**DDJ-SX2 (running Traktor) vs. S4**

Hey guys!

I have had an S4 for a couple years now and am fluent with both the hardware and Traktor Pro software. My S4 has been acting up of late so I am back on the market, but **I also want to become more comfortable mixing on CDJs**.

I cannot afford the full “2xCDJ + mixer” setup so was looking into the Pioneer controllers as a solution to bridge the functionality of CDJs with the logistical ease/cost-effectiveness of a controller. **I am most interested in the DDJ-SX2.**

_- How similar is the functionality of the DDJ-SX2 compared to CDJs? Is it an easy translation?_  
_- How compatible will the DDJ-SX2 be with Traktor Pro?_  
_- Will the switch from S4 (apart from learning the hardware) be worth it to use Traktor Pro over Serato?_  
_- If wanting to learn CDJs is my only reason for switching (other than tackling a new challenge), is the similarities enough to merit the change in gear?_

Thank you in advance. I am excited to see what the knowledgeable folks here have to say.

Cheers,

MD
