    Hi i was thinking of buying some dj decks to connect through my laptop. I haven't got much cash to spend at the mo but i was looking at either the
    BEHRINGER BCD-3000

    or
    NUMARK TOTAL CONTROL
    or
    HERCULES DJ CONSOLE TRAKTOR
    (all of these are on http://www.thomann.de)

    Any reviews or opinions on any of the above would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks

    Op here. Around €200. Could i get something decent for that?
    All i have so far is laptop and tracktor software. Is there any other essentials i should be looking for?

    I got the Numark TC the other day. 170, but you'll need an external audio most probably, another 90-100 for the Numark DJ IO.

    The IO? Its a sound card essentially, but a very good one. Its low latency, outputs dual channel RCA(Needed to preview, otherwise you can just throw away your headphones) mic input(its only through though, you need a powered mic/pre amp), USB powered.

    The TC, as you probably know is just a physical form of the software on screen, the knob on screen becomes a knob in "the real world".

    If you can, save up and get the M-Audio Torq Xponent - its worth it, trust me...

    I had the Hercules and the BCD2000 before it and there is no comparison
