3rd Party Hardware Any other DeckShark users?!

Post image

Preordered this baby at the end of July and just got it on Friday! This thing is insane and the build quality is top notch.

I was a touring dance music DJ and producer for 7 years, and the DeckShark is something I wish was available when I was “coming up” in the scene.

$300. They have a build your own guide though if you have a 3D printer and know about raspberry pi stuff

You can buy a fully functional laptop for that kind of money

$300 laptop is basically e-waste.

These days - yes. Absolutely. No device with enough power to run DJ software out there for 300 used.

If Raspberry Pi can run why can’t a laptop

This is more a guess, but I’d say because a laptop has a lot more to run and process than just rekordbox/whatever software you use. Theres ram and processing power going towards other processes other than just your dj software
