i-Mix Reload. I can get one cheap but don't know if it is very good, its only for stuffing around at home on and getting my skills up while i save up for a better one, but yea does anyone know how good they are?

any info would be appreaciated

Heres a picture to show you, and yes i know the orange is ugly.

i actually kinda like the colour

In my opinion (and i have done some research on midi controllers) they are all built under the same basic principal, the only differences are what programs they are focused on running with, how well layed out they are, size and amount of buttons, and extra's like built in sound cards etc....

i have a Hercules RMX and its a pretty all round package, but around $500, more expensive then many, they are nothing you would want to do anything but house parties with though, but for a cheap muck around for traktor, VDJ, ableton or whatever then they are great, very compact as well, but if they are a low end brand that arent very popular and well known then good luck finding mappings for certain software

Oh k. because i just want them to learn on, beat matching, mixing etc and then upgrade when i get better. they and in good condition and they are selling for 150 should i buy? i also will upgrade to CDJs when i get better so would i be able to swap over easily?

im more then glad i started on Midi controllers and software, although its easier, its also alot!!! cheaper (better then $1500 for CDJ's then finding you hate DJing ) and teaches you the little things like cue's and loops n fun shit, you can practice beatmatching but as many have told me you wont proply be able to practice beatmatching until you get off Midi as most programs and controllers have Auto sync and u somtimes find yourself using it

but yeh thats hell cheap ($150), i meen $500 for me was a stretch at the time, but i also wanted the built in sound card and the Hercules RMX is 1 of the bigger midi's compared to the low ends, thats why i chose it, and its also compatible with VDJ, traktor and ableton, although i havent got it working with traktor yet

[DJ_Shiver]

Yea the program it comes with is traktor, ok thanks heaps for your help you really helped me out here

[Jaz]

yeh well if it comes with traktor then it should be programed and work great with it, Just remember that will Probly be a light version of Traktor not the Full version

your Welcome
