Any reason you're not expressing your usual opinions on the S2/4 in this thread?

Because despite the fact I personally dislike the S2/4 - primarily when judged against their competition in the same price bracket - the simple fact is that all of the hardware YOU advocate is so much more expensive than an S2/S4, you'd have to be insane to recommend it instead.

I don't care if you can shoot a CDJ2000 with a 40mm artillery round and have it keep playing, the fact is that when you're saying to people, "you should save up and get a set of Pioneers" instead of just buying something they can AFFORD and playing music, it's bloody mental.

How is advocating the use of an X1 and a sound card "so much more expensive than an S4"? That's what I use for gigs, and it's what I recommend to people using controllers while neglecting existing booth gear.

GUYS, back on topic, my friend over here just had this AMAZING idea for the next NI controller.
I really think it's genius, and would be an amazing feature: Platter (and maybe fader) tactility synced with beat detection.
In layman's terms, little motors or actuators that raise or make vibrate the platter when traktor detects a beat. This would make cueing so much better in terms of not relying on visual cues.

He literally suggested this one 5 minutes ago, and since then i've been thinking how frickin awesome it would be.

Ears > tactile > visual. Headphones work fine for cueing don't they?

Doesn't he only use an ipod shuffle and an 808?

its a duo, so it shows how much you know about what you're talking about.

and i didnt say tat u can tour the world on a mixtrack pro. im saying a good DJ can still rock a party on a MTP over a clown who THINKS he knows what hes doing on 2 1200s and whatever mixer and thinks he's going to "Educate the crowd" with his extensive knowledge of deep house because he refused to play anything that club goers want to hear. I've been playing clubs for 2 years on my s4, some clubs that pack 2,500 people. Im not a bedroom DJ, so another assumption completely wrong. At least know what you are talking about before you criticize people or DJs or gear.

people here are either illiterate, ignorant, or just plain dumb.

Funny, most of the pictures of Flosstradamus on Google Images show them using 2 1200s and "whatever" mixer. And others show them using CDJs + X1 with Traktor, which is what I recommend.
