There is a misconception that the more a lump of gear costs, the better you'll be as a DJ. And given the stratospheric prices being routinely charged in these alleged credit crunch times, you might expect that a beginner can become a superstar DJ overnight simply by buying particular brands of DJ stuff. Well they can't, but they have to start somewhere. And at the polar opposite end of the cost scale is ION's Discover DJ, but as I (wait for it) discovered, it is a highly capable unit indeed. And it's out just in time for Christmas too.
