    Default Decisions, decisions?

    Hey Guys!

    A few weeks ago i was thinking about purchasing a S4 but now i've changed my mind and i'm thinking, 'i already have an X1, and a sound card and TP2 why should i spend £800 on a S4?' instead i'm thinking about getting another X1 a Audio 6 DJ, selling my Audio 2 DJ and i'm currently on the hunt for a Allen & Heath Xone 42 at a reasonable price!

    So what i'm wondering is, am i doing the right thing by doing this and scrapping the S4 all together?

    Cheers,
    Towifer

    depends on how you wanna work, that set-up has it's pros/cons, but they are slightly different to the S4 pros/cons

    Well first things first i'm not a huge fan of the way the S4 is laid out, i'd never use the jog wheels to me they're just a colossal waste of time and space, and i like the idea of just been able to take my MBP and my X1's to a club and using the clubs mixer rather than having to take a S4 with me that might not even fit comfortably into the booth?

    Could you tell me some of theses pros and cons please?

    No need to be hostile! At the end it is all about what matters to you, so if you are set on not having a big controller like the s4, then thats your choice!

    You're quite correct I shouldn't have responded in such a way, and i should have probably made it more clear in my original post (by referring to it) i'd like to know about peoples personal experiences with both of these sets of equipment and if they'd prefer anything from the former or latter?

    My apologies, but I still think the way he responded was quite lame.

    Personal insults are uncalled for in any situation on this forum. And half apologies are also lame.

    first, fuck you

    second, it already sounded like you had made your mind up

    third, you had listed the main pros/cons
