Looking for a new controller!!
Posted on: 03.02.2013 by Nga Mcquarter
Hi there!! Well, this time I'm looking for an all-in-one DJ controller to work with, because I believe the time has come to change my hardware and starting doing serious things. I wanna work with Traktor Pro 2.6, because of the effects, and I don't need the 4 channels or jogwheels, but they'd be nice so in a range of price between 250 and 350 I've found 5 controllers that may be good enough, could you help me with choosing the one? I've found some pros and cons, but I'm still not sure about this... Thanks a lot!!

-American Audio VMS4.1 Traktor: Comes with 4 channels, 2 independent mics, awesome build quality, good combo between Analog and MIDI, but I heard about bad sound quality, right? (Price: 290

I've got the original RMX and it's a nice little controller, but I grew out of it VERY quickly. If you want to make full use of the effects in Traktor you need more encoders and pots basically; the RMX2 seems like it'd have the same issue.

Have you completely ruled out the modular options out there?

The Novation Twitch is nice if you don't like jog wheels and there is plenty of support out there for Traktor.

03.02.2013		I'd be looking at the twitch or denon,
Carisa Ridgel
03.02.2013		Haven't had a chance to own either, but from research I've done before, Denon and Stanton stand out from your list.
Personally not a fan of design of Denon, but I heard it's built very well. Stanton got a great value.

@jayvee I like to play Electro & Progressive House (kinda SHM, Dada Life, Cazzette, Swanky Tunes...) but also I'm starting with some OWSLA dubstep and drum n bass.
