Priceless investment for a street performer!

For the price this unit is UNBEATABLE... a MUST HAVE for solo singers/musicians-- especially if you street perform.  Light, powerful and the charge will get you through AT LEAST 3 45-minute sets, if not more! I use a headset and stuck a lavalier into the body of my guitar... presto!  Instant wireless rig with great coverage and also great signal... It's smaller than you'd think, but still LOUD! Sound quality may I'd say 3-4 stars, but again, for unit of this price range it's really a 5...

Fantastic; I believe it's a Mooer EQ branded as Fender, but it costs less and looks and sounds purrrrty!

Definitely noise-free for me and my setup... added a lot of lost bass and treble to the mix that I lost after running a long signal path due to pedalboard addiction. All of my pedals boast "True Bypass," but believe me, the signal still gets cut if you're running a few there... so for me personally, I run the EQ at the end of my chain, where as others may put it right behind a muddy delay or their overdrive/distortion pedals as a harmonic EQ or boost to really get that gain going... there's no right or wrong place, though some may disagree... you figure out where it works best and what you want to use it for!

This lets my pine-cab Custom Shop Fender Bass Breaker breathe properly and brings out a lot of harmonics and dynamics to the mix that I'd thought I'd lost. Definitely a worthwhile investment and a great real-estate saver due to it's small size on your pedalboard. Dialed in my favorite sound in a few seconds and played with another couple sliders after switching guitars - going from single coils to humbuckers.

The addition of the Boost/Level knob up top which doubles as an LED is also genius, because using that in conjunction with the sliders will allow for a variety of different tones and combinations - very useful. The sliders aren't flimsy, but I wouldn't doubt you could crush them if you're slamming on this thing every day. For me; it's a 'set it and forget it' tool, that I keep on, that works in perfect harmony with my amp. I'm definitely a fan.

I just picked up this little beauty a couple weeks ago from a local guitar shop. I really love the built in 22 amp settings as well as an integrated effects pedal. Saves a ton of money. The 30 watt power supply is plenty of volume for practicing or a small gig.

The only words of caution I would have are this: 1. There isn't a line-out (other than the headphone jack) so you can't use this as just a pre-amp and run it to a sound board or anything; you would have to still get an effects pedal if you needed it for that, 2. It isn't made for huge gigs, 30 watts is plenty of power at home and at church but if you're playing big gigs with a crazy drummer, you're going to want to go with something with some more oomph.

Overall I love this amp. You can't beat the price; so it is a wonderful value and a trusted brand.

I used to be a 'Mackie Mixer' fanatic (I have 3 models of them); but pricey as it is, this YAMAHA MGP16X is well worth it. Built-in features like the RevX and SPX sound processors, superb EQ, awesome Compressor on each Mic channel strip (a new first, only from Yamaha) are a breeze. The 'Leveler' is another important feature that is practically useful when using this unit with a Karaoke Player--- it digitally "tames" or equates the volume of each music selection. The 'Head Amp' is another feature---that definitely boost "gain" from any audio source, (this will solve problems of low-output, usually classic music selections). The 'Ducker' feature is most useful to DJs and KJs (karaoke DJ..), where the music level "automatically drops" upon speaking at the 'Source Mic'. Pack for pack, feature for feature, this unit is capable of multiple I/O that could run a medium to large gigs. Indeed, I saved a bundle here; I could have spent so much more if I had to buy separate all the external processors and features that actually already came with this unit! I would recommend this state-of-the-art piece of innovation to all audio/video enthusiast.., prepare to be amazed, put a smile on your ears...!

I am so glad I purchased this, been on my wish list for over a year now and finally decided to treat myself. Makes de-stressing on the commute home way easier. Do yourself a favor and drop the cash to support a great artist.

Finally all music enthusiasts and performers who give performances sitting cross-legged should heave a sigh of relief - You now have the perfect sidemount boom stand! I noticed a situation where I had to have this boom attached to my microphone main stand which was a "PylePro PMKS40 Universal Microphone Stand with Height Adjustable" which I had purchased earlier. The main microphone stand was also a good, robust and resilient piece but it couldn't be adjusted in height to suit the singer's mouth level since both the singer and accompanists in this case sit cross-legged. Not just that - the 300 degrees rotational adjustability of this boom stand is unrivalled and helps you fine tune the level of the microphone to the optimal level for the best throughput. I don't know what I would have done without this boom stand! I would recommend this boom stand over the traditionally available stands with lever-adjusted sidemounts, also due to one more advantage - this one will also not dent or flake the paint on your main microphone stand although it is mounted at various different positions on the main stand.

