Noob Help - Kontrol S4 or NS6?
Hi all, forgive me if I put this in the wrong forum, just looking for a little guidance.
I started messing around with Traktor Pro 2 about 2 weeks ago and thought I'd waste some money on a controller just to mess around a bit to see if I was any good.
I went with the Numark Omni Control which I actually just got last Wednesday. I've been messing with it ever since - having a lot of fun with it, but I think I want something more and I can still return the omni control for a full refund.
I've become familiar with Traktor and have no Serato Itch experience, but its not too late to change.
I'm looking at the S4 but my buddy says I should go with NS6 and learn Itch. Every review says good and bad things about both so there is no clear winner. His two points were loop roll and ableton integration. However, beatmasher is similar to loop roll and you can integrate ableton into traktor as well.
I'm at a loss, I don't want to sink $900 into something and wish I got something else.
I also fell into a pair of sl-1200mk2's for a nice price which started all of this. It looks like both controllers will allow you to hook up turntables to them. I know the S4 will do scratching with a timecode vinyl, is the NS6 the same?
Thanks for any help!

You can only do timecode with the s4. AFAIK the ns6 will not be able to work with serato scratch and timecode in the future.
Honestly s4+timecode is disappointing. The s4 is too wide to use with techs. I did it for a while and if you are going to go that route, save the money and get a dn x1600 or djm 900 nexus and do timecode.

Actually according to scratchworx it does support ssl vinyl timecode control. Interesting.

I probably won't be using the techs too much, just thought it was a nice added feature. I will mostly just be using the controller and a laptop.
I was actually thinking about selling one of the decks anyway as I bought them just to listen to old vinyl. I just happened to find two for the price one.
