Itch is easier interface to get into.

Mixtrack Pro. IMO the twitch is just new and shiny and so everybody wants it.

The mixtrack is huge, made of plastic and uninspired.

Seriously who the fuck decided you should put a master fader between the channel faders?

This. It's a good beginner controller but it has average build quality, an uninspired layout and no bundled software.

The twitch is new and shiny and awesome. As someone who has had my hands on it, I recommend it.

Ok the twitch yes it new and that is what scares me especially the touch strip and those buttons don't look like they can take a betting and I don't know how get the tech support will be.

Oh yeah its not released yet and I want my gear with in the next two weeks and I doubt its going to be released by then.

Thanks guys for your help but I need something to practice on and develop a skill level before I upgrade bear that in mind.

Thanks I value your opinions and help

I don't think you should worry about build quality or support woes with Novation, they are very well respected.

i have to vote for the twitch if you can wait. pretty sure it will serve you a long time and is a bargain price for what you get.

if you really must have jog wheels then look elsewhere. if you like the format of the twitch i'd say thats your best bet atm.

It all depends on what you want to do. "Classic" mixing, or balls-to-the-wall, button mashing controllerism? The twitch (and ITCH) seems to be more geared towarsd controllerism, whereas for example the Mixtrack is a more "normal" setup, geared towards classic mixing.

Now, if you're a beginner, I'd say, start out with "normal" mixing, and once again, for the beginner bedroom DJ, the Mixtrack Pro is good value for money. The Twitch seems like an awesome piece of hardware, but I'm not sure if a beginner can justify the price.

[MrPopinjay]

Dude there's no reason you can't do normal mixing with the twitch at all.

I find it hard to justify spending money on something like the mixtrack when it's just going to be replaced shortly after.
