    I already picked the Gemini CNTRL-7. Why? Cause it’s the best controller in it’s price range. Fully mappable midi, plus the ONLY controller in it’s price range to have sample cappabilities on the console, a ton of inputs and outputs, and over all a nice construction. It’s not perfect, but for the price range, totally worth it. The only downside I can see is that upgrading from the Virtual DJ LE to the regular isn’t discounted, it’s full price. However, since you can map it to any dj software, you can buy a different DJ software if you don’t already have one. I’m prolly going to get Gemini’s Groove software.

    The reload squashes that janky Gemini controller and the Hercules. Gents, until you’re brave enough, or lucky enough to get free stuff, and begin to open them up and take a look at the real build quality, you will never know what is what. I absolutely love DJTech controllers, well some not all. I like all the mini ones, the vtt, cdj, and the 101 mixer. the iMix is basically the same parts. I haven’t had a 4 mix. For those in the know, many DJ Tech products are the hidden gems of DJing. I wouldn’t take a Hercules or Gemini control, if they gave it to me. Think I don’t know what I’m talking about? Check out this $200 controller….

    Mixtrack Pro rocks. But Reloaded looks great, I’ve requested a review sample.

    I think there’s a pretty big difference between the $250 i-Mix Reload (which may or may not have a soundcard) and the new DJtech Reloaded (6 deck control with a 4 x 4 soundcard)
