Traktor Kontrol S2 or Numark Mixtrack Pro?

[masdogg]

Hello, I have never DJ'd before and I was thinking of getting a good controller as a starting point. I'm looking at the Traktor Kontrol S2 and the Numark Mixtrack Pro. Which one would be a better controller overall?
Thanks

both have their pro's & con's. google them both, do some research, then make a decision based upon your results rather than our suggestion as you will get varied and few results by asking on the forum.

the decision is yours to make.

well.... their pretty much the same prices considering that ull need software and that the kontrol s2 comes with it so it depends on what you want to do.

Scratching, effects, looping - Mixtrack Pro

BeatJuggling, sample decks, and advanced effects - Kontrol S2

Ive used the mixtrack as well as an s4, and if the s2's build quality is anything like the s4 it will be far superior than the mixtrack, which has dodgy quality and knobs/faders that don't feel solid, I also dont particularly care for the jogs on the mixtrack either... the s2 has more controls more controls, have better scratching via HID, etc etc

tl:dr - if you have the money go for it, you will be happy you spent the extra money... if not the mixtrack pro is great to start learning with and to develop some sets/routines

Yep, this is exactly what I was going to say. I'd definitely go for the S2 if I had the money.
