Ddm4000

I am looking at one for my setup and was wondering why it says that its Traktor Certified for timecode control on the NI site? Not sure how that works.

Can anyone offer some input on the quality of this mixer?

The DDM is Traktor Ready, NOT Traktor Certified. Traktor Ready just means it comes with a pre-mapped template for Traktor. Traktor Certified means it has a soundcard built in and you don't need an external Audio 4/6/8/10 for DVS control. The DDM doesn't have a soundcard built in. It's purely a MIDI controller mixer.

As for the DDM itself, it's probably the best mixer Behringer's made. Some may say that's still not saying much, but I had a DDM for a while and liked it. For the amount of features and functions you get for the price, it can't be beat. FX sounded pretty good, if not a little overly cumbersome to use. The MIDI control though is where this mixer really shines though IMO. Overall feel though leaves something to be desired; fairly cheap, light and flimsy knobs and faders.

I clearly see Traktor Ready and not Traktor Certified?

Thanks Konix! I think the best thing to do is save for something better. The Denon DNX-1700 is what I have my eyes on right now... It sure costs a bit of coin but its Certified and seems like a work horse.
