I can get one of these used for 200. Would this be better than ddj-sb and mixtrack 2 pro?

Definitely better than mixtrack pro 2 Idk about ddj-sb. It's all about preference really.

Which is "better" just depends on your personal layout preferences and work flow. They all essentially do the same thing. The 2 main differences are if you want 4 channels (N4) or if you want velocity sensitive pads (Mixtrack or DDJ). I believe the DDJ is also built for Serato so if you're a Traktor/VDJ user you may want to avoid that one as well.

I advise Scarlett 2i4 if you need 2 separate outputs for DJing, NI does the same but I had glitches on this soundcard.Roland is decent choice for sure, had good experience with M-Audio too.

The pioneer ddj sb is more professional and would recommened it only for intermediate djs although you can use it for getting into it. Theres to many bells and whistles that you don't need when your starting and its at a pretty high price. Now the hercules control instinct is great for getting your feet wet in the dj industry it has all the basic needs like a 3 band eq 4 hot cues( but not meant for juggling

I use Virtual DJ. I hear you can use Traktor with it but I haven't tried and I think you might have to do some mapping with it. Good luck!

I use the Escort 3000 for wedding ceremonys. It sounds great but I wouldn't consider it for dance music. If you're DJing dance music I'd go with powered speakers and a DJ mixer.

After reading the other 2 responses, I have to agree with them. The 1240 is just a better turntable. I don't think you'll be disappointed.

This is a proffessional piece of equipment. The NS7FX is one of the best in digital DJ'ing. A beginner could start off with this piece of equipment and really doesn't have to worry about upgrading.

Yes it is a little better. however Behringer have a terrible build and there customer support is awful. Go for a Numark or better.. The BCD3000 will break your heart...

I wouldn't use it for general purpose. LIVE is quite specifically intended for LIVE usage. For more standard recording, check out Samplitude Pro X2 (awesome, full featured, with recent price reduction); Sonar X4; or Studio One V3. All in the price range. Far better for standard audio recording, editing, mixing. (And Samplitude mastering and CD burning as well.)

What are you using this for? Mixers are for live performance, not the best way to record. The Alpha is a good VALUE but not the best, You buy this because it is 1/2 the price of the Persons or Focusrite interface

This product does not come with a user guide and the Numark website does not support it. I have found the Creative Labs SoundBlaster X-fi HD Model SB1240 to be a better quality external soundcard, and it is well supported. It costs just a little bit more and is well worth it. If you're going to DJ with a laptop, look into software that can use two soundcards, an external for output, and your internal soundcard for monitoring/cueing.

Yes, if you have a Serato DJ license you will be able to plug in and use the Pioneer DDJ SB with no problems!

I have both beats mixr and the audio technica athm50rd. The Beats have a higher bass response but the Audio technica seem to provide a more balance sound.

I use the ddj sb for house parties and I honestly couldn't be happier with it. I play the same type of music and that controller with serato is a solid fit

I bought the turntable on the recommendation of a friend who is a professional dj... he told me that for casual listening, the included stylus was fine. If you are still interested in upgrading, I can ask him if you like.
