    the mixtrack pro does feel a little more toy like and the sound out put isnt as good as the typhoon but,i dont like the faders for gains ans having to load an extra driver is a pain. but when i got my vms4,i wound up keeping the typhoon cause of the size and sound output and i like the platter movement on the typhoon but i like the platter size on the mixtrack pro

    so what your saying this would be a bit sturdier and easier to start mixing with? even for a beginner?

    will they allow me to hook up the floor model? because the last time i was there, the only model up for use was a Numark S7 with the effects controller. a LOVELY piece of kit but i could never afford it.

    Hello, I got the same problem, i can’t decide wich of these two models should I pick. I read so much about them that it even confused me even more, maybe there is somebody who had tryed them both and can provide with good pros and cons on both and overall rating. The thing is I really like the way the Tyhpoon looks, in other hand I really liked the hot cue option on MixTrack Pro, which as far as I know by now it could be changed to killers (because it depends on witch software it comes?) :O, and then I find the bigger pros for typhoon that it have the filter effect, while in other hand I saw lot’s of complains about typhoon that its stucks or freezzes after filter effect. and etc. Also people saying that the mixtrack pro have a nice jogwheels, that they are bigger and accurate, but typhoon have quite the same, (I’am not a scratching person), I do bedroom mixes for myself and for my flatmates, we go for deep house, deep trance, trance, techno, so which of these models , would help me to send them on a better trip? Is it MixTrack Pro or Vestax Typhoon ? btw I use traktor 3 (without any problems I can downgrade it to even traktor pro).

    hey dan, I think you may be over thinking it dude. the controller just gives you better controls to manipulate the music and mix two (in this case) tracks together, its nothing magical. I would see which of the two controllers have mappings for your current software and then slowly remap the thing to fit your style. I will be getting the MIxtrack Pro soon (hopefully) because after playing around with a couple of controllers at my local store I liked the feel of it better. what people need to remember is that the only real limitation in the controller is the software you use and everything else can be mapped and scripted for a custom feel (one of many joys of digital).

    Typhoon is smaller and more expensive, both are good for the money but Mixtrack is better value and sells more.

    Thanks Phil for your comment, I think I will stick with MixTrack Pro. Btw JJ702561 thanks as well, true about mapping, but probably it will happen that, by the time I will map it by my self the way I like it
