5.0 out of 5 stars Great Price, good starter product
I'm an amateur DJ, and I wanted to control the VirtualDJ software and took the risk to buy and try this item, it worked for what I wanted, I mix my MP3 and record the output in another MP3, the mixer and controls are all handle pretty well by the BCD, I recommend this product if YOU ARE NOT a PROFESIONAL DJ. Hope this help....

3.0 out of 5 stars BCD3000
The BCD3000 is a good product if you are just starting out DJing. You don't have to burn any CDs. I purchased this because I was going to be overseas for 3 months and didn't want to go too long without DJing.

3.0 out of 5 stars BCD3000, June 27, 2008

The BCD3000 is a good product if you are just starting out DJing. You don't have to burn any CDs. I purchased this because I was going to be overseas for 3 months and didn't want to go too long without DJing. It works well but the downside is that if you want to record your sets you have to spend an extra $120 to upgrade your software. As long as you have a use for Traktor then it's not bad to spend that money but other than that it's a waste.

The downside is it felt kind of cheap. The knobs didn't seem like they worked too great, but it will get you by. If it's your first set of DJing equipment then you wouldn't notice though.

2.0 out of 5 stars BCD3000: Decent Hardware, Horrible Software. No 64-bit Support, February 17, 2010
By W. Wyatt "DJ Wunderkind" (Louisville, KY USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I purchased this a while ago to move from Vinyl DJing into all-digital. As an entry-level, get your feet wet without too much commitment, kind of device, it is great. Simple interface that works great with the included Traktor LE software.

The problems I had with using this device came afterwards. I decided that I wanted the full feature-set so I upgraded to the full version of Traktor. I was shocked to find that Behringer has not created a mapping file to work with the full version of the packaged demo. This struck me as odd, but I did what any moderately tech-savvy person would do and went scrounging online for a working mapping file. It took a while but I finally found one. Now I am back in business, having fun mixing.

Unfortunately, now my laptop crashes. It is a hardware issue and with the age of the laptop I decided to just buy a new machine. Sleek, Vista 64-bit machine. Go to install the device on my new machine and I keep getting errors.

It turns out that Behringer has decided that this whole 64-bit gimmick isn't worth their time. They to this day have STILL NOT released a 64-bit driver. I have e-mailed them and they do not even lie and say that they are working on it, they will flat-out tell you that they have no real plans to support 64-bit OS.

It would be one thing if it was a major issue to get midi interfaces to work with 64-bit, but it isn't. So far as I can tell, this is the ONLY midi controller of it's type that does not have 64-bit support.

TL;DR If you only have a 64-bit laptop, keep looking. Works Fine if you have a dedicated 32-bit laptop, but if you can swing the cash for a second laptop, just get a nicer midi controller and use the laptop you have. Other companies care enough to write updated drivers.

5.0 out of 5 stars BCD3000- Perfect for beginners, December 13, 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
Works extremely well with Traktor once you download the mapper (the default one is crap) and it works fine with VDJ. Some of the lights do not turn on all the time, but it really doesn't matter. This budget friendly gem will have you mixing in no time!

5.0 out of 5 stars BCD3000 - The Best with the Traktor Studio Mixer, November 28, 2008
This is the best product and amazon was great on the order.
This product has a template that you can get from Native Instruments
so that it programs all the keys for Traktor Studio DJ.

1.0 out of 5 stars Do Not Waste Your Money!!!, January 5, 2009
I highly recommend you dont waste your money on this product. For the price you definitely get a lot as there are no other mixers on the market with a built in sound card in this price range however you get what you pay for. The knobs feel very cheap and plastic and offer little to no resistance when turning them. The crossfader glides effortlessly and feels as if it could break at any moment. The jog wheels came, NEW, bent and off center. When I contacted the distributor I was told this is a common issue. The buttons responded with a "click" however once again felt cheap and useless. Setup for this unit was an absolute nightmare. It comes bundled with software and drivers that are out of date. The most up to date driver is on Behringers website. I worked long and hard with Trakktor LE, the bundled software, as well as multiple other DJ programs and could not, no matter what I tried, set up the sound card properly. The drivers also severly conflicted with my system and consistently froze it up. I am running a newly reinstalled and cleaned up XP with 4 gigs of ram and nothing else running in the background. I still had issues. Behringer was fantastic about supporting this product however and offered to replace the unit free of charge, as I had expressed severe frusteration. After about a total of 15 hours messing with this system and about 5 different programs and audio drivers, I returned the unit. Save up for the M- Audio Xponent. Its worth the extra money. I plugged that one in and installed the drivers and was up and running in less than 20 minutes.M-Audio Torq Xponent Advanced DJ Performance/Production System

1.0 out of 5 stars behringer b-control mixer BCD3000, April 6, 2009
Seemed like a good mixer for starting out with but the software was not compatible with VISTA and there are no upgrades on Behringer's website for the software. Had to send back to shipper for refund.
