Thanks everyone. I would love to shell out a grand on the S4, but that’s hard for me to come to since I am completely new, lol.
It’s looking like the VCI-100SE… people here seem to love it.
DJF.com seems to love the Rmx quite a bit.
tl;dr thread.
If it were me and I wanted to go Traktor, I’d either get an S4 or a VCI-100mk2. The S4 is supposedly awesome, though I don’t like it’s layout.
The VCI-100mk2 has an awesome layout…it probably does the same thing that the VCM-600 does when switching “pages” to get to the other 2 decks…which actually works pretty well on the VCM. And it has 2 effects sections and an audio interface that probably doesn’t suck.
If it’s within budget and I’m looking for an all-in-one unit to control Traktor…I’d probably go for that.
Vci-100mkii vs. Vci-100se.
Go!!!
SE. more rugged contruction for one thing, DJTT mapping and support for another.
Also, I’ve heard the mkII built in sound card isn’t that great so you might end up wanting a different one, costing you more.
I’d really consider the S4 though, it’s the best DJ in a box kit there is going!
I am drooling over the S4, but I can’t do that to the bank account. Mom would flip.
don’t tell her?
Such a bad influence 
… but yeah don’t tell her 
Maybe try to explain it to her, tell her you’ll pay off a bit of it at a time. Show her some videos!
I did that to my Dad lol, I work, but didn’t have access to the cash at the time (I’m still paying him off) and he has known music has always been a part of my life. He had no problem after I sat down and talked to him about it. I went from borrowing $250 for a Vestax DJay Spin (from the apple store) to the Traktor Kontrol S4 $799 ($1000 is what I paid out the door - including tax and 3 years extended warranty. $799 is not a typo, I used the 10% off coupon for GC - well it should be like $830 in reality, but w/e).
Depeding where you live, their might have Traktor scratch pro + X1 free for round 800$ i do not know if this is still available or if it was available somewhere else then in Montreal, qc, canada. hopes this help
You should be able to get that combo cheaper than that, TSP is at half price atm.
DONT GET THE DJ IN A BOX!
get the total control, and the dj io sound card separately. then get better headphones.
Although i have great respect for theory, don’t buy Numark. Stick with Vestax and NI.
Seriously, TPro and an X1 hooked up to an external mixer, cheapest and best way, maybe 2 X1s for 4 deck cotrol and a 4 channel mixer.
Ah but no jogs for fine movement control… i don’t scratch but I’d miss my jogs!
Yip you can find that combo on Ebay for $500. I think thats a damn sweet deal IMO. Its prob one of the best combos you can get esp if you gig around alot.
I concur wholeheartedly.
You only need to take your lappy and your X1 with you, hook into the club mixer and away you go.
Perfect.
my post was a ‘if’
and i didnt know that at the time that i bought it. but i love my TC anyway
and its sad because i know its a ticking time bomb :S
