  4. lo1818 says:

    This thing is awesome but what a pain in the ass to acquire one. The kid from MIT never went into production with them and the only way to get one is to build it yourself and program the thing in C++. Otherwise I’d have one.

  5. tomguinane says:

    I don’t think you can, it’s open source though so you can build one yourself and as far as i know that’s the onlt way to get hold of one ;)

  6. typodaemon says:

    I think the second track is actually Robot Needs Oil – Defected (Giacomotto remix)

  7. ljmike1204 says:

  8. Webking271 says:

    It’s probably the You Tube video’s lossy compression, not the actual audio output from Live.

  15. SeventhFlow says:

    can someone answer me? whats the diffence between a dj mixer and a dj midi. (what do they do and advantage) plz I’m a noob at this. but i got traktor pro lol

  16. sheepybreaker says:

    You ever notice lack of intergrity in the audio quality running through Live from time to time, I think it may be when i have the fliters on but it just doesnt kick raw style like i like it to

  17. DjPastra says:

    wow that’s nice how much?

  18. humislair says:

    The music is so awesome.

  19. TheoSamaritan says:

  20. synapticflow says:

    people who say people suck suct

  21. dodoshlodo says:

    goto their forum and express your interest so we can all get one

  22. dodoshlodo says:

    if anyone wants one go to their website, search Aurora mixer. the guys that made it didnt get many orders which makes it hard to ramp up production

    if u wanna buy one goto their forum and express your interest so they can start production again.

    u can get it as a DIY kit or fully built, they’re cheap too

    i want one!

  23. citrizz says:

    this is finally available to order. it’s $320 USD for the complete kit (requires a hex screw driver to assemble. all soldering is done for you) or you can order the $250 version which requires soldering. It’s $20 to ship in the US, or $100 to ship internationally. Everyone please support this company. they need 50 orders submitted by Sept 1st, and orders will begin shipping on the 4th.
