My dad is going to Miami in a few weeks, and since he supports me in everything i do, he told me:
‘‘I’m going to miami, it’s the time for you to get good gear and move out of that keyboard’’ ( My midi keyboard i mapped for mixing lol )
So first thing that came to my head:
Traktor S2
Kontrol X1
And some headphones ( which should i get? )
Do you think the traktor s2 + x1 is a good combo? I’m a 2 deck mixer, so a 4 deck like the s4 wouldn’t be so much use. I’m starting to use samples, and that worries me, since you can’t trigger samples with the s2.
One last thing, i can’t afford so much, i’m paying half he’s paying half. no richy richy
I’m guessing there’s cheaper alternatives? like sample triggers, i’ve seen lots out there i just can’t recall the names. Since the s2 is only 399 and the s4 is 899 that’s 500$ i can use on other shit like the headphones i’d need and the x1
Exactly this. Since my dad is going there, he just needs to buy it and bring it in his luggage and i won’t be charged 30$ shipping.
On another hand, i could manage to get the money for the S4 before he leaves, but i need you guys to tell me which should get, S4 or S2+Kontrol x1+ sample trigger? (thinking of a novation lauchpad) ?
i’d still go with the S4 if its financially an option. S2 is nice but with the new features coming to Traktor i would want to make sure i have the most options in terms of controls.
Wait. I aware u can trigger sammples from the s2. So I would sagiy s2 and wait for the f1 to come out. For headphones get pioneer hdj500. They are real good for the price.
Don’t go for Sony Headphones, bought them 2 months ago and already not a fan, as for the question; i worried that i wouldnt use the all the s4’s features so i though id get the s2 but i didnt wanna be limited in what i do. The s4 is the complete package and unless i wanted to move up to 2 cdjs and a mixer the s4 is perfect. still the industry standard controller IMHO.
