Love them or loathe them (I frequently do at the same time), laptops have become as important as any other part of your DJ setup these days. But for 99.99% recurring of people, laptops are an off-the-shelf purchase with very little leeway for customisation. But enter OOVJ – the ultimate in computer in a box DJ specific functionality. Andrew Unsworth positively giggled like a schoolgirl when Valeway said yes to a demo unit. What follows is another Unsworth epic review.
It’s fair to say that the OOVJ isn’t going to appeal to everyone, but it definitely does have a market. If it didn’t, the OODJ before it wouldn’t have stuck around long enough to become the OOVJ.
