I’ve had this mixer for about a year and have DJ’d at a couple parties with it and it works very well for the price. There are a few issues with it, but you can work around most of them.
First, the most important thing is being able to cue up the music with headphones. In order to avoid buying a new soundcard with two outputs, you can set the headphone output to the left channel and the master output to the right, then buy a “stereo to mono” splitter to split the two channels, then you buy two “mono to stereo” adapters to turn each channel into a full channel. . . . I know it sounds dumb, but it works perfectly.
There are a few other issues including the fact that it doesn’t light up, so its hard to see in dark parties and it doesn’t have as many sound effects as other mixers, but for $100 you can’t beat this software and mixer combination.
It’s served me well for a year and has gotten me addicted to DJing, I’m now upgrading to the Torq Xponent, its a lot more expensive, but offers many more features.

First off I was a huge fan of Trance music and I really wanted to get into mixing and making my own cd’s. However, I had no idea where to start and how much money it was going to cost. After months of research I came across this beauty. The M-audio Mixlab was the best thing I could have purchased with my experience mixing (little to none) and my budget (fairly low). The software that it comes with (Torq LE) is a slimmed down version of the real thing but for where I was it was perfect. The mixer is also a slimmed down version of bigger, more complicated hardware. However, dont let the look of it throw you off, it has everything you need to get started and much more. This whole set is perfect for if you want to learn (or even just see if you want to get deeper into Djing)
Note: I had to buy a new audio interface (Numark DJ Io) and a pair of monitor speakers (M-audio audiophile Av 30) to fully appreciate what I could do. If you have a one channel soundcard on your PC then you wont be able to cue you mixes. It applies to every other dj equipment you may buy
