    Love the Arcade Buttons (seriously). Pioneer should replace those damn ELEVATOR buttons on their CDJs with those :)

  • Controllerism sucks

    do you know what crabs are? because pushing buttons to repeat a phrase isn't it.

    your right- crabs do suck. The entire team here at dj tech tools got crabs from the same dj groupie this weekend and now our girl friends have left us. I am thinking about giving the entire thing up.

    Thats great work bro. I am in the process of switching to all digital. Hopefully the stereotype that all digital (non turntable) setups aren't professional will go away with your mad skills on the controller ;)

    take it eazy
