Better way to go?

Here are two setups im looking at:

Traktor Kontrol S4 + new software, midi fighter

OR

2 Pioneer CDJ 800’s + a good mixer (probably pioneer or something)

Which is easier to beatmatch with and DJ live with in general? And which one is more fun to use? opinions and suggestions please? i will be playing electro house, house, hip hop and pop (including remixes)

this again.

huh? lol. im serious. tough decision!

sorry dude but there are like 10000 of this topics in the last month alone
just use the search button what you want to know as already been asked

if you are using cdjs you have to learn to beatmatch
if you use the s4 you can learn to beatmatch but all so sync

as i always say go down to your local dj store and try stuff out see what feels right
you can get a ton of advice on here but you don’t know until you try the product for yourself.

What he means is that questions like this come up at least twice a week. So just scroll down the general discussion page or let the mighty search bar be your friend.

Hope you also realize that the 800s setup will easily be twice as expensive plus you’ll have to burn tons of CDs.

Yeah, right.
But honestly, what answer do you expect from guys in a forum full of controller enthusiasts? Asking that question here, you must be jokin’. It’s like joining the “i love vinyl and button pressing sucks” group on facebook and asking people’s opinion on how audiophile those happy meal music gadgets are.

Hee hee. I think I might have caught ‘cynisism’ off that last South Park

11

Totally agree. thank you all though for help.

12

use what you enjoy watching other djs use >_>

13

Kontrol S4…

14

Get a good midi capable mixer, add an audio 2 or 6, two X1’s and a Midifighter Pro (All up probably still cheaper than two new CDJ’s btw)

15

Haha good advice bruh

16

asking a Traktor centered forum about cdj’s vs. an s4…might be a bit one sided

17

Ask here, we’ll probably say S4. Ask on DJForums and they’ll say get the CDJs.

Get the S4. And please don’t start a thread asking which shipping option to go for.
