Reply to Thinking Realistically (Traktor F1)

It's pretty,
It's got 16 RGB pads,

But are you really going to use the thing?

I'm considering jumping on the F1 but I have to ask myself, is it really worth $249 for control over remix decks and a potentially mappable piece of midi hardware?

Then you have to ask yourself, can you see yourself gigging with the thing everyday?


Then you weigh the plusses in.

It completely revolutionizes one's workflow

No longer are we limited to playing songs....

64 samples in the banks means limitless possibility for live remixes. Taking pieces of tracks and acappellas and layering them to create an absolutely fantastic set showcasing the limit of what's possible. With utilities like the loop recorder available, the possibilities are limitless.

I'm skeptical and still continue to be about jumping on this.

However, I believe it's time to step up and get used to a new workflow as a dj, because there are miles of possibility ahead.
