    I see what you mean there. It is indeed reassuring that Behringer are confident that their products are durable enough to give them that sort of guarantee. So, I guess I’m gonna have to wait for a few months to get my controller! 🙁 Let’s hope that it’s gonna be worth the wait.

    Have you thought about a software choice yet?

    Before I switched to all digital, I downloaded my software and played about with it just using my keyboard and mouse.

    It would be worth while getting hold of some software to familiarise yourself with it before your controller turns up.

    Yes I have, I’m ruling out virtual DJ & serato so I’m gonna go with the newest versions of either Torq or Traktor, though I noticed that the Behringer is more optimized for traktor, but I’m liking the new Torq interface better.

    Daaaaaaaaaaamn!! Well, It’s a good thing that I didn’t get the torq, then, huh? Seriously? They’re just abandoning a whole line of products just like that? I wouldn’t have expected that from Avid, being the industry standard in many areas. Tsok tsok tsok, SHAME!

    Read the comments at the end though. From what I can see, people have found Traktor to be a better choice in the end.

    Yes I have! I guess I’m going with Traktor then! After all, the Behringer DOES look like it’s designed for Traktor more than any other DJ software.

    Btw, did you check out the latest Mixxx software? It’s awesome & it’s free which adds more to its awesomeness!

    Hmmm, not sure about Mixxx to be honest. I tried a version about 3 years ago, and it was no where near Traktor.

    I’ve not tried the latest version, however I think there’s a reason its free; its not quite up to the job.

    I’ve tried it a few years back as well but now it has changed completely. It’s still not as good as traktor but for a free program it has way too much to offer now with midi & it comes with mappings for a whole bunch of midi controllers & it also has 4 sample decks. It only falls short on the effects section in my opinion & some of Traktor’s bells & whistles under the hood. I suggest you check it out, or at least check their website. The program is impressive, it’s way better than some of the starter DJ programs that you actually have to pay for!

    Yeh, I’ve looked. It looks OK, but I have Traktor already so definitely won’t be swapping!

    Ha, not really! TP2 costs next to nothing now. It’s worth the investment I think.

    True, true. I love that they’re upgrading almost everyone’s programs for free. Nice move! Looking fwd to 2.5 with the remix decks, but unfortunately they don’t go into full effectivity unless you have the F1!

    hey guys, interesting thread! I’m a beginner as well and looking to buy my first controller. Right now i got the numark total control to learn on from a friend of mine. I already know i love traktor software so this is my choice. First i was thinking about JB systems kontrol 3, but this controller isnt mappable at this moment with traktor software. Next to that i tought about the kontrol s2, but is a bit too much money right now. Also i got my eyes on some bargaines for a reloop digital jockey 2 master edition. Any of u got some experience with that one or thoughts about it?Seems a good choice for working with traktor software.

    The Behringer CMD Studio 4A i just discovered thru this thread simply looks amazing with great features. When will it be on the market and what is it going to cost??? edit: just saw it will be available in about 35 weeks… pff thats a long wait 🙂 how much is it going to cost?
