As has Premire view, I would say no. But who knows!

In résumé: The sound is just incredible! I used with my 2 Technics SL1200 MKII old Hrode as: the sound of hard spring with thunderous dynamics and show that even small dtails rarely heard before. I also discovering the possibility of mixing with filters rsons (dj tent on XONE 92) and it's exciting to do to Daft Punk!
The big smack: it is with 6 LIVE! We can mix four tracks with precision with no latency and especially without MIDI Controller. The sound is in TOP, srement of the quality of the legendary Mackie converter. I always come back no ...
For TRAKTOR, I can not say right now because I broke down and bought the upgrade kit from SCRATCH. Moreover, a point to MACKIE: it's fun to spin the latest version of TRACTION but one version, even light of TRAKTOR SCRATCH t would not have the luxury to test in bte mp3/wav mix! No, it's true, I DCON not: the upgrade kit from Native Instrument rating even when 300 of their store! An application, two vinyl timecode, timecode cd 2 ... has returned more than 1200 even when the config against more than 600 with Serato! Not good to start in the digital mix! That said, last week I reu TRAKTOR SCRATCH version upgrade kit, and it's still fascinating even trs full potential of this app! Finally, I regret my purchase, even if my old iBook 1 GHz is difficult to stabilize with (but I am aware that this is the wrong config &#39
BUT, for the mixing desk - vritable Swiss Army trs well made - hsiter not break the bank!

INTERESTED, especially when a key quality of this stuff! You must see this table as a new instrument: it can reconcile the DJ aspect (traditional or digital) with the possibilities to make a LIVE (in Ableton Live or Propellerheads Reason). In short, relative or even SERATO TRAKTOR FS2 and other, even if they are less expensive, the machine worth dtour trs and becomes especially profitable long term.

- With the exprience, you do again this choice? ... Of course! You should know that I had to spend 5 days to make my choice!

I bought this table there are 10 days.

The table is not rack and a highest DJM.
Table 4 voices + 2 microphones, Send-Return for external effects
All voices are assignable crossfader A or B or Main.

There is no box effect but 2 analog filters
You can also use the PC connection to add effects on PC and send the sound in the table.

UTILIZATION

Configuration is very simple with a laptop and Vista (attention retrieve the latest drivers on the Mackie website).

For cons, I lost 10 days due to a bad firewire included with the table 6-4. Buy a cable 6-4 and it works without additional firewire card.

The table is very well designed, light Treble / med / low can well find their way into the night.
The VU meters are very accurate with voice and to verify sync.
BUMP on the switch filter are very practical and functional.

The manual is very specific and French.

SOUNDS

The sound is studio quality, Mackie what.
Nothing to say, some little pop on the filters if switche too fast.

No breath.

The equalizers are very effective (complete cut) and filters can help to mix 2 tracks.

OVERALL OPINION

- For how long have you been using it? 10 days
- What thing do you like most/least about it? The firewire connection.
It is a box at any time make a PC connected to:
Fruity Loops ** ** It has 4 separate outputs and 2 mic input (5ms latency)
Virtual DJ ** ** separate outputs for each deck + one for the samples.
You can also use the CD timecodes: it works nickel.
Mix with CDJ ** ** Different effects voice over PC Fruityloops example
It can also record sound mix on 2-4 separate tracks.

As least, I would say the headphone jack in front, which complicates the rack.

- Did you try many other models before getting this one?
DJM 500-800-1000 ECLERC NUO4
No tables are different, because it is the only DJ table with a Firewire connection. Other brands merely an input and an output, therefore, impossible to mix on 2-3 votes or have different effects on each voice.

- What is your opinion about the value for the price?
Excellent, because it replaces a table with DJ analog filters and a studio table.

- Knowing what you know now, would you make the same choice?
Without hesitation. I do not understand why she is not popular elsewhere
