So I want to still use my analogue mixer with traktor but instead of beatmatching with cdj's, I want something else, are there alternatives?
I want to run 4 decks also.

Two Kontrol X1s or wait a few months and grab two Xone: K2s. Can't really beat X1s right now and the K2 will have a bit of an edge when it comes out.
how do I nudge it like the cdj jogwheel to pitch bend and how do I adjust the pitch?
How about a pair of Denon SC2000?
Exactly. I used the 2000s for a bit and they were very useful when I did breakbeat/mixed bag type sets. For house and techhouse sets I used one X1 and keyboard as the 2000s were pretty much redundant on my tightly gridded tracks. The firmware Denon released fixed my issue with them but since leaving the States I haven't been playing out and have mine up for sale. <hint hint>
BTW I had a Xone:92 and audio8 with the 2000s...'twas a sweet setup.
how are the x1's as far as beatmatching with them?
the sc's look interesting but im lookin for something smaller
there's not much point in beatmatching on X1s, just use sync, then use the nudge and pitch to fine tune.

As if no one said midifighters or mfp. 2 would be good using the deckalized mapping.
I think Xonetacular has hit the nail on the head. For Traktor, X1's or K2's are gonna be the way to go.
For me - it's just a case of being able to do what I want with the controllers I have. That means having enough knobs,faders and buttons at hand for any custom mappings.
I use Ableton Live - so for me, a Launchpad and a UC-33e gives me everything I need. And it's completely customisable (personal mappings). If I ever get any spare cash, I'd add an MPD32 to the set-up.
For out of the box useability, the X1's are well supported...
