Ultra-compact, ultra-light, ultra-practical and ultra-unique with its lights, the DJControl Starlight packs all the features needed to mix and scratch with Serato DJ Lite. With its built-in audio interface, the DJControl Starlight offers pre-listening in the headphones so you can then play your mix on speakers, which is perfect for learning or creating new mixes. The system is so comprehensive for its size that it boasts all the essential features such as bass equalization/filter knobs for smooth transitions or touch-sensitive jog wheels for easy scratching. The added bonus: the bright and powerful RGB backlighting with unique strobe effects to make it easier to learn how to mix.

I have this controller. I like it. It's good for throwing ina backpack or as a backup controller. There are worse ones to start out with but you might want something bigger if you're going to take it seriously and it will be your only controller.

Plug it in. Power on. Press play with a playlist. Hit that auto sync button on the laptop. Hit that auto mix button in the software. Wave your hands in the air and start clapping.
You don't even need to touch the mixer anymore after the first time powering it on.

What software does this work with? Can I just use Spotify or Apple music? Or do I have to have non-drm mp3s on my device?

Edit: Sold out

I have this- it works with basically every DJ software like VirtualDJ and Serato (though, not the full version of Serato, oddly enough). You need the software to control this, though it can probably be MIDI mapped if you're so inclined.

Been a professional DJ for years and having this in my bag has saved me more than a few times when something went awry with my main DDJ-SX controller. One of those things you'll rarely use if you're a 'pro' DJ, but glad you have when something happens.

I wouldn't get this as a beginner though. The buttons are too clicky IMO and will mess with your timing. The jogwheels are touch sensitive (like many higher-end controllers) but really small. I've accidentally paused music by touching them on top rather than just the side, which you'll need to do to adjust syncing tracks since your timing was off. If you're working a gig that's much less 'DJ' centric, say a trivia night or karaoke or something, this is great for freeing up your hands when you transition between tracks (rather than scratching in or something).

Just my one cent (adjusted for inflation).

It's midi mappable, so if you can control a thing with a generic midi device, then yes.
