Um, I really do not know much about Behringer products. I guess they would be alright to start on. Um, I guess the second one looks cooler. :)

Good Luck,

Agreed... It should be the only one mentioned to look at... Even if you are a beginner chances are you will get ty fader leaks, sticking buttons or general problems with any behringer peice of shi.. I mean equipment.

You don't need more frustration when you are starting.

This may be of some use to you for traktor use and connecting to a mixer

Someone correct me if Im wrong but unless you have separate outputs in your soundcard for each deck in traktor, you will need a midi controller mixer? What that page on NI's site seems to say is that you use a "multichannel audio interface such as AUDIO KONTROL 1" which seems to split the signal for use with a standard mixer like the ones youre looking at.

As for your mixer, Id go the DX052 if anything

Yes, your right. You would need a soundcard with seperate outputs to mix with Traktor. I started off using that program to mix with. I used a M-Audio external souncard. I tried a midi controller too, and preferred the mixer while using Traktor instead of the midi controller. Thats just me though. There are lots of ways to do things.

Rock On,

i should buy midi control :\

Mixing with most MIDI controllers REALLY SUCKS, they aren't layed out for DJ use, the faders and knobs are cheap.

There are a few MIDI controllers now that are at least DJ oriented for applications like traktor/torq/etc:

Behringer BCD-2000

M-Audio X-Session Pro

Hercules DJ Console

Normally I would say these also reside on the "cheap" side of equipment, but they are probably in the same class as the mixers you've been looking at.
