Whats best for Dubstep the NS6 or the NS7?

[DJSp1n]

Who said the Mixtrack Pro is not worth it? Trust me, its worth it, don't go spending $1000 like crazy, buy something cheap, not something "challenging" if youre just starting. That's just my opinion.

Get the NS7 if you plan on scratching. I had one and it was awesome. If not get the NS6.

I'd get the NS6 and call it day. If you invest in a some solid gear you won't be looking to sell and upgrade anytime soon.

Wait. You want to buy a NS6 or NS7 and you're still starting out DJing?

Get a cheap, beginner controller and learn the basics. The worst thing to do is spend a grand on something you might not enjoy or see through.

You're right. Only the numark ns6 can be used to play dubstep. Get that.

I am completely oblivious to the point of the topic. We're talking about mixing dubsetp right? All you need is a standard mixer and two deck control to mix. Heck, you can get Traktor or Virtual DJ and just use the keyboard on the computer if you really wanted to (with some sort of audio interface that gives you two outputs of course, one for the mix and one for the cue).

Firstly, as a lot of others said, I'd also suggest going for a cheaper controller starting out and seeing if DJ'ing is what you really enjoy, because it is a very expensive hobby. I can tell you from experience I started out with a Numark Mixtrack and an Audio 2 and that lasted me for a solid year before I upgraded because I realized I needed more than 2 decks for what I wanted to do.

But if you're set on in and just need an opinion between the NS6 and the NS7, it'd be good to also consider whether or not you're going to be taking it to shows. The NS6 is a portable controller, and the NS7 is heavy and bulky. If you're going to be doing mobile shows (bdays, weddings etc.) this should be factored, because it just adds to the list of things you're bringing with you to the show, and the time you'll need to set up and take down. Portability is the sole reason why I sold my turntables and DJM mixer, because in the end the crowd doesn't really care what you're using, it's what you can do with it.

My opinion is to go with the NS6, because it gives you the ability to expand into 4 deck mixing if that's what you want to do. And I think that besides the motorized platters, the NS7 doesn't offer much for its price.

Ns6 is nice was torn between ns7 or ns6 being an old school vinyl dj I was litterly undecided for over a year an being in same boat as local music store refuses to bring either in without you committing to buying first made me even more torn.
In the end I choose the ns6 not because I ever decided. Was a matter of being able to get a ns6 for 400 in mint condition.

Have no complaints besides itch feeling like a old vb program but being that it works and works great I can not complain. Used traktor for over 10 years so itch is different for me but get the job done and at the end of the day that's all you need

I'd say the NS6... It makes the most Dubstep-like noises when you hit it with a hammer.

why not making the fun and suggest him cdj2000 + db4 just because its completely wayne if he spend 200€ or 5000€ to learn cueing, phrasing and beatmatching? not? okay, then we stay friendly ^^

They don't even have floor models you can LOOK at? Ridiculous.

I would honestly step back before making this decision and try to understand what you want out of your gear and how you intend to use it. The NS7 is really nice to look at, but how does scratching (which can be done jogwheels for the most part) tie into the genre you want to mix?

I guess what I'm saying is an all-in-one package isn't the only solution; the beauty of controllers these days is they can all work with each other, so I don't recommend buying one of the most expensive controllers on the market unless you know exactly why it costs so much. I own a Mixtrack (not even the Mixtrack Pro), and I don't regret buying a low end controller to start.

I would also consider finalizing your decision and purchasing online. Check the Buy/Sell forum and eBay and see if you can get a better deal.
