Which controller works best with DJay Pro for Mac? Looking in the $100 to $200 dollar price range.
We are very excited to download and purchase DJay Pro for Mac. It is Awesome that so many controllers are supported, but which is best? We do like pads for samples, nobs for modulation and solid construction.
I am also looking for a new and “Pro-level” 4 channel controller to work natively with Djay PRO - either on mac or iPad.
It is been really dificult to find the right long-term choice!! (Reloop Beat Pad 2? Pioneer SX2 or SZ? Reloop Terminal Mix 8? Denon?) Which one suits best the DJ PRO software (on 4 channels)?
I have the Vestax Spin2 but now it started to give me some problems (e.g. knobs and bottons with no liabilty) - last night performing at a local disco (in a Dj booth) connected throwght RCA into a Pionner 850 mixer I’ve faced some “stability” issues.
Performed for 6 hrs. in a row but 2 or 3 times the controller was almost dying!!!
This is really a matter of taste. You should definitely check several controllers to see which one fits best for your purposes. If you have any questions on certain devices, feel free to ask!
Please note that neither the Numark Mixtrack Quad, nor the Reloop Terminal Mix 4 are natively supported, yet. You’d have to map these devices yourself.
FYI: The Numark Mixdeck Quad, the Numark Mixtrack / Mixtrack Pro / Mixtrack II / Mixtrack Pro II ARE natively supported…
We have been researching them like crazy. I started another thread which I am sure you have not been able to get to yet… We just want to make sure it is indeed fully supported and mapped out.
I bought the Vestax VCI-400… It does not work… I tried to find the firmware updates to get it to work and Vestax WENT OUT OF BUSINESS!! There is NO website, There is NO support.
You should take Vestax off your list if there is no company to support it…
I vote for the ReLoop Terminal Mix 4. A little hard to find though. Its Djay Pro, Virtual DJ, Serato DJ & Traktor compatible. In my opinion, it is the all around best controller to enter digital DJing with. From it, you can graduate to any larger pro DJ controller, utilizing any worthy DJ software on the market. Go get it!
Adrian, are you sure? This is the list of natively supported controllers pasted from your website here: https://www.algoriddim.com/hardware. Scroll to the bottom and it clearly shows the Reloop Terminal Mix 4 listed.

Thank you for posting this thread. It was very helpful and I thought you might like to see the following data I compiled. I am looking for a decent controller for my laptop version of Djay. Normally I spend my time making music.
Are any higher end controllers supported natively or are there plans to?
Has anyone tried the firmware on any of the higher end Pioneer or A&H controllers?
I know this is an old thread…but IS the RELOOP Beatmix 4 Natively supported on Djay 2 or Djay Pro for MOS or IOS (macbook or ipad) yet? I want a decent 2-300.00 Controller that is Natively Supported by ALL Operating Systems and Software.