WOW! What a Controller!

I'm a beginner in the DJ world, but I definitely want to get serious about Djing for parties and dances. When looking for a controller I was torn between the Numark NVII and this puppy, the DDJ SR. Thankfully I picked the DDj SR. I Love the great build quality and smooth knobs and Jog wheels. I come from more of a producing and finger drumming background so when I first felt the hot que/effects buttons, I was instantly in love. They are not clicky like some controllers, they are pressure sensitive. Sadly all of the other buttons are clicky mechanical buttons, but they are few and this is forgivable. The lights are bright enough to be clearly seen in the sun, but not too bright to blind you in the dark. This controller I SEXY. I personally LOVE the look of the Pioneer controllers. I even took a couple of cinematic pictures of it to make as the background of my phone!

Pros
- Looks beautiful
- buttons = Heaven
- knobs and jogs are very smooth
- Build quality is fantastic
- Jog wheels are very sensitive, good for scratching
NOTE (there are so many more pros, but if I list them all, the review would be the length of the constitution)

Cons
- My biggest gripe with the controller is that the jog wheels don't have the fancy lights in the middle of them like the DDJ SX, This isn't a functional problem, it is just an aesthetic thing I would love to have
- Also, I ran into a problem with the software. there was a weird error whenever i connected the DDj SR. To fix it (On Windows), you need to go to control panel > Sound, then make sure your speakers are the default playback device, and your Mic is your default microphone. That should fix it
- The last problem, is that Serato doesn't allow you to play sound out of your computer speakers, it only plays your music out of the L and R outputs on the DDJ SR.

Summery
This is a very good controller. It really doesn't have many functional flaws. It works beautifully and is a great beginner to advanced, controller. It is great for mixing and mashups because of it's 4 channel capability and good for beginner scratch practice. I completely recommend this controller to anyone who, has a cheap controller and wants an upgrade, or has a bit of money to spend and wants to buy a better controller.

Thanks for reading! Happy mixing!

Excellent piece of equipment!  Worth every penny.

With Chicago winters limiting how much outdoor riding I can get in any given year, constantly looking for ways to max out my biking time.  I live in a condo so space is always at a premium and adding in a stationary bike on top of having my normal bike simply is not an option.  This trainer was the perfect solution to optimizing my ride time without eating up too much extra real estate in my place!

This trainer is well-built, super sturdy, and presents well in my place and is super simple to dock your bike in and out of!  The various levels of magnetic/adjustable resistance are great and the noise output from this is minimal.  There are plenty of more intense but super expensive trainers out there, but the value on this is nearly impossible to beat at its price point if you only have basic needs. Makes for a great work out and does not extend much beyond the length of your bike.  It folds up fairly slim to store when not using.  Otherwise, I love to just prop it up in my living room and ride away while watching TV!

To protect my normal riding tires, I invested in a separate wheel and trainer-specific tire to avoid wearing down my more expensive outdoor tires as well as even further reduce the noise output from the whole setup.  Highly recommend!

This was definitely a great purchase, if you're like me and have spent way too much on rider belts over the years, this little guy makes all of those purchases even more worth it! I got this mainly for my sengoku and build drivers but it works with my den-o and decade belts as well. Like I said, I love this thing, but if it gets to be over $30, I'd consider some alternatives...

Awesome amp! Coupled with my FiIIO X3 FW3.0 and Sony XBA-4s I am in EDM bliss!!!! I will say this though - I found it took about a couple of weeks of burn for it to really shine. Could not be happier! Thank you James!

