The Vestax VCI-400 Digital DJ controller is extremely versatile as it can work with both the full Serato DJ software and Traktor Pro 2 with great results. I've decided to keep the VCI-400 for my personal controller of choice and since then we've upgraded the crossfader (on our DIY Video) and now we're ready to customize the looks. With the help of our friends over at Styleflip.com we were able to perfectly match the black/white pinstripe design on my DVS setup and replicate it on the VCI-400.

The Vestax VCI-400 Digital DJ controller can now be purchased with the full Serato DJ software already bundled and ready to go. Vestax has now officially announced the Vestax VCI-400DJ which, not only comes with Serato DJ, but also dawns a new color scheme and skin which have commands and features that correspond to the features found in the new software. I liked the VCI-400 so much that I kept my review unit and even upgraded the crossfader to the scratch-happy CF-X2. The perfect Serato DJ integration is yet another reason for people to take a good look at the VCI-400 if they are in the market for a new DJ controller. Check out the full press release inside.

The One DJ software 1.6 update has now been released and with it comes an extraordinary performance by Famous DJ Rasp from the UK. Rasp has been known to put it down on the turntables in turntablist competitions, but today he exercises his controllerist side on the brand new One DJ software 1.6 and the Vestax VCI-400. Check out the video of Rasp showcasing The One DJ software timeline & live mode together in an innovative DJ Routine after the jump.

Vestax, one of my personal favorite DJ companies, has recently announced that they will be bringing out a brand new version of the very popular VCI-300 Digital DJ controller. Introducing the new Vestax VCI-380 Digital DJ controller which is basically a VCI-300 with eight Vestax PAD-ONE pads integrated atop each deck that allows DJ's to trigger cue points, samples, loops, slice up beats, and shoot off Pad FX together. This new Serato Itch controller can also work as a standalone mixer. Check out the video and press release for more details.

I've been a big fan of the Decksaver DJ equipment covers ever since they were first released. They do an excellent job of protecting your gear from dust, dirt, grime, debris, smoke, and lots of other things that can do damage to your beloved DJ gear. They always fit just right and the fit and finish is spot-on. After upgrading my Vestax VCI-400's crossfader last week, I decided to also give it a bit of added protection. The Decksaver for the VCI-400 was recently released and we got one sent to us directly from Mixware.net who is the official US distributors of the Decksaver brand. Check out our full HD-Video feature of the new Decksaver for the VCI-400 after the jump.

The Vestax VCI-400 is a very professional 4-channel/4-deck All-In-One Digital DJ Controller that also now works as a standalone Mixer (with the newly announced update that will be released for free next month!). We now have a brand new VCI-400 in the Lab for a full and extensive HD-Video review and we'll be sure to give you all the details on the performance very soon. In the meantime, check out the unboxing and first impressions video so you can know what to expect when you see it for the first time.

The Vestax VCI-400DJ (the special edition VCI-400 that comes bundled with the full version of Serato DJ software) Digital DJ controller is now released and available for purchase at your local retailer. The VCI-400 is an extremely versatile DJ controller that can work in perfect harmony with Traktor, Serato, Virtual DJ, Mixvibes, and almost every other popular DJ software on the market. I liked it so much that I kept the VCI-400 as my controller of choice.

The Vestax VCI-380 has been out on the market for a little over a year now, but its still one of my favorite controllers to use with Serato. During our HD-Video review, we loved the build quality, tight jog wheels, and excellent fader feel along with the a set of input and output options that are available to the users. The VCI-380 now gets a free software upgrade from Serato Itch to the new and improved Serato DJ and Martin from the Serato team gives us a quick demo video of the new look and features.
