Question on Traktor Compatibility with new set up
HI all
I am the happy owner of two Traktor Kontrol S4s and after many year of use, I am thinking of moving to the next level. I still want to continue use Traktor but want a better sound card and the flexibility of using just CDJs/XKJs only if I want to.
I always play for decks and I am wondering if the Pioneer DJM-900NXS2 4-Channel Digital DJ Mixer with (2) XDJ-1000MK2 will allow me to play 4 Traktor decks. This is the set up that I am considering.
I also want the ability to use my current library in iTunes of 40,000 items without having to convert anything to Recordbox.
It is going to be a $5,000 investment to I am trying to get as much feedback as possible to make sure this is the right move. I have the latest Mac Os and Traktor versions.
Thanks

Hi Erik and all
Thanks so much for the quick answer. Your reply was really useful as I "assumed" the XDJs were HID compatible. That really answers my dilemma. Period.
Undertanding that it will be a couple of thousand dollars more expensive! can you re-read the question if I were to use two CDJs 2000s or - I guess 900's instead of the XDJs. I got rid of all my CDs so I really don't see a need but If they are the only ones with HID, then so be it.
The key asks for me are:
- I want to continue use Traktor 4 decks and wonder if the 900 mixer and CDJs will do the trick (Ie: how do I switch between A/C and B//D). I will not get 4 CDJs unless I win the lottery tomorrow
- I want to maintain all my cue points and continue leveraging my extensive Itunes music without having to conver to Recordbox 50,000 tracks
- In the event that anything occurs with Traktor/Mac or if I simply want to, I want to just use the CDJs by themselves (I understand i need recordbox etc etc)
Thanks again for your time and help!!!
