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.

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.

On Monday of this week, Numark has revealed it's newest DJ controller that they are dubbing as "The Next Big Thing" called the NV. The Numark NV Controller promises to change the game by adding 4.3-inch full color displays above each jog wheel deck so that users can see waveforms, cue points, loops, music libraries, effects, and all the other important visual information so that DJ's can put the laptop away for good.

Just last week, Vestax announced that the new Serato DJ Software now works with their Typhoon Digital DJ Controller. Vestax Typhoon users can download a free trial for 14 days, or upgrade for $129. Serato DJ brings the new features of the full software such as Instant Doubles and iZotope FX to Typhoon users.

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. Check out the performance video and my Vestax VCI-380 review after the jump.

The popular entry-level and compact DJ controller by Pioneer DJ called the DDJ-WeGO can now be used in conjunction with the Algoriddim's djay Software for Mac. The DDJ-WeGO can already be used with any DJ software, but owners of the DDJ-WeGO can now go to the Pioneer DJ website and download a copy of Algoriddim's djay for FREE and have yet another way to mix with this tight little controller. Check out the video and press release inside.

The newest Digital DJ controller by Vestax has finally landed at the DJbooth.net Lab for a full-out HD-Video review. The Vestax VCI-380 is the new update to the ever-so-popular VCI-300 controller and it brings a lot of welcomed improvements and also kept some things exactly the way we liked it. The Vestax VCI-380 is a solid DJ controller that boasts an all metal construction, standalone mixer capabilities right out of the box, new Pad Effects, and perfect Serato DJ Itch integration. I'll be sure to explain everything in great detail during the HD-Video review which should be released just before the Atlantic City DJ Expo next week. Check out the unboxing and first impressions video in the meantime to see what comes in the box.
