    For that money you won’t get perfect. Denon DN-MC3000 is the controller for you, but you need to spend a little more.

    Hi EveryBody I need your help, I have 2 problems I own 2 denon s3700’s that was advertised as working with Virtual dj, but since I have made it work, it keeps glitching on me. So I would never use it as a midi controller when I dj at a party. If there is anyone using there denon 3700 0r 1200 with virtual dj without any problems please contact me on how you are doing it.
    My second problem is that I found the greatest MIdi controller for a mobile dj, but one glitch, it has the worst jog wheels for scratching so i sent it back. Now I am looking for a new controller that has the same features but with a worthy scratch and NO LIMITED EDITION software (but if it has everything I am willing to pay for pro), these are the features I NEED:

    •Uses USB Flash Drive and as a media source (I REALLY NEED THIS, WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO AT A PARTY AND YOUR LAPTOP DIES & DON’T SAY IT WONT!) and both Jog Wheels plays from the same USB
    •Auto Fader Start (in both cross and Line Fader)
    •An independant mixer with the ability to plug in 2 external devices (turntable or CDJ’s)
    •MIDI mappable where i can map all the buttons so i can stay off the keyboard.
    •Auto Touch Rewind, Auto Cue, A. CUE, CUP? or whatever it is that they call it (the ability to touch the jog wheel and the song starts Playback at the last cue point no matter what part of the song your in.)
    •natively supported software for MIDI control either Serato Itch or Virtual Dj Pro, (It has to mix videos also so Traktor is out of the question)
    •Very Good Jogwheels for Scratching and a good soundcard to handle the external devices (turnatble, cdj etc.)
    •On Board Effects, loops and Cues that work with the USB and midi software
    •Auto – Relay
    •Microphone inputs Preferably 2
    This is the Ultimate Midi Controller, please dont say nothing comes with all of these features becausee as I said previously I had a midi controller with all these things it was the American Audio Versadeck but the scratching was lousy. I haven’s seen a better one yet, If you know of one please email me the name at [EMAIL]nighttimeent@yahoo.com[/EMAIL].
    Thank You for letting me vent!

    Thanks for the suggestion Phil, buts it cost 400 quid here. Phil what are your thoughts on the soon to be released behringer. A4? I’ve heard the jogs are great and it has kills. And to top it off it should cost the same as a mixtrack pro.

    I would definitely have a play around with any behringer product before buying it. They can be hit and miss with build quality although they seem to be working on this and offer an excellent warranty. I would follow Phil’s advice and save a little more cash (I know its hard…I’m a terrible and impatient saver!). A mediocre budget will most likely yield a mediocre result – a controller that is of poor quality or will get boring/limit you’re mixing AGAIN. You won’t find anything with half decent jog wheels for you’re budget either.
