So, I just brought back my s4.
The S4 is amazing. However, I don't really like where the controller world is going so I decided to take it back. Some many controllers are coming out so fast its just mesmerizing.
This video explains how I feel about the customization of controllers:

Last weekend I found the time to repair the micro switches in my cdj800MKII. Works like a charm now. I bought a very low wattage soldering iron and soldered new switches into the board. It took forever to get the iron to heat up but I figured if it barely melted the solder it wouldn't damage any components. I've decided that I'm going to start burning cds until I can afford CDJs with jump drive compatibility.
So right now I'm spinning together tracks on two cdj800s and a denon x120.
So here's where I wanna know what everyone thinks.
I'm very limited to purchasing second hand equipment. Mainly because I'm probably going to need to finance whatever I buy a little bit. (My glasses just broke into two from taking them off my face UGHHH)
I'm going to wait patiently to see what becomes of the Behringer Nox mixers next month because that would save me a load of money. So I got probably a month before I make a decision(gives me some time to get the beatmatch fine tuned).
If behringer falls short or can't curve my decision enough, I'm looking at the pioneer stamp.
I've looked all over the internet that may be reasonably obtainable to me and I could not come across a djm-800.
There is a DJM-800 at L&M but its 1850 plus bullshit.
The DJM-900 is 1999+bullshit
The DJM-2000 is 2300+bullshit
It seems to me its just as well to go for the 900 due to how steep the 800 is.
But if I'm going to drop it. Its only a 300 dollar price difference between the 900 and 2000.
So 800 is pretty well out of the question (unless I can find it for second hand).
The 900 is pretty much what I'm looking at right now. I never actually seen the djm-2000 in person. They both have soundcards in them so either choice will enable me to never have to use soundcards again. I like that the 2000 has a wet/dry for the color effects, but the rest may be over kill.
Thats like the same thing with the cdj900vs2000. at L&M theres only a 200 difference in the price. You'd think that it be at least 500 in the difference of price.
Right now alot of the quantize features wont be usable because my cdjs are only 800's and no record box. but the effects are not really that important, so that means that djm-2000 would probably be redundant.
What do you think about it all?
I realize is probably a beat to death topic but I don't really have anyone to have this conversation but the DJTT community. There you have it.
