This or the the MIXTRACK 2 ?? be honest, why?

if your a beginner,this one,because it don't cost that much money and you can do a lot for the size of the controller and software comes with it,but if your alittle advanced,then you might want to go with the mixtrack 2.

Its a good controler for small events or just at home but if you want something more professional I wold go with the ddj Pioneer controller for more professional looks

Well I've only heard the pill in store only, on Bluetooth once. But the Beatbox Portable is a champ. If you play music in a small room with the portable, it may overwhelm you

The app you download is from virtualdj. Contact Numark or Virtualdj if you need any help with this. The app on the provided CD, does not work and the Manual does NOT cover the Mixtrack unit specifically. Yes you can use a Toshiba, that is what I am using. I am also using it on an Acer. Laptop is your choice, not mine, but I do agree with the first responder. A Side comment. If you have looked at the reviews of the unit on You Tube, ignore them totally they will discourage you rather than encourage you. I am a total amateur and so far I have been learning by discovery and not by any manual. This unit -to me at least- contains many fantastic effects and controls. Do some searching on the computer screen while to try the effects etc, you will be impressed as to what is possible. I found the first view trying to use the CD and enclosed manual to be very vert discouraging.

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.

I don't own a Mac, so I don't know. However, I don't recommend this controller. U would be better off with the mixtrack or another one for the same price. The controls aren't easy to get used to at all.

well Beat Pro have a very rich base sound. it truly depends on what kind of music your listing to. I listen to various music and when it came to rock it truly enhanced the drum solos. They are like studio moniters on your head. The Audio Technica i have not had the chance to try which I could be better help here.

There are better options, it is a handy recorder and many functions, you are limited to one track at a time and bouncing is time consuming. If all you want is to record live performances or use as a quick writing tool, for the price it is good, it downloads in WAV format so it is a little outdated, but very portable, hope this helped.

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.

back up? like songs or beats? probably not, but you should spend a little more and get the newer model, it is amazing and will make you feel like you've traveled to the future. you can recreate whatever beats you have lost, I am sure of that! it is as easy to use as this one, but has a way better sound and is just great to create with. hope that helps

You need an interface, and it depends what are you using it for, multitrack recording or just one input. Personus makes nice affordable interfaces, but there are others.

Rekordbox is only for Pioneer CDJs I have the Numark Mixdeck Express it's an amazing tool for beginners DJs you can use Virtual DJ 8 with it, also the box includes a serato DJ software that you can use with it

DSP version has studio monitor emulation feature for headphone mixing, which is pretty cool. This is the version I have. Apart from that, they are exactly the same. I'd say get DSP. No reason to pay more for less. Looks like this one is sold through Proaudiostar, and the other is direct through amazon. Different sellers would account for different pricing, probably.

Trial Version of Traktor. Just buy Traktor before you get it because the trial only will let u spin for like 30 mins at a time.

It's better! Best addition I've found so far is Tune-In is embedded and works very well. Much, much better navigation and user experience than the GraceNote radio (which makes me crazy, it's so, so, so poor!) I just really hope the hardware is solid - this is my 2nd Squeezebox. Last one became ejunk.

Pro studios seem to always have two. I have only one but it has made a tremendous difference. Two would give you a stereo field, of course, but I like that it's always in mono because I'm mixing with bluetooth mono speakers in mind. I don't know if the studios get two out of habit and access to cash or if I'm missing something important in my setup. You can certainly start with one and get another later if you feel you're missing something important.

The best what? The best physical interface to use if you're making beats?That's kind of relative. I totally recommend hitting guitar center or Sam Ashe and playing around with what they have to see what feels right for you. Hell, you don't NEED one of these to make beats. I know Skrillex has said in interviews that he's comfortable with his mouse and plotting his drums that way. I don't know if he still does but there's that. Ultimately findingthe method that feels right for you and practicing unti you've got a feel for workflow.

Id need to know which AT cans you were talking about. The cheap AT cans I take with me to monitor ENG interviews are just as good as my BeatsPro for that application. They fall apart when compared in a studio mixing setting where I expect to hear all of the frequencies with no distortion. Beats are known for low end response so they rock for hip-hop/rap/funk. I listen to a lot of film score and jazz on them too. Again, its tough for me to say with certainty that BeatsPros are superior to AT headphones as my AT's cost less than $50 and are for a very specific use. I am btw an AT user for microphones and am a fan of their quality. Id need to know which AT cans you were talking about.
