M-Audio X-Session Pro MIDI DJ Controller (Macintosh and Windows)

Product Review:

I have had this item for a few years. I used it once every 2-3 months on average, including for some weddings and bar djing. It works well for crossfading and basic effects. However, it became easily overloaded and would sometimes cause blips in the music, especially when using the recording feature. All of the recordings I did through this mixer came out with minor or major skips. After doing some research, it seems like if you are doing anything beyond very minor crossfading from playlists, you would be better off getting a mixer for more ($200-300 range), which will greatly increase the value and what you are able to do with it. For very basic needs (no recording or using multiple features at once), it does the trick.
