The truth is DJing is a very easy solution for kids who can’t play the piano, or who can’t sing to do something with music. Most of the kids who buy the cheap controller are never going to take it to the next level, and maybe they don’t want to. DJing is a good way for kids to have a musical hobby, even if they’re never going to be playing clubs and the like. Plus, for someone like me, the cheap controller is an easy way for me to learn the basics and get a feel for DJing while I try to work up the money for a much nicer, more professional controller. Any way you look at it, it gives us poor DJ’s something to work with, and it gives kids a nice hobby that may turn into a career. Heck, I got a friend who bought one just to help him mix and add effects for his band. So all I got to say is, it’s a win win thing, the only downside I can see is companies investing less money into high end controllers.
I can see why companys are investing in cheaprer gear.Alix have you ever heard the saying ”slow(some) money is better than no money”? Why push expensive equipment in a bad econeomy, and not sell that equipment versus something inexpensive that would sell easily? I have purchased a unit that is not as expensive, compared to some of the other controllers out there. I figured if Im using the inexpensive unit for gigs for now, I can save my money and purchase what I really want.
