title says it all. i mean i could use traktor. or serato. but the way i mix, long and slow with xfader. suits me best on vdj 8.2 mixed with this controlller. i bought the ddj-sp1. and it helps. but with the prexisting effects already built into vdj.
but i dont see too many on the market know with onboard effects built into the controller like a mixer?

I'm not sure I get it... Why do you mention Serato and Traktor?
Yes they have internal effects just like VDJ, so I don't see much of a difference (except that VDJ supports .vst effects, so there is no limit to the effects you can add, whereas Serato only have the ones provides by Serato)
Anyway... Controllers like the Pioneer DDJ-SZ and Pioneer DDJ-SZ2 have built-in hardware effects (soundcolor effects) like the ones on the more expensive Pioneer mixers.
Since they are hardware based they will work with anything. They are just there. VDJ can't really do anything about them
And those controllers are huge - much bigger than the MC6000

i know i had one. way before they had support for vdj. i mentioned the other dj software. because well the effects are much better. if vdj had effects like the other two. it would convert a lot of other djs besides wedding/party djs. i just dont LIKE them.
sound colorization and the like would be great. and i dont care about size. my setup stays home. and is meant for podcasts only.i on the rare occassion i play out i ususaully use rekordbox and usb sticks. which is ok. but thats only because its the industry standard.

I don't really think they are better anymore with VDJ8... But the great thing is: That doesn't really matter anymore, because as explained VDJ now supports .vst plugins, so you can add pretty much any effect you want into VDJ these days
Like this:
You can also change the filter effect if you like:
But IF I were to add hardware based effects to my setup, I wouldn't settle for the soundcolor effects on a mixer or controller
Then I'd add something like a Pioneer RMX-500 effect unit (or maybe even one of it's big brothers):
