Traktor Scratch Pro 2 S4 Upgrade Options

[hayden14]

So ive been looking at how to upgrade to scratch on the s4 when T2 comes out and seems like there is only one way to do this. You either pre order off NI or Order on April 1st but within those options i have questions. Does anyone know if you preorder Scratch it will arrive on April 1st, like are they shipping a couple days before april 1st so you will receive it then or does it ship that day and depend on your shipping option. Also on april 1st will it be available in stores? Could i walk into Guitar Center or Best Buy on that day and find it on the shelf and buy it there. I love my S4 but cant wait to combine it with vinyl so im trying to get this as soon as possible. Final, is the price $139 for sure or is that just the MSRP off NI. If you have any info to these curiosities please let me know thanks!

From the research that I've done NI is the only place for now and the near future that carries the S4 Scratch Upgrade. On the site it says that the upgrade boxes don't come in until March 30th, so they will most likely get out to you 3-5 days from then. The earliest could be April 2nd if they get their shipment and immediately send them out, but most likely they will be sent out the next day. I'd hope for an early arrival being the 3rd and prepare for one around the 5th. If you really wanted to buy it in stores it seems like you could get the Scratch Upgrade for people who already own a soundcard like the Audio4Dj that can take Timecode. This costs $339 and only has the software and Control Vinyl/CD's. Honestly, it's a waste of money and the wait is well worth it. Maybe it will be a good thing, like the S4, where they update the software before it's gotten to everyone who preordered it. It's all a crapshoot when it comes to those things, but I think preordering the S4-->Scratch Pro 2 Upgrade and waiting the 5 days will be the best bet.
