Hi guys!
Basically, im looking to purchase my first set of dj equip, preferably a midi controller, and traktor pro 2 has impressed me, based on the various reviews and youtube videos on it and i feel that having sample decks opens alot of options. Serato itch does have its pros, but the lack of inbuilt FX's kind of deters me from getting it. Therefore, im leaning more on the side of getting a midi controller that is compatible with Traktor.
My budget is about 1000usd, b4 conversion to sgd, as I actually live in Singapore.
After some research, I'm in a dilemma over which controller to choose.
1. VCI-100SE/Arcade Edition/MkII US$549-799
2. VCI-300 Mk II US$799
3. Kontrol S4 US$899
Of course im open to other options.
My main grouses are that 1, VCI-100 dosent support Traktor Pro 2 as of yet and even though it is reliable, it has been out for relatively long, and would require an additional soundcard. 2, VCI-300 natively supports only serato itch, unless modded. 3. The kontrol would be the most expensive, but it comes with a free TP2 upgrade, which would save me money. But, i kind of feel that a 4 deck controller would be abit too much for a beginner to handle and learn the ropes from.
What i think would be perfect for me would be something like the VCI-300 MKII(a 2deck controller), but natively supporting TP2. But i know it dosent exist.
I would play mainly, house, trance, electro and some rnb. Am only interested in being a bedroom dj so far, just having fun as a hobby, so portability is not a problem. I also don't want to buy a cheap equipment only to upgrade it a few months down the road, will plan to stick with the equip for a longgg time.
Do you guys have any opinions/suggestions on which equipment should i get? Thanks alot! And sorry for the WOT. I appreciate the help!
