Many of which come with a version of VirtualDJ Limited Edition (LE) so you can immediately start using your controller.

Instead of relying too heavily on its hardware (as is the case for most controllers), you’ll instead find yourself leaning much more heavily on its software, playing and experimenting with the different options offered, determining which one works best for you and your DJing style. The controller relies heavily on its connection with your iPad or computer hardware, and that seems to be on purpose.The Reloop Buddy is for you if you want a truly portable, reasonably well-featured controller to use with djay Pro AI, and especially so if you want to do so using an iPad, thanks to its built-in stand. From a starting “fresh out of the box” look, the first thing you’re going to notice is that this thing is super small, it can definitely be classified as a micro DJ controller. Not only that, but the controller is entirely plastic. Neural Mix™ technology allows you to isolate certain elements from a song such as drums, vocals or instruments – perfect for live remixing The Neural Mix mode is activated by holding down on the Shift button before switching the headphone hot cue button to “Neural Mix” mode. From there, you have multiple methods of playing with this feature.

Extensive Neural Mix™ controls (pad / EQ mode) to isolate beats, instruments, and vocals of any song While the Numark Party Mix Live is primarily marketed as an entry-level controller, it does have certain limitations compared to more professional-grade DJ equipment. For instance, the jog wheels are smaller and may not offer the same level of precision as higher-end controllers.Before you can choose the best micro or mini DJ controller, you first need to understand what a “compact controller”, “micro DJ controller” or “mini controller” actually is. Nice, one-touch effects that are pretty useful, and fun! Touch and hold for the effect, remove your finger to release it. 4. Sampler Ease of use: A small controller should feel intuitive and simple to use, with a similar layout to a full-sized system. If the buttons and components are cluttered or too close together, you’ll struggle to achieve the right results. Look for an experience that feels straightforward. To do this, you’ll need to find an OTG power adaptor. This is also known as an “on-the-go” adaptor. After you’ve found one, you’ll use the USB-A to USB-B to connect the controller with the adaptor. Meanwhile, the right side of the better controller unit hosts the master out port, the headphones in port, as well as the headphones mix and master volume controls, with which you can play with.

The Slicer pad feature works by cutting the eight current beats and spreading them out across the various pads. From there, you’re able to essentially play from each beat based on their respective pad.Of course, Apple products aren’t the only method of connecting to Reloop Buddy. You can also tie your controller to an Android device.

The crossfader and fader, in particular, handle surprisingly well when you consider the price point of the controller. Audio interface: Usually, compact controllers won’t have their own audio interface built-in, but they might connect to your smartphone, tablet, or laptop so you can access software and other features. The effects paddles – the two switches directly above the upfaders – turn the currently selected effect on or off. Push up for a permanent “on”, pull down for a momentary “on”. The possibilities are endless, providing new ways to interact with your favourite songs. Loop drum beats, slice up vocals and re-arrange melodies to your heart's content. Whether you’re a beginner or a professional, the Reloop Buddy has something to offer everyone. The compact size and intuitive layout is perfect for those just starting out in the world of DJ’ing. Performance pads and FX paddles for limitless creativity

Jog wheels: The circular platters that appear on most DJ controllers. These replace the function of vinyl turntables, allowing for scratching, nudging, and record scrolling. Some DJ micro-controllers might have downsized jog wheels. There’s also the controller’s two-channel mixer section. Like the rest of the controller, you shouldn’t expect something super large or on the level of a Pioneer scratch mixer, since that’s just not what this is. That said, it’s not all bad.
