    I’d definitely recommend the Mixtrack Pro. Also, it’s one of the products that qualifies for the free upgrade to Traktor LE 2, which is a nice bonus.

    Exactly what features Does Traktor LE miss from the pro version? I’m really into effects, especially filters.

    Ok, but what exactly is Traktor ME? I can’t find any info on it…

    It’s a special edition bundled with certain hardware. Version 2 is currently only available with the Pioneer DDJ-T1.

    Most “modern” controllers have good jogs, but the Mixtrack Pro is ahead of the rest by a log way in value at that end of the market.

    Ok, I am convinced by the interface side of things, but how does the sound card compare to others? How much can you stress it? My current sound card is an Edirol FA-101, and I leave it at 5ms. 2ms starts to pop a bit, but 5ms at 48kHz is pretty good, and I have plenty of TS outputs…

    How low can you bring the Mixtrack pro’s sound card in traktor at 48kHz?

    Are you using a PC or a Mac? I think that how well it performs depends on which you’re using. I know it works really well with CoreAudio on the Mac but on Windows you need to use ASIO4ALL.

    I’ll have to kick this one over to one of the Windows users. I only use mine with a Mac so I can’t comment on latency with Windows.

    I don’t own a Mixtrack Pro, but I do own the original. I’ve used it on both PC and Mac, and it runs flawlessly on both! You should be fine on either operating system.
