Hello everyone. I am pretty new to the dj world and have only been mixing on my buddies SR for a few months. I have fell in love with it and now its time to start my owe set up. I really like his SR and the with the 16 pads it makes it a lot of fun. And i know I want to add the Traktor F1 some day since I’m really into remixing songs up. I been looking at reviews on both the sr and the s4 and cannot make my mind up. which one is better and why. is there really any big difference between the two. I just need some help please. thanks
My Rice Cooker can do Pasta too, but it makes more sense to use a stove
Works, yes. Works as well as the S4 with Traktor - nope.
Firstly the jog wheels are nowhere near as responsive and the labeling doesn’t exactly match.
The remix deck functions on the S4 are going to be heaps better as well with color coding and scroll functions - most of what the f1 does you will be able to do with the S4.
Also the S4 has more inputs, channels and can be used for DVS as well.
If I was going to use Traktor I’d most likely go with the S4/S2 unless I was going completely modular or needed a multi-function controller to use with other software.
Personally I prefer the build of the SR, but wouldn’t dream of using it with Traktor when theres dedicated controllers that IMHO do the job “better”.
At this point Tekki will probably move the post to the Hardware Forum hehe …
