(More customer reviews)The first thing you will notice is that the Omni Control is built like a tank. If you are doing mobile gigs construction quality is a must. Numark does not exactly make the best quality gear, but they certainly try to keep up with new features. The omni control is great for the bedroom DJ and those wanting to see if they will like this hobby and don't want to make an investment with traditional gear. If you try to start with two CDJs and a normal mixer, expect to pay twice as much. If you get Pioneer equipment expect to pay over a thousand for just a basic setup!
I already have Traktor DJS 3.4 so I was able to change the midi map, but the included Traktor LE should be fine for beginners. My only complaint is that the jog wheel is too close to the line faders, but this is also a problem with the Vestax controller. And by the way, the Vestax VCI is $500 but the quality of the build is not that much better. Knobs and caps are plastic but what do you expect at this price point.
