    Default I cannot decide on a S2 or an S4

    I just can't decide which one to get. I'm a mobile DJ just starting out (Close to 7 months now). I currently I use a Mixtrack Pro and started with VDJ. Then I started to mess around with Traktor and fell in love with it. Now I think it's time for an upgrade. I plan on getting a Midi Fighter also.

    Which should I am for, an S2 or S4?

    Do you need more than 2 channels available at all times?

    I've never dived into using more than 2 channels before

    And I guess you could say I'm still defining my "style"

    In my experience (yours may differ), I'd rather have the s4 because it allows for a lot more options. I bought the s4 before the s2 was available, but I'm glad I did because down the line I grew fond of the idea of adding a pair of 1200's to my setup and if I just had the s2 in order to do that I would have had to get an extra NI sound card. I also really like having the dedicated filter knobs, as well as the loop recorder. I haven't really found use for the sample decks yet but I'm sure I'll figure something out in the future. Maybe try getting a secondhand s4?

    If you have the money, or can wait until you do, get the S4. If not, get the S2. The 4 will allow you to grow your style into it with many more options. Both are great, but one is twice as great as the other.

    I think I've decided on what I'm going to do...
    I think I'm going to get the S2, but also get one or two x1s. I feel like this would be a better solution than the S4. Just my two cents though.
