Mixtrack Pro 2 / Kontrol S2 / Ergo-K for beginners
Hey guys,
since few weeks I’ve been thinking about buying a controller because I want to start djing finally
But after reading plenty of reviews and rifling through threads I couldn’t make a decision which controller would be the best for me to start with.
There are three controllers my focus lies on: the new Numark Mixtrack Pro 2, and two older ones, the NI Traktor Kontrol S2 and the Pioneer DDJ Ergo-K (that looks great )
So, can you help me with my decision, posting f.e. pros / cons and lead me in the right direction?
Thanks for your answer. In the past, I played a little with Virtual DJ but without controller. It’s solid program.
But apart from that, I don’t use any other dj software.
Yes that’s right, the S2 comes with the full version of Traktor Pro 2.5 and the possibility to upgrade to 2.6.
The Ergo-K only features Traktor LE but is also compatible with Serato I think.
And the Mixtrack Pro 2 comes with Serato Intro but should handle VDJ and Traktor as well concerning mapping.
I only know that there are many tutorials for Traktor on YouTube and there is even a book called “Traktor Bible”.
But honestly, the dj program isn’t absolutely important for me. I like to have a reasonable controller that can give me the best learning experiences in the long run
@Stewe: thats true, the mapping is essential for the right control of the software.
But like I said, the controller is more important for me than the software. And certainly, these controllers have advantages and disadvantages. So this is my deal to find the right one for me
