So altogether it's $570, which is not bad. I haven't seen many real world reviews of Traktor users using it, though.
I'm thinking this is still the way to go. I didn't want to spend $800 bucks, but might not have much choice. Does it function as a stand alone mixer, too, or do you have to be plugged into the computer and software?
Which hardware were you using before, and which hardware are you using now?

Btw, I have two Stanton Str8-150s and an old Denon DN-X100 mixer as my vinyl setup. Yes, I do like to scratch. To me that's part of the fun of spinning vinyl, so I would like a DVS system that is conducive to that.
Other stuff I have right now: Traktor Kontrol S2 Mk2, Akai APC 40 (don't use it) and I know I have a Traktor A2 somewhere from when I thought I was going to run Traktor on the APC. Unfortunately, I can't use that with TSP.
I have another question: Sometimes I see guys saying that want to buy a serial for TSP, what does that mean? I thought if you want it you have to buy a piece of hardware that has it, like the Z2, or a soundcard like the A6 or A10 that also includes it? How would you get around that? A mixer with built in soundcard that is Traktor certified and you pick up control vinyl?
Thanks for all the input, guys.
