are good enough for scratching too, and this is something that most of the similar machines cannot handle decently.

It comes with Tracktor LE, what is one of the best programs available (I can't stand the horrible virtual dj). Ok, now I have to thanks DJ Exquiz who wrote another review and solved the main problem... Read more