I had a Rega bias on the RB 300 arm, I thought it was ok. One day the stylus was bent, and it is not replaceable. I always remeber the sound from years past a lovely Ortofon MC20. But these things are way out of my budget not to mention I will need a step up or high gain pre amp. So the high output MC DL 110 comes to the rescue. Set up can be easier, Rega has the fixed head shell but that's that.
As soon as the needle drop to the record, a $1.00 Tracey Chapman, I get this huge sound field, a believable voice and presence. The surface noise is actually very muted.
I heard this cart takes 50 hours to break in, and I can not believe how would that be.
This is a great bargain to have a taste of moving coil, I am going to be happy for awhile

purchased this specifically for playing acoustic sets in coffee houses & open mics where I couldn't bring a kit or there wasn't one available. Then after using it on several occasions I was so impressed with the versatility and ease of use that I keep it around the house just for jamming and writing songs with friends. It can fulfill kick snare relations very well and beats are conveyed quickly and effectively to keep time and add that percussive flair without using a conga or bongo. For extra affect try strapping a shaker or jingle stick to your leg/foot for a nice ride or simple addition to signify changes between verses and chorus'. As with any instrument, definitely invest in a good carry case to protect and (also) serve as an easy way to carry the box.

The Novation launchpad Pro is a must-have for any modern producer. This thing was full of surprises from the moment I opened the box. I was first surprised by how sturdy the construction is. Despite its size, this is no plastic toy. The solid body frame, durable pads, and large nonslip rubber backing make this unit ideal for my live performances.

My second surprise was how easy it was to integrate the Launchpad Pro with Ableton. In a matter of minutes it was installed, configured, and running smoothly with no hassle.

 My third and biggest surprise was how much fun it is to use. The reason why it's so fun is due to the intuitive layout. The large round well labeled command buttons make navigation a breeze on this thing. The pads register touch perfectly even if you don't hit them dead center. This is a problem I've experienced with other pad controllers resulting in missed notes. Thank goodness that's not the case here. If you plug in the power adapter and use the breakout MIDI cables, you can control you external gear without having a computer as the middle-man. That's definitely a plus. If you're into customizing like I am then you will love the user mode which turned the whole unit into a blank slate so I could custom map until my heart was content.

Honestly, being able to launch clips, compose whole tracks, and prepare song arrangements in such a compact unit is a dream come true. Since I am not a huge fan of using the mouse, this is right up my alley. All of the "go to" ableton commands are a button press away. The feature I had the most fun with was the pad-fader emulation. C'mon, columns of pads that can act as faders? Genius.

The Launchpad Pro has definitely earned a permanent spot in both my home and travel music set ups. Not to mention, those full-color pads will  keep my studio looking cool too! Hahaha. Whether you're a novice or a seasoned vet, I recommend adding this portable beast to your studio.

Do NOT hesitate for one-second to purchase this excellent piece of equipment!

This thing... Oh. My. God!! is amazing!
I bought a lot of high end stuff for my pc, a lot of expensive stuff, but I was never as impressed and surprised with an item as I am with this.
When I first paid the $130 I was a bit worried that it wouldn't live up to its price point, but dude.. Woahahahaha it's so freakin' good!

 I really can sit here and talk about how good it is tell tomorrow, so I'm gonna try and make it short:

 - Every material and every part of thing is very high quality, you will not have to worry about that.
 - It's heavy with its stand so it sits there and will not be knocked out or moved easily.
 - You can connect your headphones to it and it'll become your main audio output if you desire, which I didn't know and I'm blown away with. If you choose to do so, you'll be able to hear everything around you directly from your headphones, and in real time, with regular mic setups the delay is unbearable. (This could be so fun to hear your self and hear little details that you otherwise cannot hear :X)
 - You can easily mount any mic filter/pad to it, I can see a lot of ways for doing so.
 - The Mini-USB cable that comes with it is the thiccest cable and the longest Mini-USB cable I've ever seen.
 - And finally, it looks really really really good, it makes your setup look 10 times better!

For a budget causal audiophile like me, this is a perfect addition for apartment style urban living. Havent used it for over a month yet, but so excited and cant wait to share and write a positive feedback about this product. With bluetooth connection, can listen radio or enjoy youtube music or act as gaming laptop external speaker. Havent tried to turn on to max volume as singapore neighbor up down left right within 10metre or 30feet, but sound accurately while listening news anchor reporting at mid-low volume. Tried playing Burno Mars - Grenade, Adele - Rolling in the Deep and David Guetta -
 Titanium, the enhanced Bass technology is wonderfully reproduced at middle volume. Given the exceptional affordable price of this soundbar, cannot expect too much compared to a 2.1 hifi speaker like Swan M10 quality or AKG k240 headphone.
