Hey guys this is my first time buying a set up, and i have pretty much narrowed it down to a Mixdeck or Mixdeck express from the information i have gathered with other threads / asking a DJ at my local buyer. Just curious, how do you guys feel as far as which one for a beginning DJ? As far as music goes, i am mainly interested in progressive house / electric music (if that makes a difference, local guy said it could slightly) but i want some feedback from the real experts. Thanks for your time guys any feedback is appreciated

You'll be fine with either. Play with both at your kcal retailer and decide based on that.

thanks for the quick reply, sounds good! also at local retailer he showed me the traktor s2, would that be in my view as well as what i want to do with it?

Assuming that you're asking for a recommendation on what to look at, I'd recommend looking at these controllers:

* Hercules 4mx
* Hercules 4Set
* Numark NS6
* Numark NS7
* NI S2
* NI S4

Pretty much, the above has two controllers for VDJ, ITCH, and TP. You're bound to find something to like.

yes in all honesty i am looking for more on the effects side of live DJing, is the S4/S2 better for this than the mixdeck? from what i can see and have heard the Mixdeck does not have as much on the effects side as traktor does

Just remember that the effects are in the DJ app... and yes, Traktor's effects are top notch.

But still, effects are best handled like make up. A little goes a long way. Its easy to abuse effects.

Beginners shouldn't touch effects for a long time.
