I had a Novation Twitch for a while as a home unit before I stopped DJing. Looking at potentially getting back into it when I'm done with this next production certification @ Berklee online. Going to look into new career path(s).
I am considering the Numark NV, Xone 4D, or S4 or S8. I was able to use the touch strips fine to beat match on Twitch. I rarely planned ahead enough to ensure all my track beat grids were perfect. But if I want to use the remix decks that sort of is a must I suppose. The reason I am considering the Xone 4D is because I used a Xone DX for last 2-3 years I was gigging. I used it with a itch and loved the controller and Serato.
Through my production learning path, I've accumulated a lot of NI products: Maschine Studio, Komplete 10, Kontrol S61, and various plug ins. I have TP1 license too. NI also has jobs in U.S. and my background (day job) is ~20 years in IT coupled with DJing and Home studio. So thinking might be good to be better aquatinted with Traktor & NI HW.
But also curious in people are adjusting to the S8. As well as how it would contrast or compare to my other options. Looking for outside opinions here... I can compare options, specs, etc... But real life helps helps a lot before dropping $1k
