Our take
The Behringer CMD Studio 4a is a capable 4-channel MIDI controller that gives you plenty of hands-on control. I appreciated the solid feel of the buttons and faders, though the plastic body worries me for gigging. Setup was straightforward with Traktor and Serato, thanks to the USB connectivity. The powered design means no bus power issues, which is a plus. However, it's not an all-in-one unit—you'll need a separate audio interface for the best sound quality. The lack of jog wheels is a downside for scratch DJs. Overall, it's a decent mid-tier controller for production or bedroom mixing.
