I was only saying at the weekend what a let down the first version was….. low and behold they bring this out the next day! This time things sound very interesting…..

Agreed.  That’s the product they should have released in the first place.

I like it the price is the BIG thing! if its less than $300 than its a great deal! make the price and you’ll be in good shape

i think anywhere in the 3-400 range would be a good deal. long as everything works without lag.

I nearly jumped out of my seat when I read the pitch control option—very happy now.

I still think we need connections for two iPods…Maybe for a good set you need two units?

wow i was just looking at some cd turntables but i thought $700+ was too much for someone who just wants this as a hobby. i guess i like dj’ing (or what it looks like) mostly because of all those nice buttons *-)
just tried virtual dj, and maybe when this comes out i’ll give it a try. but as #5 says, not if its more than $300-400… hmmm

Wow, everyone jokes about ‘is this the update that makes it fun?’, and for once, this just might be. While a serious DJ wouldn’t be seen near a deck like this, at least now a beginner can learn the basics, and maybe have some fun with friends or at a house party. And dropping the dual-iPod requirement drops the actual cost quite a bit, as well as not requiring to sync libraries on both so you’re not screwed when looking to mix one specific track. Time will tell, but this may actually get more kids into DJing, and with a basic idea of what they’re supposed to be doing as well.

This is cool, I wonder if it can do beatmixing.  I like the fact that it is black so that it doesn’t stand out too much out in the open like it’s predecessor.  Good job Numark for stepping up and upgrade right away.

i sure hope the firmware is not sluggish, b/c then this would be nothing but a piece of techno junk.  i also hope the knobs and spinners have some sort of back-light so i don’t need that peski little disco flash light to see in dark situations.

The best part is you don’t even need an iPod!

Oliver: If you can control the pitch, then you can Beatmatch.. And it looks like pitch control is included with this unit

It looks good… But if you have device with Windows Mobile that was before:
“Pocket DJ studio” (search in google)
Two independent MP3 players with PITCH Control, CUE adjust, PITCH BEND buttons, and many other features for DJs.
