*Need your opinion*
*Need your opinion* Posted on: 13.12.2012 by Julieann Sparhawk I've been Djing with a Numark Mixtrack Pro for over a year now. Which I can say was a great start for anyone that wants to start Djing and doesnt want to spend a lot of cash. But I've gotten into Djing so much that it's time for me to start upgrading. I've been looking into two different set ups. This is where I need your opinion. A. *Native Instruments Kontrol S2 (Used for $300 from a good friend) *2x Native Instruments F1 (New $250x2= $500) ***Total $800 OR B. *Native Instruments Kontrol S4 (New $900) *Dj Tech Tools Midi Fighter Pro (New $300) ***Total $1,200 Both is a huge upgrade. Just B. will take me a lot longer to save up for. | |

| Nereida Jasnoch 14.12.2012 | I'd definitely wait with adding a MF or F1. Master what you get first (or at least practice with for a month) then decide what 's missing (read: what RGAS tells you to buy) I got an S4 for about 10 months and it's perfect for traktor. But really have you considered CDJs or Turntables ? Just a friendly warning because the S4 was good to learn traktor on but if you 're already decent because you mixed with a mixtrack for over a year it might be a perfect time to ditch the laptop. I found the S4 pretty dull to mix on after a while and I believe setups without a laptop are more fun, or maybe a DVS setup without the laptop in front of your face. It's just what I would do for me if I could turn back time. And I see you want to get into controllerism, no offence, really, but I'm just saying it might not be like Ean Golden 's videos or the NI promos. |
| Ashanti Andreacchio 14.12.2012 | For the second price you could get the Pioneer DDJ SX and 1 F1 witch is the setup I use right now. 1 F1 is enough for most sets it takes 1 sec the most to switch from deck C to D and you can still use bouth at the same time. Exsample you trigger 4 samples on deck C press Shift + turn browser knob now your controlling deck D trigger some sample and now you like to do some filter on a sample on deck C Shift + browser knob now do your filter. I did have 2 F1 but sold 1 because it was overkill for what I do with remix decks. |
| Annalisa Shogren 14.12.2012 | Just don't get a midi fighter for god sake. |
| Tera Baragan 14.12.2012 | Vci 400 forsure. Definitely what I have my eye on right now. |
| Tatum Ansaldo 14.12.2012 | I'm sure some people can rock am awesome set with 2 F1s, but going from a very basic 2 channel controller to a 4 deck setup with 2 remix decks is a hell of a big step. They're not going to stop selling F1s any time soon and one is enough to start with. |

| Tatum Ansaldo 14.12.2012 | Don't bother with 2 F1s, I thought the idea was awesome and bought one then decided it wasn't for me right now. You can always buy a second one later. Also bear in mind that with the S2 you'd have no volume fader or EQ for the Remix decks. I'd say S4 or VCI-400 and go from there. Maybe one F1 or a MF3D. |
