| Mariah Hegemann 14.04.2012 | OP, the twitch would be great for controllerism, fun effects, and the like. It's also an awesome unit that you can use for many years to come, and it has its own soundcard built in (you would need to buy a soundcard for the mixtrack). The mixtrack is an okay unit, very easy to learn on, etc. However, you will want to upgrade later on in the future if you stick with this and then you'll have those Numark headphones (which only lasted me three months. Not terrible, but not great.) There are also some decent twitch mappings on these boards for Traktor around here, but it does have a factory mapping and an included overlay. Basically, the twitch is a more quality unit, but the mixtrack isn't a bad choice either. |

| Chasidy Heckenbach 13.04.2012 | the twitch is quite a step up from the mixtrack pro in terms of build quality and controls. the main plus for the mixtrack is that it has pretty decent jogs for the money - but if you're not bothered about jogs you'd have a lot more potential with the twitch. there's a lot more traktor mappings around for the mixtrack as it's older and (i believe) ships with a copy of traktor LE. the twitch ships with itch, so you'll have to pay extra to buy traktor. this isn't such a big deal now tho - as there's no "upgrade from traktor LE" price any more anyway - they've just slashed the price of buying traktor pro to 89usd. and you *will* want traktor pro instead of traktor LE. on the plus side the twitch will also give u the option of using itch ofc... |
