After buying "all things portable" and returning them, I am KEEPING this!
by MichaelAndrewDalton (5 out of 5 stars)

I am writing a brief note here a day into ownership. I may write a more detailed review after more time with the unit. In short, if you are not looking for a full-on Numark, Pioneer, or other manufacturer's full-size controller shrunken into this tiny package... then read on. But if you are looking for a very small tool that lets you do pretty much everything essential that is found in the full-size unit, and in some cases, even more, then you may be glad you bought this amazing piece of gear, I am... read on.

First thoughts included, "gee how can i do something with so few dedicated controls?" and the answer was, "you don't want or need to do that, you are buying this to do something else!" And the "something else" was, I wanted to be able to sit on a plane, train, or the sofa, and mix music, explore tracks, from the most convenient places in my life, where a full size rig was just not possible.

I tried the iDJ, and the Dj2Go, and a Pioneer Wego3, every iPad DJ app made (literally) and a stand alone CDJ, but all of them were NOT the solution for travel and lazy-couch sitting.

Enter the Monster GODJ. This unit has an unbelievable list of features, multi-looping, multi-cue-point, 6 effects, mixing, on board sequencer, on-board pads, on board sample-to-pad-assignment, and much much more. At $500 U.S., it ain't cheap, and if the money is a stretch for you, you should try one before you invest, to make sure it meets your needs. But if you have the cash, and want one of the coolest, and possible the best, portable all-in-one dj mixer, MP3 player, production-tool, and much more, and are NOT planning to do everything on it you can do with a full size mixer in real-time.... buy it!

It does pretty much everything you can do on any other device, the only draw back is that it is not as performance friendly as say a Pioneer DDJ-xx, but it is only 10x3x1/2 inche(s) (actually smaller) , and requires NO computer, NO CD collection, not even a table, really.

The unit is completely capable for dj'ing in the context of 'spinning records' at events or parties where you are mostly transitioning from one song to another, everything you need to do that "live" is perfectly acceptable, if you plan to re-mix on the fly, you can do that, too, but be prepared to do it with the tools provided which might require flexibility on your part.

It is advertised as accepting up to 32GB SDHC, but I have used it with larger cards including SDXC format.

Battery life is crazy-good, in 'auto-dj' mode it has been playing music from 9 AM till now, 1:30 PM, and the battery indicator has not budged!

Audio fidelity is excellent. And, common live performance features like loops and cue points actually are very usable "live", you just have to be willing to learn the interface.

And, this unit also supports recording your mix internally! Two hours worth, and the ability to transfer your recordings to the SD card! Many of the features are found on few if any other mixers, like external audio sources can be run through the full effects section, including the mic input, yes that is correct you can effect, even scratch the line in and the mic inputs. Cool!

Many tout the merits of this unit as a hot backup for their full size rig. Yes. Perfect solution, it even can auto mix to keep the gig going while you trouble shoot the main equipment failure in that scenario. But the unit is also very capable on its own, in the hands of someone willing to take some time to explore, understand, and learn a few new ways to make music :)

Bottom line after my 1st day is this:
-if you can shed your preconceived notion about how things in the user interface SHOULD be, and can also learn a few new tricks
-if you are looking for a completely self-contained unit (sans headphones)
-if you are the type of person willing to invest some time learning " how do I....?" on the unit
-If you have an eye for really well designed and manufactured hi-tech toys/tools
-if you have the money without sacraficing and going without food, fuel, or lights.... :)
-if "spinning records" is more important to you than "remixing", (although you can do both)...
---then....

Buy it!!

Perfect!!!
by ReviewGuide (5 out of 5 stars)

Never knew this item existed. Its awesome, a little complicated at first, but once you nail it. Its great. And just a tip to those who purchase this Product. Please allow the unit to fully charge before using it.

Once you load music on the unit either through the usb or through a SDcard, allow the unit to analyze the music files once you place music on either the Sdcard or Internal Memory, and it may take a while depending on the Sdcard size. But its all worth the wait.

Dont waste your money or time. This does not work like you think it will.
by Philip Plastina (2 out of 5 stars)
June 19, 2018

This product is a cool concept but they need to completely rewrite the software. It does some really cool stuff well and also does not do some really cool stuff it should. That being said its really hard to "set a Cue" Its also impossible to skip ahead in the song on the fly without crashing the processor. It needed more knobs and the Play/Cue buttons stop working after about a year, Common problem. Dont waste your money just use an android device and a quality DJ App instead.

... software for Macs to integrate with it - very good for spontaneous mixes
by AJA (4 out of 5 stars)
November 8, 2017

I wish there was software for Macs to integrate with it - very good for spontaneous mixes, but you can only do ONE TAKE WONDERS! if you mess up while you're recording you either gotta live with it or start over and get it right so you'll want to rehearse before you hit REC. its really just a learning curve, once you figure out what knobs/buttons do what, its pretty effortless.

Crossfader did not work
by Dan Gherman (1 out of 5 stars)
July 1, 2018

Extremely disappointed with the product. The crossfader did not work and no matter what I tried (switching through every option in the settings and updating the version) both tracks would always play at the same time. I also bought the case for this on their website the same day I bought this product, but I have to return it now. Let's hope they are kind enough to refund me.

This is a great product, but it is a little bit too ...
by Matt (3 out of 5 stars)
June 27, 2018

This is a great product, but it is a little bit too big to fit into your pocket. I got worried with the buttons getting pressed in while I had it in there and sure enough, the volume bar on the bottom broke. Mind you this was only 2 weeks into having it. Like I said, it is a great (and expensive) product, but please be careful with it. Luckily mine broke before my 30 days was up, but others might not be so lucky.

You have to add this to your DJ equipment!
by David B. Walley (5 out of 5 stars)
December 16, 2015

Every professional DJ relies on several pieces of equipment to provide music on a professional level. No professional would be caught dead without the proper gear to do any job. This little unit is one of my favorite pieces of equipment. I use it exclusively for small situations such as music for wedding ceremonies in remote locations. All I need is the SD card loaded with the selected music, a small power supply & my Bose L1 Compacts. I also could use the Monster Go DJ to DJ a wedding reception if something catastrophic happened to my main gear. The unit is easy to use & has more features than I'll ever use, but could supply me hours of fun if I wanted to learn about the many tools available in this tiny, solidly built package. Imagine a device that allows you to mix from 2 music players that call upon a library of 10,000 songs loaded on your 32 gig SD card. They're working on the ability to expand the capacity to much more than 10,000 songs & I'll be anxious to download that firmware when it arrives.

I just added a Bluetooth transmitter Miccus Mini-jack TX4: Bluetooth 4.0 Wireless Music Transmitter Featuring APT-XLow Latency Codec, Supports Two Connections at Once and now I can use it with my Braven BRV-PRO. REALLY COOL!
