The new Traktor created controller-mixer is now in the DJbooth Lab for a full out HD-Video review. The new Traktor Kontrol Z2 2+2 controller/mixer has been available for about a month now, but they've been flying off the store shelves pretty quickly. Fortunately, my good friend's over at Native Instruments sent me a unit directly from Germany so our readers can see exactly what the Z2 is all about. The Full HD-Video and written reviews regarding the new hardware and the Traktor 2.6 Software update will be done within the next week or so. For now, check out our unboxing and first impressions video after the jump to see what the Z2 looks like straight out of the box.

The newest Native Instruments DJ controller is finally in the lab for a full out HD-video review. The Traktor Kontrol F1 is the new USB DJ controller that can perfectly control the new Traktor 2.5 Remix Decks that was recently introduced to the DJ world last month. With the F1, DJ's now have the power to control one-shot samples, loops, and cue points within Traktor like never before. There's a lot to cover and we'll have the review video done shortly. Check out the unboxing and first-impressions video after the jump.

In search of some serious savings for DJ's across the land, I was able to find one of the best deals I've ever seen for a complete Digital Vinyl System. A DVS setup allows DJ's to use their current CDJ's or analog Vinyl decks in conjunction with an external mixer in order to playback and manipulate the audio files on a computer. The M-Audio Conectiv system comes with two timecode vinyl, two timecode CD's, the M-Audio Conectiv DJ soundcard, and the popular Torq 2.0 DJ software which can now be yours for only $80 shipped to your doorstep! The full HD-Video review is on the way, but check out the Unboxing Video and details on how to get this deal after the jump.

The new Traktor Kontrol X1 MK2 has now shipped from Native Instruments to our very own DJbooth.net lab for the full written and video review treatment. The new Traktor X1 has most of the same functions as the original X1 but adds a new touch-strip section in the middle of the unit that can control effects parameters, nudging for beatmatching, and for jumping to a particular section in a song. The review is on the way, but watch the unboxing video to see the new X1 MK2 fresh out of the box.

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.
