Like two start and stop buttons for battle style...and how many decks you know where you can switch the pitch faders position on the deck? And the tonearms are switchable between straight and curved.
Yea same here. Mine work like champs.

Numark is swag.

If you're gonna buy decks, save up and buy Technics... Standard.

If you're gonna buy a mixer, save up and buy Pioneer... Standard.

Honestly.

Those are the ones I had, but they just packed in for no apparent reason just stopped mid mix like the motor just packed in. Then the other one did the same about a month later with no warning. I was well happy with them for years and years no trouble at all, they're awsome when they work.

I got myself that. This one has a 24bit built-in soundcard which you MIGHT think it's a better choice then without one. WRONG!

I tried to get it back to the store and they gave me the non-refundable story regarding software (shit is LE/bundled. That shouldn't count).

So there I am with a product that I cannot use for the purposes I bought it for.

Plus their customersupport is equal to tortoise turd.

I picked up a deck last week from ebay for the princely sum of £84. Virtually mint condition, apart from no 7" adaptor and the lid has a small crack. I was pretty chuffed

just like when you was a kid, you only ever wanted the cereal because of the freebie toy inside, its called a gimmick.

I've heard alot of good things about TTX decks, but tbh i couldnt care less where the pitch adjuster was or about the aesthetics of the tone arm

I started on the belt drive numarks (dunno what theyre called, maybe tt50s) and they are the worst things i've ever used. absolutely fucking awful. Upgraded tp the tt200s and i cant complain. Mixers however are awful, have had 2 and the xfaders and the upfaders have completely gone on both. currently saving for some technics and a new mixer, not sure which yet
