Choosing a beginner DJ controller help

DJ Controllers are superb ways to get into DJ'ing. They are fun, cheap, small, light (great for bedrooms) and most of all they are very cheap.

They sound perfect you are probably thinking and you are correct, but the problem is that there are a lot of DJ controllers out in the market and all the technological terms can be confusing.

(On my website I have a great best DJ Controllers for beginners guide)

There are numerous manufacturers:

Numark 
Denon
Pioneer
Native Instruments
Hercules
American Audio 
Novation
Gemini 

plus others...

So which one do you get?

Firstly you need one that is very easy to set-up and use. You want one that is reliable and has working parts. Which one then??

Well I'll let you into a little secret : and that is that most of them do the same thing really so you can get any of them (cost will be a determining factor)! Thing is, most of the new DJ controllers for starters are all really user friendly, easy to set-up and they all have the same kind of features and functions that you need to learn how to DJ - so don't get too worried about which one to get! (just check out my guide as that covers the best 5 to get.)

Generally speaking with DJ controllers, the more features you want the more it will cost. When starting though you will not use the advanced stuff - you need to get used to the basics of mixing and manipulating tracks.

JUST MAKE SURE THEY HAVE:

An internal soundcard : needed so you can cue up the next track
DJ Software 

Good news is that most if not all of the newer DJ controllers for beginners comes with these 2 very important things.

Some DJ Controllers to consider:

(remember my dj controller for beginners guide...)

Numark Mixtrack Pro

This is one of the best selling DJ controllers on the market. Why? This was the first real DJ controller that was aimed towards beginners, and was a true all in one solution which was very easy to set-up, therefore became a smash hit. It is a bit old now (but still perfectly fine for the first timers) thus Numark have released...

Numark Mixtrack Pro 2

The main complaint about the original was how ugly and bulky it looked. Well the Pro 2 looks far far better and has a few extra bells and whistles! Costs a bit more though

Pioneer DDJ WeGo

Pioneer are well respected and known for their top quality DJ gear (especially in the CD market..). Problem is that their gear is super expensive for beginners (although brilliant!). This is where the DDJ WeGo comes in.

This is super user friendly., has 4 channels (most beginner decks only come with 2 channels) and awesome lights to help you learn, funky design and so so so so much fun. You can even get it in different colors too.
