You’ve been a TON of help DJ Vintage. To my friends defense, he is VERY picky about mixing in general. He’s always been pretty tight lipped and selective in what he tells me. He’s just now beginning to open up a lot. I can see how it’s like not wanting to help a noob too much. Let me learn on my own. U know, actually put in the work. I’m a tattoo artist as we’ll and we have the same mentality a lot of time. When people ask for specific advice i tell them the basics. Practice! My buddy lived in London in the mid 80’s and has been mixing since he was twelve. Strictly ragga jungle dnb. So I guess that explains him. Any way I’m going with the Beatmix 4. It has everything I want and as far as XLRs I only have limited chances to mix on his big system and I mix at home every single day. So I’m not going to compromise what I want in a controller just to have balanced outs.
A couple more things: So, are balanced outs basically rca’s with a interference protector sheath going around the wires?
And my buddy has a ddj sx so I assume it’s capable of running my controller through one of his channels.
So there it is. Beatmix 4 is in the mail now. Maybe in few days I’ll get back on here and letcha know whaT I think of it. Thanks again.

I do have the full version of Serato but unfortunately it is a bootlegged version. I know, I know. Don’t judge me. I was a noob. I do, however, want the real full version as the one I have is a little “off”. I guess when it comes to my work flow, I developed my flow kinda around Serato because I am/was new and that was the first and only software I ever used. I was messing around on VDJ last night an think it will do but I really don’t like the file/folder set up. And if I switched it’d be a bitch to sort my music again.
I like that beatmix for the pads but it doesn’t have XLR outs. I don’t need them for home but my buddy has a full set up and he said if I got one with XLR outs we could hook both mine and hi controller up and both mix at the same time/together. Jut for parties and messing around. Is there a controller with pads, XLRs, and 4 decks that work with Serato full version? Does the Numark N4 have 4 deck capability with the full version of Serato? I guess I just want it all in a small cheap package. I have to order this controller today so it’s here by mid week. So, N4 or some other one that has XLRs and 4 deck capable with full Serato. Pads are not a must. I think I’m on the verge of getting the N4 I jut really hope it works with Serato. I feel like I’m over thinking it.
