Ok.. I give up.. I am totally lost.
I am buying a controller in the very near future and I have basically broken it down to the Kontrol S4 or the DN-MC6000... but I can't choose between the two.
This is my situation - I DJ a couple of times a month in a small nightclub where the customers favour a wide range of music - from trance to r'n'b to Top 40. The booth is quite large and there is plenty of room. The only equipment is an old (almost jurassic) mixer and, of course, the sound system.
My laptop is an ASUS Core i5 with Windows 7 (32 bit but can swith to 64). I have used and actually like both Traktor and VDJ. It's probably also important to point out that I am from Australia... but happy to buy on-line.
So, which one do I pick?
My concern is that the S4 is supposedly having issues with Windows PC's. By the time I take into account a road case (I like to protect my gear), freight etc there is not that big a difference in price; even taking into account the need for an upgrade on software if I go with the Denon.
I did look at the Pioneer and was thinking of waiting for the NS6. The Pioneer feels a little plasticy and seems aimed at a beginner. I would rather spend the money and have something long-term so I can practice. I went away from the NS6 because I don't scratch and I think that Numark are aiming at DJ's that scratch.
I would really appreciate some guidance and, while I won't hold anyone accountable, I am hoping the experienced people on here can help me decide.
Thanks,
Coops
