What Gear Should I Buy
I am i beginner to digital djing and music production, i currently have both ableton live and traktor pro 2. I have a maximum of $1,000 to spend. So far i have looked at the following:
-Traktor Kontrol s2 and the s4
-Midi Fighter
-vestax spin
-apc40
any suggestions of what kind of gear i should get that would be best for digital djing and looping live?
roll a S2 for traktor and APC40 for ableton.
vestax spin is junk compared to rest of gear you’ve mentioned
alrite thanks, is there any other gear out there that is reasonble that i didnt mention in the list that would fit what im looking to do with it?
yeah, you should take a look at the new Behringer kit coming out. There’s an Ableton oriented controller at dirt cheap pricing, and of course the new NI FX1 that’s coming out in April w/ the new Traktor 2.5 complete with Ableton style “remix” decks.
You’d obviously have to wait a few months to head in either of those directions though.
And I personally would go with Maschine over an Ableton. You get a legit copy of the software and a controller that can be used either with Maschine or Traktor for $500. You could find used as well.
ok thanks man
S2 Controllerist Essentials Bundle
S4 + Midi Fighter Classic
I prefer these 
It’s in your price range, they do the thing, and if you get 1st you have some $ left to search for some controller for ableton.
Even if you save litlle bit more you get Akai APC40 or Akai APC20 and Novation Launchpad
