This is the last time I will bump my thread. I am down to two devices for sure after talking to other friends of mine... including two friends who are not even dj tech people... but they understand my following situation.
The Vestax TR-1. I can find it (on eBay) for $500 including shipping, but possibly will incur customs charges when crossing the boarder. For a 2 deck controller (4 through channel switch on each bank) I really love it's layout. But with no internal sound card, I will require my own. I do have a M-Audi Fast Track Pro... so that would work... but is one more device needed to keep.
The Traktor S4. About $989 plus taxes... It's $941 via DJTT store, but I'm afraid of customs charges. It has 3 main advantages that almost make the price worth while:
1) includes full version of Traktor Pro. I'm sure I'd upgrade the Traktor LE, if I picked the TR-1. This is a cost value difference.
2) includes a built in sound card... no need for a secondary device when going out to gigs... can sell my external sound card, as I won't have use for it any more.
3) 4 deck control... and right out of the box 100% amazing compatibility with Traktor.
DJTT users... please help me. Should I save money and get the TR-1, and hopefully be happy with it... or do you think I will later wish I just got the "all-in-one" S4?
Thanks.
