Starter Controller.
Hi, Im gonna get a dj controller but i really don’t know which one. My budget is £300 ($500). I would like a deck with two jog wheels and lots of que point buttons and effects. I would prefer if everything was spread out rather than squashed together. I dont mind what software it comes with as long as it works with others. The mixtrack pro or vestax typhoon look like good choices but any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Have you used the search function?
Mixtrack pro is a good starter, or save up more, make your budget higher and look at an s2 and an audio2 soundcard.
Yep S2 is only £329 till the end of March
You can’t get better for that price:
Mixtrack Pro or S2 while it’s on sale if your budget can stretch to that. It’s a great deal, as you get the fully featured software with it.
i would definitely stretch that bit and go for the S2… apart from it being a better controller than the mixtrack (pro) as nathanward says you get the full version of traktor pro 2 and not just the limited version. upgrading from the limited version to the pro is probably close to 100quid as well (which u will want to do at some point).
Definitely get the S2. The Mixtrack Pro’s build quality is nothing compared to the S2’s, and its layout is kind of weak. The S2 is a very well thought-out unit with lots of effects capabilities, easy cue point access, and a much more professional design than the Typhoon or the Mixtrack Pro. You also get full software with the S2, whereas with the other two controllers you mentioned, you’d have to upgrade to the full editions of the software. There’s also a very handy booth output on the S2, and it basically has a built-in Audio 6 sound card. It’s most definitely the best choice.
