Gemini 4-Channel Virtual DJ Controller

When it came time for me to upgrade from my Mixtrack Pro, and Hercules MP3 E2 to a real four channel controller I researched every possible unit and came to find the G4V was the one I kept vacillating between because it is as good as it looks on paper. Received it today and the build quality is properly sturdy, not too heavy at 11 lbs., plastic knobs on the EQ as opposed to rubberized, however. The knobs are the best I've felt on any controller despite being plastic. They are light and nimble, with the tactile notch of the mid-point of the knobs a very subtle sensation as opposed to other units. It put me off at first but getting them moved around today I love them and how easily and confidently you can be accurate with them. The VU meters are excellent, where have they been my whole life? Hefty platters but not overly so, don't really care for/about the touch-sensitivity feature. Faders are the best I've felt on any mixer or controller anywhere, and are narrower and taller than the usual faders you're accustomed to. Incredibly innovative little tweak, in my opinion. No +/- Pitch Bend buttons was probably the worst trade-off with this unit. I considered the Numark N4 and Quad controllers, have felt and played with all of them, and this Gemini wins out on looks and build quality but doesn't have the same functionality of the Numarks. No CDJ or Phono support in this controller, despite the AUX input (it's possible to hook one up but you probably wouldn't want to because the pre-amp isn't very good). For the price this is the knees of the bees. Buy it and never look back.
