Does this mixer work well for scratch dj's?

sure...usually only use 2 channel mixers for scratching but this will do the trick...I like the mixer but only complaint is the small cue buttons...

If you plug in your turn table into the phono jack then it will work great.

I'm afraid the low end cost of this mixer is due to the fact of lower quality components...the faders wear rather quickly...Out of personal experience I would recommend saving up for a Vestax or Allen and Heath Xone (2:02 is amongst the most economic with magnetic faders)...The m6 is great for DJ's simple beat mixing or key mixing for smaller Moble DJ gigs, it is very versatile however not the most abuse resistant (scratch DJ's are the most abusive to their hardware..that's why most scratch mixers have easily replaceable parts and cost a bit more)...hope this helps

it has lots of effects and all work just as listed, I am using it for live vocals and recording mixed output. I have not yet used that software yet. I may need to experiment with the software before answering your questions further. You should check behringer website for more options, behringer has vast collection of mixers for all kind of mixing. I will try to answer your questions soon.

Actually It can be used with traktor, the thing is you have to find the proper configuration for it mapping all the buttons and functions to it. You can try it out see if it works out for you. On virtual DJ its more easier but it all depends on your style

Not the best fader in the world but for the price its well worth it. A pioneer djm900's fader is more looser but then again thats an $1000 mixer with effects and all that good stuff. Same with the rane mixers, but their magnetic faders are great.

What are you using this for? Mixers are for live performance, not the best way to record. The Alpha is a good VALUE but not the best, You buy this because it is 1/2 the price of the Persons or Focusrite interface

I don't really use the effects. I have tried them and that is the weakest part of the mixer. Even turned up all the way, it is hard to tell what the effect is. The manual does not help either, doesn't really tell much about wiring the effects loop either. I just use it for DJ work, playing music and with one microphone for talking. It has plenty of power and the eq works well.

Should be once you find the midi map for it. They're all midi devices and should all work with all software once you can remap. Its made for Serato DJ though which is a free download or comes on a CD with the package. Not trying to get on my high horse but pro DJs are pretty much split between Traktor and Serato. Virtual DJ has improved much from its beginnings but its no Serato IMHO.

It probably will work pretty good, although one issue that I had with Traktor and Windows 7 (regardless the computer) is the audio dropouts (you might want take a look of it), tried to figured out and then switched to Traktor + OSX. No complaints since then.

It has some nice features for small situations like you're describing. Also does nicely as a mixer for a starter studio. This model may fit your budget, but I'd also look at the 14ZED60FX. 4 XLR inputs may seem like a lot. On my first outing with this I used every XLR, and I was sure 4 was *more* than I needed. This is a terrific mixer - lots of features and intentional quality.

Yes it's a fully functioning DJ mixer, and it will internally save the output as a .wav or .aiff file in either 16 or 24 bit! It's the Rolls Royce of DJ gear!

Yes. Probably more than the average DJ needs, but is very versatile and provides a lot of function for the price.

Usually they come with features for DJs but yes you can use for home audio people use it like that.

Yes! Get the s tone arm. The straight one is geared more toward scratch djs...and the supplied cartridge will do fine just for listening.

This mixer will not accept a USB. However, you can get a USB-to-XLR cable that will work just fine at Ebay for about $10.00. Good luck!. Johanan.

Serato Scratch Live only operates with certain Rane Hardware, the Pioneer DDJ S1 will work with Serato DJ or Itch

Yes depends on what software you are using I used it for virtual dj and it work like a champ

I don't DJ so I'm not the most qualified to answer that, but I can say that if you were hoping this turntable can do variable speeds (so as to match BPM to a song from another source), then the answer would be no. But I think you could scratch with it, if that's all you need. The audio come out via two different ports, a USB port to a computer, and also an analog out (L&R;) via RCA cables, to use without a computer. If I remember correctly from the last time I used it, the audio is sent out straight from the needle even if the platter is not moving, so I'm sure you could use it for basic scratching...?
