When I first heard about the studio 4a and checked the specs, I was skeptical. It sounded too good. A 4 deck controller, with a soundcard, effects assignable to both decks, plus an led gain display? Those are features normally reserved for controllers $350 and up. Throw in the extra large platters, metal surface, and pitch control, and it just didn't make sense to me. Now given behringer's sometimes iffy reputation and past foray into the dj controller market, I expected this thing to be a piece of crap. Sure it sounds good on paper, but will it really perform? Well, I didn't want to find out honestly, but I recommended this to a friend who was looking for a controller, so I had a perfect opportunity to do so. Was it right for me to recommend a potentially terrible controller? Well, he did come to me.. When I first saw it in action, I was blown away. The thing was sexy, and big. Unlike my previous mixtrack, you cant throw this into a backpack, or a laptop bag for that matter. Fit and finish were top notch. Each knob has this rubbery matte coating and perfect amount of resistance that feels weird for something as cheap as $200. The faders are also very good. There is LED feedback on every button, which is awesome when you jump to decks 3 and 4. You can see exactly what's happening without having to squint at your laptop. The pitch slider is extra long and super precise. Now personally i don't manually beatmatch but if for some reason you'd want to do that you definitely could with the studio 4a. I read one review complaining about the software that comes with the studio 4a. Well, if you aren't using traktor with this, you're doing it wrong. While the studio 4a may have its proprietary software, the factory mapper for traktor works almost perfectly(no flux mode control), which I believe was intentional. Even the effects layout is the same! If you are looking to DJ for events, invest in traktor, there's a reason so many big-time artists use it for their sets. That being said, there are a couple very minor problems I have with this controller. Two are with the platters. Now on the picture, they are obviously metallic, but your model will be plastic. Don't worry, it looks fine. Second, there's about 0.5 to 1mm of up and down wobble when you spin the platters, but it does not affect performance. Third, I run my music through a second software for EQ and bass compression, and when I run that through the studio 4a soundcard, the results are imperceptible. I suspect there's a limiter in there somewhere, or possibly, the internal preamp just can't take the signal very well. Either way, it bothers me. But for those who run audio straight through the dj software to the controller, the soundcard will amplify that fine. At the end of the say, this thing is awesome, and dare I say it, professional grade. As someone who's spent a lot of time playing around with the traktor s2 and s4, which are the benchmarks of dj controllers, the studio 4a is not that far off. Its place is about in the middle of the two. It looks just as good (IMO) and has identical features with the S2, save for the fancy loop control. Think about the studio 4a as an s2 with 4 deck control. Using the 4a, I don't feel like I'm missing much at all, but if you're really craving that extra functionality, you can buy an add-on minicontroller from both traktor and the CMD series. I'd imagine they're both awesome. At the end of the day, this thing is awesome. It looks, feels, and works too good to be $200 dollars. I suspect this will dethrone the mixtrack as the best entry level controller.

This controller is very responsive and is outstanding in performance. None of the buttons, knobs, sliders, and jogwheels feel like they can break easily. I has an nice finish with a finger print proof metal plate on top and a lightweight plastic casing. The jogwheels are pretty big and are perfect for scratching. I like that there are kill buttons for the high, mid, and low eqs. However the software that comes with it is not to my liking. The scratching is delayed with the controller. Meaning that if you were to backspin the jogwheel for a track and put your hand down to stop spinning, there will be a noticeable delay. Some say that it was done on purpose but i prefer to have it on instant. Pitch controls are very precise. The led lighting is colorful and bright. You could be under the sun and still be able to see the light. It does not come with a microphone input but i'm guessing that this is more for a beginner that does not want to spend so much money on a dj controller. It is at a great price for what you are getting. It is not as good as a numark mixtrack pro 2 but is is very close. In the box, you will have the controller, a usb cable to connect to your computer, an ac adapter, software license, and a sticker. There are 2 rca outputs and a headphone which is nice because some have to have the sound come out from the computer or a sound card which will limit your performance. Overall i would recomend this product. I see nothing wrong with it and it is set at an amazing price

