Earlier this morning Pioneer DJ has finally announced it's Rekordbox DJ turntable and CDJ two channel USB soundcard called the Pioneer DJ Interface 2. This new device is a Digital Vinyl Interface that allows DJ's with any mixer to use Rekordbox DJ DVS with vinyl or CD timecode. I knew this was definitely going to come out sooner or later if Pioneer DJ wanted the Rekordbox software to be accessible to all types of users. Now DJ's don't have to shell out massive amounts of money to get a Rekordbox DJ DVS-ready mixer in order to play. The Pioneer DJ Interface 2 will be available shortly for the cost of only $300 in the US. The package will also come bundled with the full Rekordbox DJ software, Rekordbox DVS, two Rekordbox vinyl, and there is also a link to burn a CD or wave file for a USB stick for CD Decks. The Interface 2 can be USB powered or run on the power supply. Check out the quick intro video below and stay tuned for our full out review as soon as we get it...

Earlier this morning Pioneer DJ has released a very quick teaser video of what looks to be like their new Rekordbox software with a lot more features. Specifically, it looks like the Rekordbox software that currently handles track preparation and library management for CDJ/DJM users will now be able to work in real time with new DJ controllers and perhaps even DVS timecode vinyl setups. Check out our thoughts and the quick teaser video inside.

In our bid to find alternative Digital Vinyl DJ systems bearing different names other than the industry standard Traktor and Serato, we found another gem called the Mixvibes Cross Pack DVS solution. The Mixvibes Cross Pack comes with the Mixvibes 1.7 DJ Software, 2 timecode CD's, 2 timecode vinyl, and the U46MK2 soundcard USB interface to supply the DJ with everything they need to start DJ-ing with the computer and audio files of their choice with their CDJ's, vinyl turntables, and mixers. Check out my first impressions and unboxing video for now as the review will be ready in a week or two.

Pioneer just released the DVS pack for Rekordbox DJ in their latest update. It would have been all gravy if it wasn’t for something that Pioneer does a lot and that is charging $99 for an update. That is right, it will cost an additional $99 on top of the $129 you probably had to pay to get Rekorbox DJ if you want DVS capability.

Early this morning Pioneer DJ hit the industry with some serious news. First, the new Rekordbox 4.0 software was revealed as a fully-fledged DJ software that will work with all Pioneer current DJ controllers and players and will soon include upgrade paths for Video plug-ins and DVS plug-ins for vinyl and CD timecode users. Next, the Pioneer team announced two brand new controllers that will work with the new Rekordbox 4.0 software called the Pioneer DDJ-RZ and DDJ-RX.

The new Pioneer DJM-250MK2 mixer takes on a similar compact footprint as the original we reviewed years ago with a newer Magvel Crossfader, Color FX Filter knobs, and a built in DVS Rekordbox ready soundcard. This mixer also comes packed with the full featured Rekordbox DJ software. The Rekordbox DVS license is also included in the box so that users can connect DJ turntables or CDJ's for use with timecode vinyl or CD's.

Last month we reviewed the new Pioneer DDJ-RR Digital DJ Controller that uses the new Rekordbox DJ software. We explained lots of the features in detail and highly recommend the controller to anyone who wants something solid in the Rekordbox DJ realm. Pioneer DJ has now released a tutorial series of videos showing some in-depth features of the Rekordbox DJ software.

The brand new Mixvibes Cross DVS package that works with any DJ soundcard has now been released and can be purchased at retailers everywhere for the new low price of only $99. The new Mixvibes Cross DVS package comes with the Mixvibes timecode vinyl and the powerful Mixvibes software in order to get started. The user needs to add a mixer, a soundcard, a computer, turntables/CDJ's, and music to start spinning. We have a new Mixvibes DVS package in the Lab for the full review treatment, but we've unboxed these vinyl on camera to see what's included in the package...
