I will be getting my first new DJ music controller since 2002. I have to admit, I have no clue on what this thing does. I'm not out blowing a ton of money on some top of the line thing, it doesn't have all the bells and whistles, it's pretty simple and straight forward from what I can see. If something doesn't work out right for me, I'm out a lot of money. Numark Mixtrack 3 looks like it would be a good one for me to start out with. I'm already brand loyal . I have the original Numark MP3 controller DMC-1 it still works I converted it from serial to USB. but I am trying to learn some new stuff.... without going broke
