Welcome to the world of Digital DJ controllers!
Djing started with the introduction of laptops but now it is possible to imitate almost everything aspect of traditional DJ decks and DJ mixers in the digital world with a DJ controller.  A DJ controller is used in conjunction with your laptop to control DJ software. DJ controllers arrived on the scene shortly after DJ software did to make it easier to control DJ software. Up until that point, creative digital DJs were using keyboards – to control DJ software. For this reason DJ controllers are often referred to as a DJ Midi controller, because they are essentially the same as any other Midi controller just with controls that are adapted to make controlling DJ software easy thus they are Midi DJ controller. Most DJ controllers will have a jogwheel or two and controls that are similar to DJ mixers too (fade, etc). It is not necessary to have a controller to DJ with software; nearly all the available DJ software can be controlled using just the mouse and keyboard. However, it is generally considered to be much easier and more DJ-like to use a control device of some kind –not to mention easier! A DJ controller is to make inputting information to your DJ software easier and are often called a usb dj controller rather than a digital DJ controller. Traditionally, DJs would buy a DJ controller and an audio interface – the first to control his software, the second to provide outputs for both headphones and the main amp and speakers. Once a DJ controller has a headphone socket then it will have an audio interface for certain. Along with a DJ controller, a usb DJ controller and digital DJ controllers we also stock traditional DJ decks and DJ mixers. Connect your usb DJ controller to some big PA speakers and a PA amplifier for big sound and great party nights!
