Nice solid controller

Have it for over a 3 years now. Build quality is really nice feels sturdy and engineered very well. It's been very reliable. Want to buy something from a bigger league like DDJ1000 but not sure if want to switch to Recordbox or Serato.

Thanks for the Review

Good to know that it works best with Mac as opposed to Windows. I run windows. Not a Apple Fan.

Windows users beware

This review is more about the Traktor software than the controller. The controller itself is solid, well thought out, and the buttons are nice, etc. The software is what you need to beware of, if you have windows. I had no problems playing downloaded tracks that I owned, but I could not play through a streaming service like Beatport without getting glitchy poppy audio that was more pronounced the more bass in the song. I went through weeks of back and forth with their support. All they did was link to PDF documents I had already found, and tried to convince me that my PC was the problem. My PC is a brand new, less than 2 month old Alienware gaming PC. Top of the line. There are threads going back years with people having this issue on Windows PC's. I received the suggestion from Beatport to install the free version of Serato. Hooked it to the same streaming service - no audio issues. No clicks and pops garbage. Traktor is apparently better suited for Mac users. Best of luck!
