Found a 2nd hand pair of CDJ1000mk3's for the same price as an S4

[MiL0]

which would you choose?

[the shmobletons]

cdjs for me. if theyre in good condition

s4. i choose functionality over "industry standard"

S4, especially since I don't have a mixer.

I'd take the CDJ's myself,

unless the S4 is something you want really bad. Midi controllers are comming up all over the place these days.

I think if your just starting out, you should start from old school to build a foundation.

There are so many functions on the S4 I wouldn't even know how to start.I look at it as too much over head. However, I base this on the way I learn. You may be different.

I started on the midi controllers and now I'm on my way to cdj's. I'd say your going end up trying out all playing fields. Due to this, I'd go with the standard.

where did you find them? i wanna sell my mk2s and maybe upgrade to mk3s or just sell my mk2s and run x1 & maschine...

[thisisdjkaz]

taking in to consideration if you have a powerful laptop or not would be something to look at

[BradCee]

If you got the money.... S4

HID, works a lot better than regular MIDI

thing is, I enjoy beatmatching on traditional style decks as much as I like controllerism.

I've already got a nice little midi setup so I'm leaning towards the CDJ's... 'specially at the price I've found 'em (almost half price)
