DJ digital controllers are MIDI controllers or USB-to-analog devices used for controlling computer-based DJ software, installed on a personal computer, laptop, tablet device or smartphone.
DJ digital controllers aim to emulate the traditional mixer/turntable/CD turntable set up. Most controllers come with shuttle jog dials that mimic turntable control of an audio file, though with slightly less accuracy.
The use of DJ digital controllers with DJ software allows for smaller, more mobile sound systems. Usually, the use of a DJ digital controller frees the DJ from having to transport more expensive, fragile, heavier, analog equipment. With the use of the controllers there is no need to use CDs or records. This is particularly beneficial to mobile disc jockeys who are increasingly using computer-based equipment for this particular reason.
A problem with controllers had been their latency; that is, the time between manipulating the jog shuttle controllers and the effect on the audio file. However, this does vary with computer speed, sound card latency, and MIDI latency. By either changing configuration settings or upgrading hardware, latency problems can often be easily resolved. Currently, with the newer computers, better software, and newer controllers, latency has become a negligible concern.

Serato Audio Research is a New Zealand software company headquartered in Auckland, that specializes in audio signal processing, production and professional performance tools for DJs.
Serato was founded in 1998 by Stephen West and AJ Bertenshaw who developed a timestretching and pitch-shifting Pro Tools plugin, Pitch 'N Time. They then focused on the evolving vinyl emulation software market, developing the first release of Serato Scratch Live (SSL) in 2004. The software utilizes specialized timecoded audio called the Serato NoiseMap™. The NoiseMap™ is pressed into a control vinyl or CD and the signal is captured by an external sound card which is then used to manipulate digital music on the user's computer. Serato began by working with Washington-based Rane Corporation to develop the first Scratch Live supported hardware, the Rane SL1, during which, Serato developed the NoiseMap™ control vinyls to complete the system.
Serato entered the DJ Controller market in 2008 with the launch of ITCH, an application similar to Scratch Live but dedicated to supporting selected DJ Controllers instead of DVS hardware.

Excellent for beginner and travel DJs, the Slate 2 provides responsive jogwheels, key lock, 8 hot cue pads with manual/auto loop, and slicer function, but downsides such as small pitch faders exist. With both standard and surprising features for the price range, the Gemini Slate 2 functions as a great value controller for those on a budget or seeking portability. To fully utilize the controller, upgrade the bundled Serato DJ Intro to the full version. For more information, take a look through our article review.

http://www.djbooth.net/index/dj-equipment/review/numark-mixtrack-pro-ii http://www.twitter.com/DJblaze_DJbooth The Numark Mixtrack Pro II is the newly updated two-deck/two-channel entry-level digital DJ controller produced by Numark DJ Division that comes bundled with Serato DJ Intro. The original Numark Mixtrack Pro is one of the best-selling DJ controllers of all time and for very good reason. The overall layout of the Numark Mixtrack Pro II is fairly similar to the original Mixtrack Pro, but this time the Mixtrack Pro II has a much sleeker appearance, thinner jog wheels, and the very popular 16-pad setup to control the main DJ functions.

Best DJ equipment for beginners. I get this question a lot. People want to know what would be their best option when it comes to getting their first DJ equipment. CDJ? A controller? Turntables or a DVS? I can't answer that with one simple answer because this will be different for everyone. What I would say is that nowadays your cheapest option would be to start with an entry controller like the Numark Mixtrack Pro 2 or the Pioneer DDJ-SB. These devices can be used see if you really like DJ'ing and they only cost a couple of hundred dollars and they do offer a lot of functionality. DON'T SPEND HUGE AMOUNTS OF MONEY IF YOU ARE NOT SURE THAT THIS IS WHAT YOU REALLY WANT! After a while you can always look into trying out other (more expensive) equipment, but that all depends on your goa...
