The majority of reviews for the MixTrack Pro online have been very positive and complementary. The only really negatives we see about the Mixtrack Pro are to do with past stock levels and subsequent supply problems. Those supply problems seem now to be resolved, so really the only question becomes, do you buy the standard Mixtrack, the Mixtrack Pro or the bigger Numark Mixdeck Universal (which is super sexy if you have the budget!)
In terms of a DJ Controller, the Mixtrack Pro, the slightly bigger brother of the standard Mixtrack Pro DJ Controller unit, has an input sound card which is a plus and really means you have everything you need in a portable DJ controller.
