All you could need for scratching and juggling, for beginner/intermediates at least. Hampster switch, up fader reverse, Headphone Mute button near the fader, very handy! When using the Focus fader there is no curves for the Xfader, only cut option. The up faders are hooked into the curve control tho, so if u werent using the focus fader and u still wanted a sharp cut in on the fader, the up faders would also be sharp.. not good for fades etc. but with the focus fader u can pretty much sort this out.

£170 UK pounds

UTILIZATION

Very easy to use, nice spacious lay out of the main controls.

SOUNDS

Sounds good for the money.

OVERALL OPINION

I like the focus fader, feels so slick after coming from a low end numark. Quite durable, no match for the big boys like vestax 06/07 etc, but I feel pretty confidant it whackin my faders around

It cant be true love, because I dont wanna spend the rest of my DJ-life with it. I reakon I'll have her for a year, and if i'm getting good by then I'll up grad. But until I can afford a sweet ass vestax or rane, my stanton should surfice. Also note -this is a battle mixer. If you want to skratch/beat juggle then its a good buy. If you want to mix, or play house, DnB, techno etc there wud be better options.
