    Default Whats best for Dubstep the NS6 or the NS7?

    I've been saving up money to get one but I'm not sure which will fit Dubstep the most, it looks like the NS6 has a lot more effects and features then the NS7. But I seen people making Dubstep with the NS7 and its just as good as the NS6, one of the reasons I am stuck between the two is that the NS6 is smaller and compact and the NS7 has the turning wheels so its like its really playing and it seems like it would help out a lot with scratching and the timing and accuracy of doing it. But the NS6's fancy lights and about 3 times more buttons and sliders seems like it would fit... Btw to clear this up I am a noob at this, I worked with FL Studio and made my own and was hoping they could help me and even if not I still want them for mixing songs to. Thanks for reading

    you would be just mixing, get whatever is cheaper.

    go try out a bunch of controllers before buying one.

    The NS6 is around $1,000 and the NS7 is around $1,300. My friend told me to get the Numark Pro Mixer for $200 but its made of plastic and not many features on it, I want something challenging if I'm going to spend money on it might as well get one that's worth it and that will give me something to look forward to learning, I'm just not sure of the two that would fit me. My local Musicians Shop wont let anyone try them out cause they said they're too expensive to just let random people mess with them.

    where do you live?

    have you tried the Kontrol S4, or the VCI 400?

    even a twitch or something. there are a lot of options, Numark is not the only brand.

    I have never owned or tried any of them lol, I was suggest Numark since I am completely new to pretty much everything in the DJ world. I can play Guitar and Drums but I never touched a DJ board, or mixer or anything along them lines. I am going to see about going to clubs and asking for a hand in lessons and pay them for it of course for helping me. I'm working with $7.298 dollars I've saved up in the past 7 or almost 8 months now. I didn't know what to expect on price ranges so I just saved up that much just incase. Btw thanks for helping me

    How stupid is that. There's this chain of music gear stores in the Netherlands where practically everything is touchable (and you may even play with it if you want to). You can't believe how much gear they sell, just because people are allowed to fool around with it for a bit!

    but OT: different controllers are made for different workflows. So not everything may just suit you. The NS6 and NS7 are clearly designed for different purposes, so choosing between those is a matter of preference as well. So don't fool yourself by just looking at some pictures and decide on which has the prettiest lights or whatever, but make sure you can somewhere actually try things out. And when playing with it, you'll know when you've found the right controller

    Yeah, absolutely love that store. Bought my monitors there as well, after hours of extensive listening to all sorts of alternatives. Guys must've gone mad because of me

    I still go there occasionally, just to play around with stuff. It's seriously the best way to choose gear
