			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img align="left" alt="Gemini iTrax" title="Gemini iTrax" src="http://www.geminidj.com/images/iseries_images/iseries_lrg_images/itraxfront.jpg" /><a target="_blank" href="http://www.geminidj.com">Gemini</a> have announced the new product in their iSeries line of DJ equipment &#8211; the <a target="_blank" href="http://www.geminidj.com/iseries_itrax.html">iTrax</a> which allows you to plug your iPod into the top of the mixer and have your entire music collection at your fingertips. As with most mixers you get an eq on the iPod channels, mic insert, headphone jack, option for aux inputs (CD/turntable), master out and record out. Another useful feature is the video out which will allow you to connect your mixer to a projector/tv and make use of the video features of the latest gen iPods. <img align="right" alt="Numark iDJ 2" title="Numark iDJ 2" src="http://www.numark.com/images/products/large/idj2_large.jpg" /></p>
<p>There are however some features that make this a less than desirable product to own</p>
<p>You will need 2 iPods (who has 2) so that you can mix from track to track.</p>
<p>If you two, then you will need to have the same collection on both as there&#8217;s nothing worse than having the next track on the source you are currently sending to the speakers.</p>
<p>This has all been done before anyway by <a target="_blank" href="http://www.numark.com">Numark</a> with their <a target="_blank" href="http://www.numark.com/products/product_view.php?v=overview&#038;n=169">iDJ</a> which is now in its second incarnation. The first iDJ had the same features as the Gemini product but without the video (IIRC). The second gen iDJ recognises the fact that people don&#8217;t have two iPods and will allow you to mix from track to track through just a single music player &#8211; a much better solution if you ask me.</p>
<p>The Numark iDJ (2 iPod) is available from <a target="_blank" href="http://www.decks.co.uk">decks.co.uk</a> for £169 and the iDJ2 for £429. The Gemini iTrax is reported to be coming in at around £100 which is what should be expected for something like this.</p>
<p>If you are seriously considering buying an iPod DJ package and have the money to spend go for the iDJ2 any day as the other two require you to have two iPods to use it properly!</p>
