gigaport is the best for value and quality
By: Steve Maidment

Very pleased with the gigaport. I purchased a maya 44 usb as a back up but the gigaport was clearly better in sound quality so I returned the maya and purchased another gigaport. 2008-12-13
Good soundcard, easy to use and the sound is great!

Bought this card just before christmas because I have a few gigs to play during the holiday season. I've tested it for a while now and it seems to work fine with virtual dj and Ableton Live. I would recommend this to anyone who uses more than just two channels to dj. The only strange thing with this card is that when I start virtual dj and load one song into one deck the sound comes out really crunchy and wierd. But if you load a song into the other deck (and don't even play it) the crunchyness goes away. It could be my setup though and not the soundcard. worth the money..... 2008-10-17

This seems a good little product. I've bought it to attach to a Toshiba laptop working with mAirList scheduling software. Via a Yamaha mixing desk Sound quality is good, the device is recognised directly by windows XP SP2 without hthe need to install the drivers. Although I did find that using the native Windows driver did cause some cross talk between the Cart channels and the main player decks, which was a problem for playing in jingles. Interestingly Windows also mis assigned the output channels However installing the ASIO drivers (which took about 2 minutes) got rid of these problems and made everything stable and I think sound crisper. For just a little over £100 this seems to be a great multichannel device. It enables me to work the way I want on the move. Easy to set up to the point of being simplistic...which can't be a bad thing!!!

At DJ Store we strongly promote the idea that best people to review DJ equipment are the people that use it on a daily basis.

We want to hear your comments and we want you to share them with our customers - but we also have a few rules:

• The Best reviews are short (no more than 500 words).
• Stay on topic - stay relevant to the product.
• Write in proper english and keep it clean or it won't be published.
• Feel free to suggest a similar product that you feel is better.
• No links, phone numbers, website addresses etc will be published.
• Most important of all - think about it!

Before you write simply "this mixer is junk" and submit it - think about who else would be using it? You can't compare a £50.00 mixer with a £500.00 one - so consider the price when writing.

We want you to tell us the good and bad points about our DJ equipment - but remember the best reviews don't just say whether you liked or disliked a product, but also why!
