Item : B0024FAU7M Customer Reviews good stuff by .. Alice Bain () I bought one of these when they first came out last year (the 120GB version), and I've been very happy with it. At the time I had no prior mixing experience, but I found that using the Pacemaker was pretty intuitive and I caught the bug so thoroughly that only three months later I bought my own set of full-size turntables and a mixer. Pros: I love that it's small enough to fit in my purse or satchel and go anywhere. I travel a lot, and it makes that 8-hr flight a lot easier to cope with! I can also plug it in to any old rig and put on a decent mix if I want to. I don't go through music withdrawal any more and I'll never buy another MP3 player. It's so loaded with features I haven't yet mastered them all. Cons: The touchpad is fiddly, simply because the device is so small. You have to be really careful where you place your fingers or you risk e.g. accidentally hitting the crossfade bar and wrecking your mix. I find the EQ gestures have been hard to get used to. I can't imagine dancing around with this thing - it's too easy to hit the wrong area of the control face if you're not paying attention! Other DJ friends of mine think it lacks a certain gravitas that a booth provides. Overall: a great toy. I'd recommend it. Poorly named for US market, but a fantastic device by .. M. Devost (Washington, DC) I've owned the Pacemaker since it was originally released and have been incredibly pleased with it. Early versions of the firmware were a bit buggy but it has been a solid performer for the past six months with regular updates freely available. The interface is intuitive and easy to use after a 2-3 hour learning curve (mostly to break iPod interface habits) and the sound for the variety of formats supported is superb. You can record your mixes on the device and move them to the desktop application and vice versa. The sound controls work very well and reliably. If you like manipulating music and are looking for a device that takes you beyond the iPod experience, this is highly recommended. The pacemaker social network for sharing mixes is nice as well. I just wish there were a way to download and play them on the device (even if for only a limited period of time). I can't speak to its utility as a live DJ device as I've never used it in that capacity, but there seem to be quite a few folks that do in the pacemaker.net forums. Perfect for the green man on the go by .. Green Man (Philadelphia) Running around on the streets of philadelphia I've always been searching for that special soundtrack a green man needs! This is a must have item for green men everywhere...be it on viral videos or just simply grooving to the Pacemakers beat accompanied with some dubious folk in a camper van whilst tailgating... This is the product for you! DJ Neko review of the Pacemaker by .. Calvin H. Buechler (San Diego, CA) After using the Pacemaker I was amazed on how 2 turntables and a mixer could now fit in the palm of your hand. I feel Pacemaker has changed the world of hand held music devices. For example, with Pacemaker you can blend the bass, trebel and mids for both channels to get all the sound you would get from a mixer. Along with changing the pitch of each song while mixing into the next song like you have turntables and a mixer all in the palm of your hand! Being a DJ I see alot of different new and innovative ways to make things easier to replicate how dj's play music, but with Pacemaker I see a new way to dj for the future! With this device you can now dj and now dance in the crowd in the middle of the dance floor while still getting that perfect mix. It is very easy to use, as easy as an iPod, but as advanced as your most expensive dj set up! This device gets rid of all the wires, heavy turntables, and it puts "Scratch Live" Serato in the palm of your hand. It has a good amount of music space and it will work great for all kinds of dj's weither you are a beginner or been in the biz for 20 years!
