Version: Traktor DJ Studio 2.6.1
"Good interface, lots of functions, easy to use"
Pros: I have no experience with digital mixing whatsoever but this product was easy to use. After some getting used to it and figuring out what everything means, I was beat-matching and mixing songs nonstop. The program recognizes the BPM which is pretty helpful, and can skip 1/4/8/16 counts with the click of a button which allows for some DJ-like digital scratching. You can also save the BPM of each song and organize songs by tempo, so if you're mixing for a party or anything of the sort you can just scroll right down the list and match beats easily. There are lots of other functions as well including recording but I haven'd played around with those yet. Definitely a better and more powerful digital mixing program than anything else I've seen so far (that's free).
Cons: The tempo recognition doesn't always guess the right BPM. Sometimes it'll be as simple as comparing 120 BPM to 60 BPM, which is easily manageable with some simple math. But sometimes the beat is off whack and you'll get a weird BPM that doesn't make much sense, like 75 BPM for a 120 BPM song. That ends up messing things up also if you're trying to skip counts because since they won't be counted correctly, and that throws everything off.
