Adrift

OK i think I'm leaning towards the typhoon as it seems easier to get and more suited for me. As i said before, i have a desktop and quite a large free desk so i was thinking of having my keyboard in front of the controller. I know this isn't the best option but i was thinking i could map some keys for hot cueing and effects. I am definetely thinking of upgrading to traktor 2.0

Hi again guys, My search has changed its perspective in the past few days and I'm adding a new possible controller into the mix. I was looking at similar controllers to the Mixtrack Pro and i stumbled upon the Vestax Typhoon. This controller looks very good as it is smaller and lightweight, comes with Traktor LE and is cheaper and available for about 250 on Amazon. I was wondering if i could get peoples general opinion on this controller.

I was just wondering if AU$365 is too much for this particular controller. I found a pretty good sale on ebay from Aus http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Numark-Mixtr ... 35b3ffb28b but i was wondering if 365 is too much to spend?

Ok once again thanks for the info. But if i buy it from overseas on ebay, would i still be able to use it with traktor pro? I assume i will but i just want to check

OK thanks for the info. Is there anywhere in sydney to buy a Mixtrack pro for a reasonable price? The ones at JB Hifi and Store DJ are about 400 bucks

I have not made a decision yet but i think i will save more money up and buy either a Mixtrack Pro, Reloop Mixage or some type of vestax controller. One last question, if i buy something from amazon will it be able to be used in Australia?

I think i may have not been clear enough in my post. When I said 'Mixtrack Pros:' i meant the pros of the mixtrack controller, not the mixtrack pro controller. I am looking at the mixtrack and total control but not the mixtrack pro. I don't think i need a sound card as i have one in my desktop computer. I know i will get lots of suggestions to get a laptop but right now i just want to learn and i don't have enough money for one. Also, where would be a good place to test both controllers as i live in Sydney and most of the DJ stores do not have them in the shop

Hi, I am a beginner dj looking into buying a digital controller. I have never djed before but have fiddled around with traktor once or twice. My price range is 100-150 dollars and i play mainly house and dubstep music. I have narrowed my search down to 2 controllers but i would like some help with the final decision. My 2 controllers are the Numark Mixtrack and the Numark Total Control. I have made a list of pros and cons for these 2 controllers. (Mixtrack) Pros: Cheaper, Newer, More attractive Cons: Harder to use with Traktor pro (Total Control) Pros: Comes fully compatible with traktor pro, better (imo) layout. Cons: Slightly more expensive, older I would like to make a decision between these 2 and i hope you can help me with my search.
