Meh
It has some truly unique sounds that work wonders in experimental songs, but really it's nothing special. If you find it at a thrift store and it's not too pricey I'd recommend picking it up.

Very fragile and already generic to begin with.
I got it brand new, accidentally dropped it and dented it, and now it records super quiet, and it already recorded quiet to begin with. Because of this, I have to turn the volume up a lot after recording, so there's a lot of background feedback. So you can do a lot better than this, but for dirt cheap and for beginners, it's decent. I hardly trust Behringer to begin with.

Not the best monitors, but certainly a good choice for beginners.
You can do much better in terms of monitors, but a decent price from a trusted brand, you can't go wrong. The bass presence is felt nicely and it sounds good.

It's a tapedeck, not much else can be said really.
The left side of mine doesn't work cause I got it at Goodwill, but I'm sure in perfect working condition it's one of the greatest tape decks.

My go-to default VST for FL Studio
So many great sounds and easy to use. Infinitely recommended.

Decent
The sounds are very cheap and recording with it sucks, but for practicing you could do worse and if you're going for a 90s Dark Ambient-era Burzum sound it could work well for you.

One-of-a-kid synths from a free and easy to use program.
For some truly unique pad sounds on a budget, hit this VST up.

Mostly trash.
This CDJ is perhaps the most limited one of it's kind. The wheel is a joke and it's hardly usable. Good luck trying to cue up something with this hunk of plastic.

Practice = Great, Performance = Not so great
Recommended for practicing by yourself, but performing on stage for an audience? Definitely upgrade to something better.

It's a Walkman.
Mine plays ever so slightly lower pitch than it's supposed to, but otherwise it's your run-of-the-mill Walkman. Not the best of the Walkman's (Walkmen?) to come or preceeding, but it's usable.

I had the first one.... it was hella expensive and my parents wouldn't get it for me so I begged it off a grandparent. Still have it somewhere. I'm pretty sure that original Walkman rolled a bit slow too...

An excellent mixer for practicing.
I've never used this for big stage performances so I can't say how good it is for something like that, but for just practicing it's one of the best mixers. My only complaints is that the crossfader could be more quick and smooth and the microphone plugs in the back. Who makes their mic plug in the back? That makes no sense. Otherwise, it does what you want it to for small performances and practicing, and I'd definitely recommend it.

It's basically what you'd expect from Walkman headphones....
These are the headphones that came with the original Walkman from the 80s, so as you can expect the quality is pretty low. Regardless, if you're in a bind and it's the only pair of headphones you can use, it's a good find. And it's also a small novelty item, too. But I definitely would not recommend these headphones for anything remotely professional.

It does what you expect.
It's a mini amp, it's nothing special but it's a neat little novelty thing and nice when you're on the go and just want to practice. It's also good for me because my laptop doesn't have a microphone port, so I can plug my SM58 into the amp and plug the amp into my brother's computer and use my 58 for recordings. It's a weird setup, but it works.

Not great but unique.
There are much better auto-tune programs like Antares Auto-Tune, but Gsnap produces a sound that is technically auto-tune, but sounds so unique and weird. It's hard to explain, but it sounds like a much different auto-tune than what you hear on most records. If you're sick of the regular auto-tune and want something more unique and quirky, I'd recommend it. But on the other hand it's also very basic and limited.
555
Novelty at best.
It's a nice little novelty app to practice with, but it's really not usable for live performances or anything professional. It's a bit like a game, to be honest. It's fun to play with when you're on a car ride or a plane trip and want to flex your turntable muscles a little bit, but it's still nothing remotely professional.

One of the best VST's out!
I'd recommend this VST for any genre of music you produce. Regardless of genre, the VST really makes your guitars and bass stand out and sound a thousand times better! Even with hip hop music, throw it on your sample or recording and it makes it pop.

Business as usual.
Besides being a bit thin, it's a good way to promote one of Sacramento's most well-known record stores.

Good stuff.
Your regular old pick. I will say though, it's my favorite pick to use with my bass.

Your run-of-the-mill external hard-drive. It does the job.
Nothing really to say about it. It's an external hard drive, it does what you want and it works great.

Turntablism? Trash mostly. Mixing? Pretty good.
If you're a turntablist, it's near impossible to use this. Worst things first, there's no reverse setting. So scratching? Unless you can scratch without reverse, consider the most important element in DJing impossible to perform (if you are trying to do anything slightly technical that is. Basic BASIC scratching is performable). Beat juggling is fine, though. Doing mixes? It's pretty good. Since mixing and transitioning between records doesn't require much technicality crossfader-wise, it's no biggie. You can fade in and out, focus on one turntable, the works. So if you're just doing live mixes and you're on a VERY TIGHT budget, you should check this out. Now for some minor irks. I hate how the headphone and microphone ports are to the left and right respectively of the crossfader. It makes beat juggling even tougher when you have the mic and headphones plugged in. And for some reason, when I turn Talkover off, it distorts and compresses the volume to an ungodly and ear-shattering level, and there's no way to fix it. At least, I haven't tried to fix it because I always hit it on accident and get too startled to focus on trying to fix it before my speakers explode. Overall, it's what you pay for. Shell out $50 for a mixer? You get issues. I always learn this lesson the hard way, so I hope you don't. If you want to do turntable tricks, don't bother with this thing. If you just mix and you need something to hold you over until you can get a better mixer, this might do the trick. Plus it has microphone talkover and MP3 compatibilty, so that's good.
