American Audio VMS 4 is a dj controller designed with the mobile DJ in mind. Solidly built (a tank comes to mind) with balanced XLR outputs. Two XLR mic inputs with three band EQ and a fully functional four channel mixer. The built in mouse pad is a good idea but its very small. This is an interesting approach to the DJ controller and it will work well for many mobile DJs. The VMS 4 ships with Virtual DJ LE. Virtual DJ is not the software for the club DJ who wants to create original mixes using effects and scratching techniques. But for the mobile DJ its simplicity may be a plus.
I purchased a VMS4.1 after selling my DDJ-SX and I am so happy with that choice! American Audio builds tanks of controllers that can withstand anything short of a nuclear attack! I highly recommend this to anyone, whether pressing play or mixing!
I set out on my own after working with a dj that past year, this is the controller i chose because of the features, and because I liked using Virtual DJ, Smooth control, two mic inputs and being able to assign the channels through RCA or USB make this controller extremely flexible.
I have purchased the VMS 4.0 nearly 3 years ago, and it is a work horse! No issues at all. I love the size and the weight. I am a nightclub and mobile dj and have used it for both applications with out any issues. Very simple and yet realistic control for music manipulation, beat juggling, and even scratching. Definitely recommend to everyone especially anyone that is an multi-op company looking for an inexpensive but HIGH quality mixer and midi controller in one.
I'm a professional DJ with over 35 years of experience. So I've mixed on just about every thing there is to mix on and all I have to say is wow. I've never seen a controller at this price point act like a 2000 dollar mixer. This thing is nice I mean its not the best looking controller but man. The sound on this thing is top notch. I only gave it four stars cause there is still room for improvement but you can't go wrong buying the vms4.1. I love the weight on this thing too no cheap plastic feel. This is all steel construction . My only grip is one of my nobs was off by a notch so quality control is a must American Audio, o and how about a full version of Virtual DJ instead of this lame Le version. But other than that I'm golden. I only hope this thing last as long as some of my other top quality mixers which are 20 and thirty years old and still kick butt. O American audio if your listening how about a controller for house Dj's with knobs instead of faders. Like Rane did with there New line.
Love this controller. Once I figured out how to position my hands when using the sliders, no longer hit the little track pads next to the wheels (which causes the computer screen to go crazy on the folders). Built like a tank and I think it works great, despite what some people think of it.
