I have this too, but I only use it with Virtual DJ. There are some
issues with Traktor (they only recently released a PC version of it)
and Virtual DJ just works better (Incidentally, they just released
version 2.10 of Virtual DJ and it's looking better and better).
Anyway for doing DJ mixes the console is great. Adavntages :Having the
ability the nudge the track forward by moving the jog wheels, (almost)
everything is controlled from the console, including track selection
etc...), proper monitor (no need for two soundcards), nice flashy
lights, er. Cons: some of the buttons, especially the play button can
be a bit sticky, and the overall build quality doesn't feel the best.
For the price it isn't bad considering you get 5.1 sound and a midi
control device.
