What's great about it: light simple easy to use.
What's not so great: SLOWWW...small screen.
The processor is very slow navigating through different songs and options. Screen is very small. Other than that, everything works perfect. It's very light which is good if your a portable. If you need dj equipment for business, get something that requires a laptop or desktop because you get a big screen and a faster processor.
I would recommend this to a friend!

What's great about it: Love the all features for the price.
What's not so great: Consumer grade plastic construction.
The unit out-of-the-box worked great. Then I installed the version 2.1 update and downloaded QuickGrid from Stanton. It made setting-up and operating the unit much easier and faster. I've been a DJ for quite a long time, I like that all you need now is this unit, speakers and a amp.
A experienced DJ could get the hang of this unit in a matter of minutes. I showed my kids how to operated it and they got the hang of it within an hour. It is real important that you download and use QuickGrid and prepare your USB device before using the unit. It will save you a lot of fustration.
I really like the SYNC feature. The effect are good, but I really enjoyed using the SLICE and LOOP. Scratching on this unit is comparable to using a digital turntable, except that the platter doesn't spin.
All-in-all I am impressed with the overall performance of this unit
I would recommend this to a friend!

What's great about it: Easy to use, scratching controls, portable, lcd screen
What's not so great: takes time to analyze music
After months and months of researching different dj controllers, I decided to purchase the Stanton Mixstation. I've had it now for about 6 weeks and so far it has turned out to be a great choice. I am not a professional dj, I mainly like to mix and scratch in my spare time. And scratching on the Mixstation exceeded my expectations. The sound, feel of the platters, and control are all great. I know that it isn't exactly that vinyl sound, but seems pretty close compared to other products I have researched. It takes time to analyze your songs, but with the new software update, it has gotten quicker. Very portable, since you don't need a laptop, and has great sound. From beginner djs to more experienced ones, I think this is a nice controller to purchase.
I would recommend this to a friend!

What's great about it: how simple it is to use!
What's not so great: could be a little heavier and crossfade adjust.
I got this product right when it came out and i loved it from the get go. Not having to use a computer and the simplicity of it is amazing! literally just plug and play. The screen is super clear and easy to read and it feels like im scratching with turntables. i have never been one for the controllers but this year has been huge for me turning over to them its crazy! i have hada chance to use all of the controllers out on the market right now and THIS one has been my favorite! i am a dj yes i play in clubs and from time to time i do smaller intimate gigs and this is perfect for it! being able to jump folders or see the wave forms is great. Having the cue point to start is sick and the effects oh man the effects! Built in effects that YOU can control is awesome! How much you want to use or how less you want or might need. super clear and fun! It took me a few days to learn the SCS 4 Dj but im a super fan of it! Def buy this if you are looking to learn how to dj on a budget or as a new cool controller ot add to your set up! Whatever it may be get it!
I would recommend this to a friend!

What's great about it: true all in one controller
What's not so great: read my review
i bougth this unit about a month ago and returned it for a various reasons. But i do want to commend for constructing on the basics such as no drifts good scratching , sound qaulity,compact nice screen size and for quick all in one true setup . But what would be a nice option to zoom in on titles especially if use in club or party where low lighting . However the number one reason i returned because im constantly updating files on the go and the anylising process is just to slow for me. Fader feels real flimsy . And if broken no replacible so one would have to return to bestbuy and wait for who knows how long that will take to get to stanton and returnd. No hot cues or eq for mic come on we are in 2011.A slight fast start that only a good ear dj would notice and yes i tried the settings. But not with all songs and just in scratch mode. i also think ther should be some type of tension or resistance knob for jog wheel plate .However if they fix and update i would pay extra to have thisunit. hopefully scs 5 the successor will have all! Curently i use denon 1200 with a mackie d2pro mixer and coffin has some wieght. I was just so hype about this unit and try to ignore common functions but prevail not.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

What's great about it: It is small and compact and user friend and you don't need a computer.
What's not so great: Can't get the Midi to work with it. It doesn't have gain knobs or multiple cue points.
I got this a month ago great unit I use it for a backup to my Numark V7 and Technics CDJ's. When I first got it I was going to return it but once I got the setting right it work fine.
I would recommend this to a friend!

What's great about it: Works great.
What's not so great: Metal body would be nice.
Went out of my way to get my hands on this unti because it seemed to be exactly what I need.
Being a DJ for 8 years or so, most times I show up at a gig, the gear is there for me. For the times when its not, all I have to do is throw this in a bag and I'm on my way.
Functionality is great. Effects are fun. Screen is clear and bright. Jog wheels are sturdy. Cue buttons are responsive.
I recommend this product to any DJs that need a mobile unit for any occasion.
I would recommend this to a friend!

What's great about it: Ease of use, portability
What's not so great: Wish it was a little more rugged.
For the money, it is pretty hard to beat. Purchased as a backup system for my Traktor rig, and it provides 80% of the functions, with the added bonus of not having to bring my work computer with me. Sync works really well, and the FX sound great.
I would recommend this to a friend!

What's not so great: Cheap and not worth it
I picked up one these today and immediately returned it. Everything abou tit is cheap and gimmicky. The software that comes with it won't read all of your file sor put them into wave form (e.i so you can loop, etc) The effects on the mixer are also cheesy and barely do anything. Better to just get a Kaos Pad instead. This mixer is a joke.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
