If you want to stick with an all in one controller than the terminal mix or digital jockey(2 or 3) would be nice depending on the software you'll use |

| Mellisa Grecu 25.01.2013 | i would say S2 all the way, best 2 channel controller, and you will learn how to dj with it just fine. |
| Ardith Leabo 11.01.2013 | Mixtrack Pro and get it under $200. Don't blow too much cash until you figure it out. |
| Bethann Olortegui 11.01.2013 | The Terminal Mix is a fantastic Serato controller and the jog wheels are superb. It normally comes with Serato DJ Intro which is adequate enough to get started but there's a promotion on at the moment where you can get the full version of Serato DJ in the box. |

| Jerry Fizz 09.01.2013 | Referring to the digitadjtips.com, terminal mix have "best jogwheels in the business", so probably they are better than in traktor s2 |

. It is down to software really though as you can make any controller do what you want with the correct mapping, but some controller just work better and integrate better with different software. |
| Neil Daavettila 09.01.2013 | If I were you, decide what software you like. If it's serato, look at Terminal Mix, as they have very good jogs, but not as good for the s2 for Traktor. I have had Numark Mixtrack Pro, and s2, and both are very good. One much cheaper than the other. Start on a MTP, and decide your software, then sell it and move on to something you know you want (If you want to continue DJing). But as said above, this is asked over and over again. Also look at digitaldjtips.com at their controller guide. Extremely useful |
