Conclusion
In conclusion I think the Midi
Dj
controller would be more suitable for me because its easier to use as a
Dj
cause it comes with everything you need in a single unit and it’s better for travelling around to different events. I’m aware that the controller is not made for
turntablism
and I wouldn’t mind not being able to do that.
