    I confused Louis V and Dustin V.

    Plugging in into the club mixer is NBD.

    Restated - It's only a real mixer if Traktor is the only thing you want to use.

    I still disagree. It works very well with vinyl records. Do have one? Why do you find it so heavy? I also find it's much HigherFi as compared to the S2.


    I will eventually finish my Ableton scripts for my Z2 (and F1s) and it will be great for Ableton too. There won't be a better way to scratch inside of Ableton.

    Tbh, you've already got the best 2 channel traktor controller on the market.

    The S2 is perfect for your needs, you've just got RGAS.

    The z2 + x1 is wicked, I love a real mixer as much the next man but for what u describe you've it's not the solution.

    The vci400EGE maybe but I find it too cluttered.

    This unit is mapping friendly and it can only have it's advantages in DJ software when it comes to number of controls. I use it effectively in Traktor although CNTRL:R is designed to be used with Ableton and other music production programs. btw I saw Ritchie have it in his studio: http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fb...type=3&theater

    Does it have to be a controller? Cause i feel that you wont really gain much from upgrading to another controller, considering that the s2 is alrdy a solid unit.

    I just added a pair of 2nd hand stanton st150s to my setup, connected to my s4. learning alot man!
