Will You Upgrade to Traktor Scratch Pro 2 from S4?

[Zoosh]

Will NI still be developing Traktor s4 software after the release of TP 2? If they are not then i spose we should all go the TP 2 route?

i see no reason why they should continue investing in TPS4. KS4 users are getting the TP2 for free so S4 will 99.99% get discontinued. It was anyway an intermediate step for early adoption of the new TP2 features ...

Ok I have an s4 and I love it. Now I get the tsp2 upgrade for free. But I'm not going to always use the timecode. Can I just use the tsp2 software without the timecode on tsp2 or do I need the tp2 upgrade to use the s4 with no timecode?

you can use TSP2 with and without the timecode. You can just activate it on demand.

I have never owned a timecode or vinyl setup and the only reason I would purchase TSP2 upgrade would be to scratch. I have grown used to scratching on smaller jog wheels. In the past my hands on time with vinyl I found the extra surface area offered greater control (as expected).

I just recently purchased my S4 and had planned on upgrading to TSP2 and a Stanton STR8. However after calibrating, sharpening the xfader and a couple days of practice, scratching on the S4 feels 400x better than other controllers, good control, very responsive and having very little issues expressing the sounds that I want.

Now I'm reconsidering upgrading since the S4 seems to be doing a fine job scratching at the level I need (and remarkable with everything else), but I keep wondering how much further vinyl/timecode might take me and if there is still value in upgrading.

I upgraded. I like it so far. I had duo already so it was a free upgrade. I bought duo just because I needed the soundcard and timecoded stuff to play out.

Why would you not upgrade is the question lol Best thing since sliced bread! The traktor package just gets better and better.