The controller makes DJ-ing for beginners simple, it comes with effects switches, EQ Kills and an LED VU meter for adjusting your volumes. This controller is great for something it's price, it will be a breeze with music ranging anywhere from EDM to Hip-Hop. It ships with Deckadance 2.0 LE but you can also use it with Traktor pro and Virtual DJ being that mappings for the studio 4a have recently been available on there sites. The one thing I wish the controller had was something to control the gain. But that can be ran around by remapping the controller to your liking. Over all this is a great piece of equipment for DJ's like myself who need something as a backup to take to events, or beginning DJ's who want to get into the industry. You won't find another controller this well for this cheap.

The controller is not working at all. Seller lies about the OS about the product. He sated that no other software was needed to operate the controller. He said user could down load OS from the website, that's not true. There is demo on the website and it is not working, I was routed to another website when I tried to sign up they are not accepting new membership. The controller is not operational.

I'm usually quite hesitant to give items a low star rating (and for the price I really wanted to like this controller) but unfortunately I was disappointed by this controller. In fairness, I have been DJing for 17 years and have performed in a variety of large scale settings. I have a full line of pro equipment but was hoping to use this controller as a backup or a rig to take to my friends' houses when I'm supplying the music for their house party or event. So to that end, I'm accustomed to high end DJ equipment. Also, I started on turntables so I have a lot of expectations when it comes to a "turntable feel." I've divided this review into two sections: Hardware - 4 1/2 Stars ------------- People make a habit of knocking Behringer, but I think they make some solid products. This is no exception. Especially for the price, the build quality of the hardware is excellent. The platters feel great and solid, the knobs are excellent and have a nice feel to it. And, it looks great when its all hooked up and lit up. I can live without gains, but the real mistake is the absence of a mic input. That is an incredibly cheap omission that would have made this unit much more usable. Software - 1 1/2 - 2 Stars ------------- Hate to say it, but Deckadance is just not ready for primetime. The software is this controller's Achilles heel. I had read and watched reviews regarding this not being an ideal software for turntablism. That is certainly true - the software cant keep up with fast movement of the platter. I spin house and so I didn't think this would be a problem, but it does occasionally become apparent. The real issue with the software which makes it nearly unusable is the errors with pitch correction. I'm a serato guy, but have even used several different ipad and iphone dj apps. Generally when you use pitch control in these software suites, you can lock the pitch so that the bpm of the track is either increased or decreased, but the software will correct for the tone so that it doesn't sound like the chipmunks are singing. Deckadance too has this feature, but it does not work properly - at a certain point, the software starts inserting noises and distortion. The reality is, you simply cannot DJ properly if you cannot control the speed of your tracks without distortion. It becomes nearly unusable. Overall ------------ Let me be clear - I heard you can use this thing with traktor and I'm sure its much better. I don't have traktor - I'm a serato guy. So if you're planning on using your own software, this is an excellently built controller for the price. But if you're planning on using the software included in the box, be wary - its more of a novelty than pro dj software.

AwesomE controller, for the price I would recommend this to anybody rather your a beginner or pro. Using this on traktor and the layout is perfect for traktor effects. Lights up beautiful and the size of the controller is perfect, most controllers are small and look like toys but you will not be laughted at if you show up with this. Also material build is high quality. Also lights up beautifully. I'm impressed with this Behringer, btw I paid $159 when this first came out. Price must went up, due to all the good reviews !

Pretty legit mixer for the price. I use it with VDJ and they work nicely together. Plenty of effects and controls to keep things interesting. You can scratch on it with mixed results. But it is nowhere near as accurate or good sounding as real turntables (or some of the higher-end digital tables). But for someone just getting into DJing or beat mixing this is a cool device.
