Hi all getting the bug again with all the fancy hardware out now that i could only dream of at the time i put the headphones downabout 10 years ago
but i am undecided on what to get..
my current set up is a very very worn out denon dn-sc2000 that the cue button is dead and play only works half the time an ecler nuo 5 (very sexy feel but no channel leds isnt great) with an american audio versaport (very not sexy interference noise) and a maschine running the beuabryte mapping)
realistically i know the rest of the set up is good but the denon just needs to go its actually a really well made bit of kit but is very cramped
i always wanted to learn to scratch so at the moment im looking at either getting a rane twelve mkII and using the real mixer setup or scrapping that and getting the kontrol s4 mk3 which does seem like a lot more value for money and would be a lot more portable which would be nice as my old set up was built around playing club sets with a laptop without needing dvs control as i was on a limited budget
i also like the look of the ddj 1000 and i know that it would be the logical option to be in the rekordbox ecosystem but i have always been a traktor fanboy and the motorized jogs just sellls it for me
the twelve really gets me going though the only thing that holds me back is that its not as much bang for the buck and i would have to get a new soundcard also to have 4 deck playback its hard to justify the costs when its just gonna be for bedroom use
as for the s4 i really like it seems like the best value for money and i also do have a pair of numark tt200s in storage that i could fit one of in my setup i had a friend that used serato with one deck and he just pressed a keyboard button to switch deck control over im assuming the same would be possible in traktor but not too hyped on this idea as the decks have not aged well the rubber coating has gone sticky , have bad reviews and would have to buy needles for them anyways
so yeah just wondering what you guys would do in my situation
thanks for reading gang
