    When buying a controller, my advice is to buy a controller which you personally feel comfortably using. For me, numark mixtrack pro’s. I would personally suggest buying a cheap, decent controller (not too cheap) as to see if you even like djing or not. You don’t want to splash a lot cash on a controller when you might not end up enjoying it. Obviously I don’t know how rich you are but that’s just my advice. Also, don’t choose different controllers just because you don’t like the effects on the software it comes with. A lot of DJ’s don’t actually use effects often. When being a DJ and performing to a crowd, it’s important that you please the crowd. If there are too many effects which get in the way of the music being heard properly or it messes with the flow, the crowd will be very easily annoyed. Virtual DJ is a brilliant piece of software and a lot of people use it. If you don’t like it, there are other free software sources out there which are good.

    Just want to add in that this is my opinion and other people may want to give you different advice. If you don’t like the advice I have given you, I would suggest putting in a lot of research on equipment you should buy. It took me two weeks to decide what controller I should get.

    wondering what the OP decided on, if he has yet.   I have the Mixtrack Pro 2, not sure if the first one is the same, but the MTP2 has very low cue volume, not loud enough when the PA is rockin’.  It is helping me learn a lot, and I’m glad to have it, just kinda wish I had ponied up another $50 for the Denon  … I am looking to upgrade, and am looking at the Denon MC2000, Pioneer DDJ-SR, and maybe the DDJ-SB… I would like to stick to Serato, as I am liking it so far, and am looking into the DDJ-SR with Serato DJ(not intro)… also considering the Denon MC2000, it’s an Intro controller, so looking into using with upgraded Serato DJ… I like it’s size, and that it’s fairly sturdy build…  my input, would be get something with decent build, and that you can grow into as you learn, instead of something to grow out of as you learn… glad my son wants the MTP2…..LOL
