    Can you expand on that more, what can the S4 do that the T1 can't, i know it has better job wheels. They look like they can do pretty much the same thing. What makes the s4 so amazing?

    Three year old technology vs new technology. Can't really put them up against each other.

    Care to expand upon that statement? Both manipulate current, up to date software which allow you to play exactly the same audio files, so what you've said makes no sense. If you are refering to the mechanical interface, then there is an element for debate I agree, although the end result is the same.

    Only referring to the hardware. It wasn't Traktor Vs Serato he was asking. The new technology has better ways to manipulate both softwares. This thread IMO is like a Iphone 2 vs Iphone5, which is better?

    Why not just spend the extra money and get the newest product. Its not like the S4 has an awesome track record.

    My order is ready for pickup (DDJ SX), and I only have few concerns that I can't wait to test out.

    1) Jog integration with the software - I hope it is damn tight as the S2/S4 is with Traktor.
    2) The static technology used for the jog - hope it isn't crap if your hands are moist in the slightest - I sweat like a mofo sometimes.
    3) The software does not completely suck.

    Other than that (for the most part) I think I am prepared for what Pioneer has created. If I don't like it, I will sell it

    1: It won't be - the S2/S4 use a different system to talk to Traktor.
    2: Dirty boy...
    3: I think the new Serato software looks very good, I liked Itch and it just seems a big improvement

    Good choice. The 3 guys I know who have bought s4's have all broken them or had to have em sent back for repair.

    Fingers crossed the SX holds up for you.
