Will this be ok for a 11.5 year old boy with no DJ experience? Also, does it come with everything we need to use it right out of the box?

Yes today the kids learn faster. The second part of the question yes if you have a external speakers because you need to configurate the software i use this with traktor and virtual dj dejuced is cheap for me.

I'm not entirely 100% sure if it works with Virtual DJ, but it does ship with Serato DJ Intro which is easy to set up, and super easy to navigate and use! Purchase the Mixdeck Quad, it's a fantastic piece of hardware.

It comes with everything you need but sticks, throne and bass drum pedal. Takes about 2 hours to set up with no interruptions..

Depends on how he will be using it, or should I say with what equipment he will be using it with. The biggest concern is Phantom power. Many mixing consoles have this built in, but it will not work without it.

Yes, all you need is Apple lighting adaptor and Djay app and you should be spinning some tunes in no time. Great for a back-up setup or small gig.

For dj they are good starter set. I brought them to a park and had them in the park pavilion. I can say that the pavilion is 200 yards from the road and I could hear them from the road. They come with a power cord you will have to get whatever cables you'll need for connections.

I use Virtual DJ. I hear you can use Traktor with it but I haven't tried and I think you might have to do some mapping with it. Good luck!

Most of the times ( about 97%) I use it without a computer, most softwares like Traktor Pro or Virtual DJ need lots of time to map out the controller's layout. It's an excellent standalone controller.

Extremely easy to set up. I was playing music in less than 5 minutes. Plug power cord, have your powered speakers ready and hook up via xlr to ddj. Once you plug USB to Mac and open Serato Dj, it will automatically detect the ddj, and your music library. You can start playing music right away. No configuration needed out of the box.

No, it requires you to have a DJ software on your computer. If you're looking to do something like that - you need the mix deck which can play CD's and thumb drives

Ok, Pete W. Here's the low down info. That you're looking for. I bought a Hercules dj control instinct a couple of weeks back, but it was much smaller than it appeared in the original image. I bought it not to be a dj though, the primary reason that I got it for was as a basic remixes to ad some Flava to my production, because it's very limited in features and is very small. In my opinion, if it's djing that you want to do professionally, then spend that extra bucks and get one of the Pioneer ddj series that suits your purpose best and give yourself the best chance of making it. Hope this was helpful! Ok, Pete W. Here's the low down info. That you're looking for.

Yes it is. If you are not tech head like myself this is easy to use. Easy enough to use that my 12 year old can download music into it. Nothing fancy, just very straightforward.

Small home parties or home theater system. I suggest the Peavey PR15 or the Thump TH15A. Well worth the money for a DJ system.

I'd like to help you, but this was a gift for our granddaughter in another city; I just know that it included the keyboard, which was scaled well for small hands, the software, a DVD (I think), and a power supply when we bought it. It was the "gift of the year" at Christmas, and our granddaughter is still learning music using it.

Two of them is also starting gear. It a cheap toy. i suggest cmd it has more button on it. It's more good for learning how to dj.

I'ts quite a tool for the music developing/mixing (DJ). He will need direction to use this. Does he like musical instruments (piano, guitar, trumpet)? He could start with real instruments and then when he's more mature, start mixing it with other stuff.

There is certainly speaker connections and input for a lot of gear. If you are thinking about using this to do DJ work, I can not say if this equipment will live up to that. I am using it in my bedroom for movies. When it comes to using equipment for DJ work, you must have equipment that is able to take high volumes without clipping and remain cool. For the price, you may just want to try it out.
