Have been driving myself mad the last couple of days trying to decide on which digital controller to buy and had pretty much decided on the Mixtrack Pro until I saw the Numark N4 advertised which fits my requirements much better.

Anyone else planning to buy one?

I don't an N4, but I have recently bought a Mixtrack Pro and I think it's great! For £150 it is perfect for the money and i've used it in all sorts of environments and venues.

If you just want a simple plug and play controller/soundcard, it's spot on!

I've been the same Chris, can't decide at all.

I saw the NS 4 and asked about it on the Digital DJ Tips website, the guy said it wouldn't stand up to life on the road.

I looked at the Citronic MPX-10 as well, but heard conflicting reports about it.

There seems to be glitches of some description with most controllers.

I really need to get one within the next week though.

Well, have taken the plunge and bought one of these units which I am currently trying to get to grips with.
A question I have though is when you are using the crossfader to move from one track to another would you expect the track to automatically start,
It is not doing this, I am having to press play as I push the slider across.
Any help would be much appreciated,

What software are you using? If it's a feature then it should just be a matter of turning it on (it's nothing to do with the controller, that can only do what the software is capable of).

To be fair, I wouldn't expect it to start the track once you move the slider. I would still expect to have to press the play button.

However, as Funky stated, this would be a feature of the software and not the controller though I don't know what software would do this for you.
