Pioneer DDJ-SZ; The Ultimate Club-oriented Controller!

Jesus that's a big controller.

Kind of makes me want a Bozak and a pair of turntables, keep it simple.

well shit, controllers keep coming out for SDJ and not a single one comes out for traktor, if this keeps going traktor is DONE

Yeah, I was thinking about that too. All the best controllers are aimed at Serato.

This is so ridiculous. What Traktor controller is this even competing with? No one is leaving their S4 to buy this thing. And, it's not just about the controller. The software is very important to most people. I can do EVERYTHING I need to do with my Traktor DVS system and an X1 and F1, literally. There is nothing limiting me right now. I don't sit around and wait for a controller that can FINALLY do all the things that would make my workflow better. What are you missing? What can't you do right now with current controllers? Sure, Traktor could benefit from some new controllers, but their absence is not going make Traktor "DONE", as you say. This unit would be wasted on me and many other DJs, even if it was given to me for free. Forget about convincing someone in my situation to pay $2000 for it.

Sell your Traktor-related gear now before it loses its value.

Not going to happen as you can't analyze songs in Serato DJ when controller is connected. so you turn up with a USB stick with a bunch of un analyzed songs. auto loop/roll, Slicer, BPM (grid) oriented FX won't work because they rely on the analyzed grid. but the second scenery is possible because you can download Serato DJ and analyze you collection of songs and when connected to controller at club your ready.

Huh? It analyzes it instantly when u load the track in...................

So other all-in-one controllers are much cheaper and more portable.
Modular set ups are even more portable and possibly cheaper, unless you go ham on the mixer you'll be using at home.
You can get 2x900 + DJM250 for about the same price (second hand) which will be better quality and better for practice at home.

Am I missing something?

Quite a lot as I dont see 4 channels on a djm 250, or the ability for stored cue points to just strike the surface of differences.

sexy sexy. But your rainbows won't get me this time, marketing department!

So if I understand this correctly, you can have 1 dj playing CDJ's or Serato DVS (standalone mixer with 4 inputs) another using Serato DJ and another using Traktor (2 USB's) without switching anything. You can always mount the CDJ's above the controller and have 1200's on the sides. This controller has 2 USB's and the the soundcard is compatible with Traktor or VDJ. Wow, that's slick.

As a traktor user i feel awful...
NI get serious and start working with pioneer or create something equal to the sx or the sz on your own
If NI continues like that she will become Hercules...

then I'm doing something wrong because for me it only anilizes the waveform and I can't use the slicer on it and loop roll are not quantized.
