    Don’t get me wrong, the SCS4DJ is a hell of a controller. Just I’ve played with the Mixdeck alot and I like it alot, maybe the StantonSCS4DJ is better I dont know, it’s just that the mixdeck works amazingly with me lol, I love it. So it’s not a response as more like an opinion, if I were to choose, it would be the mixdeck. They are both amazing products anyways.

    Have you noticed any faults with the MixDeck? That I should be aware of?

    you can’t really compare then as one has CDs and one doesn’t. How important are CDs to you? Also, do oyu or do you not want to use a laptop? Again, there’s a clear demarcation there.

    Well a laptop is always going to be with me no matter what as it will be my back up, CDs are not 100% important to me but they are a great tool, but i have my 1tb external HDD where I store all my music, along with them all on CDs for back up. I see how not needing a laptop with the SCS 4 DJ would be great to be able to set up almost anywhere. But I have seen major flaws with a lot of reviews and to seems to me like an expensive toy. The MixDeck seems to be very well built and aimed at higher up users then the SCS 4 DJ which tries to make it available to more people by taking out the need to buy DJ software and taking out the laptop. I even went to a local DJ’s house to try the SCS 4 DJ last night and found that it creaks and groans when you even lightly twist it and it even feels more like a toy then a full DJ system. The MixDeck knows what it is aimed at and sticks with it. I really think that I am better off getting the MixDeck over the SCS 4 DJ.

    Some input about the SCS 4 DJ

    The SCS 4 DJ had some issues with it taking a very looong time to import music and so on but
    there was an software update reasently that fixed all that so after the update it is a great unit.
    It is also MIDI so if you wich you can use it with your laptop and software (wich IMO takes away all its advantages)
    I have also heard from people that it is a great unit now after the update!
    The Mixdeck I have not tested or read about but I am sure it is a good one to.
    It is hard to give you advice because they are very different units…..

    That is one major flaw I have heard about all over the web, But after much time I have chosen to go with the MixDeck. The SCS 4 DJ is more aimed at low end users and it seems more like a toy to me then a full system. It being a MIDI controller and a full system is wonderful but it lacks a lot of features, one that turned me off was the cue system they put in there, it didnt fit my style at all, i tend to loop then mash cues. The MixDeck is layed out very well, nothing feels cramped on it or even looks out of place. The only thing I have not been able to check on it is the brightness of the screens, my laptop is wonderful for brightness, if i turn the brightness up all they way its like a maglight, i see EVERYTHING even used it in a black out to help me find food, but with that aside, I thank you all for your input and time.
