If it's a portable dj-toy you're looking for this is the only option, really only fit to toy around with, not to practise dj sets.

If it's home/hobby djing you want to go for the (likes of th) Hercules dj console.

If you're foraging into the digital dj'ing realm and looking for a decent controller buy the Vestax VCI 100, also less expensive than a Pacemaker unit.

Software for (starting/hobby) dj's is really, really inexpensive (Virtualdj and the likes)

I wonder how much units they'll sell...

Anything else that is similar in terms of digital DJ'ing will still be much bulkier to carry. The Vestax VCI 100 may cost $500, but given that it still requires a source for music (eg. external hard drives aka laptop) - again, this is hardly a handy solution as it means carrying both the controller AND a laptop.

In terms of an all in one solution - there isn't anything that comes close to the Pacemaker in terms of hardware AND portability.

If you are wondering how many units they will sell, Well their pre-booking on the first batch/orders has closed after reaching the limit set. Given the enthusiasm shown for this - you can be assured it will sell.

Well for showmanship - what can be better than a single person just standing in a spot with headphones on and mixing without any other DJ visible? Most clubs will still have a booth anyways and the person will most likely be behind that - at the end of the day as long as the DJ is good, it doesn't matter what they have in the booth.]]>Jan 7th 2008 9:41AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/07/hands-on-with-the-pacemaker-dj-system/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/07/hands-on-with-the-pacemaker-dj-system/I'm convinced it's nice to toy with, and just that. Ther might be a couple of guys who use it as a novelty in their stage act, but it's just that, a novelty.]]>Jan 7th 2008 3:12PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/07/hands-on-with-the-pacemaker-dj-system/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/07/hands-on-with-the-pacemaker-dj-system/http://www.m-audio.com/products/en_us/TorqXponent-main.html that I had a hands on with a while back when I was performing with someone who had it- more versatility and you can get them for $599 if you look around- though I will stick with my 1st gen x-seassion for now]]>Jan 7th 2008 10:11AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/07/hands-on-with-the-pacemaker-dj-system/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/07/hands-on-with-the-pacemaker-dj-system/Jan 7th 2008 11:15AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/07/hands-on-with-the-pacemaker-dj-system/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/07/hands-on-with-the-pacemaker-dj-system/Jan 7th 2008 6:03PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/07/hands-on-with-the-pacemaker-dj-system/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/07/hands-on-with-the-pacemaker-dj-system/Jan 7th 2008 5:38PM
