I love my Sb. I use mine with Mixvibes cross 3. I spin with it 3 times a week plus being a dj at a Gothic fetish club. I beat the living hell out of mine with crazy styles of music,mixing,cutting. it took a year for the faders to start getting lose. I broke my deck B volume fader clean off tho but thats because i get drunk and shit happens. Buy a case i have doped mine down the stairs before and it took zero damage but still. Had a annoying girl spill a beer into it and it lived. Its a low budget compact mixer with a built in soundcard for under $300 get it its worth it.

I am new to DJ'ing; let me start by stating that. I bought a dj2go numark controller just to make sure I could beatmatch and such things like that on a simple controller, basically to make sure I was okay with spending money on expensive controllers. Would you recommend this controller for a first gig, I would use this for the summer as well, so if you would let me know that would be great. Secondly, I absolutely hate HATE HATE!! the VDJLeLite shit that the Dj2Go came with. Is serato dj into that basic as well???

They are both equally good for beginners. The DDJ-SB is more suited for Serato while the S2 is better for Traktor. The S2 also has more advanced features since it comes with the FULL version of Traktor while the DDJ-SB only comes with the Serato Intro version of the software...

I think serato might be the easier program, but they both work nearly the same, so one isn't a huge jump over the other. S2 is the better investment though because it comes with the full featured software and you could stick with it longer if you decide to continue.
