Controller Choice

I didnt have many other controllers; had a mixtrack/DJIO setup for about 3 days, went into my local Best Buy, and they had the DJC.4 on clearance for $230 (they are closing the Musical Instrument section). It got good reviews on here, and this was on the Stanton website:

• 4 channel (Dual-Stereo) 16bit/48kHz audio interface allowing comprehensive connection to your sound system
• Included Virtual DJ LE software allows for 4-deck control, video mixing, effects, with plug and play functionality
• 2 or 4 channel control with deck shift functionality and browser loading, giving direct access to the controls you need fast
• Long-life replaceable Cross fader with hardware fader curve knob allowing your custom cutting preference to be dialed in
• Rugged metal chassis, designed to withstand years of use in the most rigorous environments
• 95 assignable MIDI controllers (63 buttons, 5 faders, 12 push encoders, 22 control dials, 2 touch-sensitive jog wheels) & shift function

Seemed perfect to start again on..but I only know about this one and the mixtrack 🙂

Really the only person that can make that decision is you. When I went to get my first controller and ended up with the MC6000 I had a list (before ever looking at specific hardware) of the features I felt I absolutely needed, what I would love to have and what I could easily do without. Then I started looking at the hardware and pretty much ended up with the Denon. Being a very long time Denon user, I knew in advance that I’d get technologically solid gear built like a tank and built to last.

And I wasn’t disappointed.

My advice to you would be to take both the MC3000 and N4 feature lists and then look at what one has that the other doesn’t. Then judge which of the features you really don’t want to be without and presto!

Good luck with your choice and greetinx,
