S4 software without the actual controller
Hi all!
I was wondering if anybody knows if NI have plans of launching the S4 version of TSP without the hardware? Just like everyone else on the board I guess, I wanna use the new sample decks and all that, with a regular ol’ Audio8.
Plus, I use turntables and the S4 controller don’t have DVS yet, so…
supposedly TP and TSP should be getting sample decks at one point
the S4 software is coming out as an payed upgrade from traktor pro. my guess is some time early next year.. probably when the S4 soft gets timecode..
Yeah, good suggestions.
I’m wondering if I should buy the whole TSP package now, and then upgrade the software when it comes, since TSP is so super cheap right now. The current discount+an upgrade later will maybe be cheaper than to buy the whole thing after the upgrade. What do you think?
depends on how eager you are to get it.
true, true. Guess I’ll take a few extra shifts this month =)
Has there been an official announcement that it will be payed? Last I heard it was all still speculation.
i dont think there was an official announcement.. just read somewhere (probably here) that it will be payed (got 99€ as price in my head. dont know where this comes from 
)
I have a sneaky suspicion it will be paid. I may be wrong (and would be so happy if I am) but that is quite a lot extra as a free upgrade?
If we’re lucky it will be a low price upgrade, kinda mac OSX Snow leopard level rather than XP > Vista.
note: see how I managed to be totally bipartisan with that comment? Soz Linux users 
99 euro paid update was my prediction. No official word yet though
To be fair, i’d definitely pay that.
I’m thinking the same thing.
so you guys think it will be just an upgrade? I am waiting for these sample decks before I jump at any software purchases
I think it will be a paid update, and I also think it would be worth it to buy Scratch while it’s on sale. I’ve been wrong before though.
why do you say scratch? I don’t have turntables, just for the future possibilities?
Agreed. I’ll go spend the money earned from teaching kids how to DJ on TSP tomorrow. It’ll be the final blow for poor old Serato though, who has been with me for oh so many years.
well Scratch Pro comes with an Audio 8 which on its own costs about £400 and is fantastic.
I think the update for the S4 to have scratch functionality will be similar to what it costs to go from Pro to Scratch now. If you already have a scratch license though I think it’ll be a better deal plus you get an Audio 8 and TSP will not always be half price. Think of it as an investment that either gets you a free Audio 8 or a free TSP license depending on which one you eventually sell.
damn that aint bad. like 800 bones there. But I don’t really need an audio 8. audio 4 at best if i can get ableton rigged into traktor pro
