My 3 month late review of Alpha Theta's Omnis-Duo DJ controller

As usual, I'm the last DJ on youtube to review this "newish" controller called Omnis-Duo from Alpha Theta, or really Pioneer DJ. If you want a real take it out of the box and start using it vantage point from a working mobile DJ, then this video is for you. Let me know your thoughts on it.

You just saved me a bunch of headache. I'm a Traktor guy (yeah, I know, I know) but knowing this thing just won't play ball (and reading the manual) and there are better options out there. Wanted to like it!

[@bboymac84]

For the price they shoulda made it tilt screen and give it Beatsource. The prime go kills this.

[@djjack2280]

I love your review. It was very honest. I also love your non chalant attitude.

[@andrewkeller2842]

Agreed… feels fresh too. I really respect his game.

[@andrewkeller2842]

It would take me 3 months just to pronounce the name correctly… 😂

[@blunite545]

I concur with all points raised.

[@jtm71]

Nice honest review. Cool

[@andnegr]

Agree with you Joe at 100%

[@BurstupTV]

Meh. The Numark Mixstream Pro Go is half the price but has speakers and Engine OS, which plays both Rekordbox and Denon/Engine files. And it looks better, too.

[@BigBlockEntertainment]

I like your no BS reviews. I would say at least half the features those 30 min long videos go over most people don’t even use or know how to use. As far as standalone controllers go I went with the Mixtrack Pro go so I could DJ around my pool and use it to practice with the included speakers.

[@bboymac84]

You have update the firmware for it to work with Serato btw

[@bboymac84]

Also you have to analyze your songs from Rekordbox export mode 1st btw

[@dvpoison9184]

did you update ur controller before making the video cuz serato DJ was added in the lastest update

[@DJJoeBunn]

Probably not.

[@ALTERNATIVEMIXTAPES]

I think to get the music streaming to work from your phone to the device, the workflow might be that you have to use Tidal, add the song to your Tidal playlist, then browse to your Tidal playlist on the controller and load the track to one of the decks and then it should output the sound to your wireless speakers. I say this assuming Tidal is supported on the controllers interface as it is in Rekordbox?

[@longbine]

Almost pulled the trigger until I found out there was no streaming. Kind of defeats the purpose.

[@fullfunk]

streaming you buy the extra gear wtff

[@longbine]

@@fullfunk what extra gear are you referring to? I’m talking about streaming services (tidal, beatsource)

[@Hp4Z]

My intention with adding batteries to controllers wasn’t really for streaming exactly, but i started this back in 2010. What i wanted was a device that could follow me around during my day; in the kitchen, in the shop, to my gf’s house, etc., and be moved quickly and to spots with no outlets. Of course, as you said, to release something now, with no streaming is bizarre. Does Mixxx have streaming? This is just a linux pc running mixxx, just like the scs4dj. I certainly never intended it to be marketed as “dj on a camping trip” tool. I saw it as a music discovery device so that we could all spend more to more listening to music, which to me, is the real benefit of streaming.

[@jamisonrease129]

Streaming will soon be available in future updates

[@djmeltron]

Thanks for the great honest review! Definitely won’t be getting this controller. Will look at the Denon Prime.

[@lovewaynenoel]

Hi Joe, has anyone else asked if it does stems or track separation?

[@DJJoeBunn]

I'm probably the wrong person to ask. I definitely don't recall seeing those buttons on it like the FLX-10

[@weddingdjtipsandtricks6531]

I love my prime go

[@jamisonrease129]

Prime Go is outdated... The little tiny jogs seem annoying too...Almost purchased it ... Glad I didn't...lol

[@elliel2k2]

My Numark Mixstream Pro + at $500. cheaper has more functionality than that thing 🤔

[@djcalvin681]

Thx JB. Market will dictate Not for me

[@soundcentral]

You wrote omnUs and not omnis at the beginning of the video.

[@djerikfox]

..the price is insane..😒

[@joserossy5085]

Excelente y honesta opinión, De verdad q no me gusta. 😮

[@andrewkeller2842]

This is a hard pass for me… & for $1500!? Is Pioneer out of their minds??? It really seems like they are truly loosing it…

[@andrewkeller2842]

@@michaellynch8612 just curious - what were you using prior to these?
