S4 Or NS6? Urgent!
S4 Or NS6? Urgent! Posted on: 26.08.2011 by Asha Kravetz Hi guys,Some luck came upon me (birthday)! Long story short, lots of monetary presents later, I have enough to either buy an S4, or an NS6 for 20 bucks more with price matching and GuitarCenter Promos... Which one should I get? I'm going there in about 3 hours so it would be helpful! Thanks Guys! | |

| Celine Surico 28.08.2011 | Yep, missed a lot of fun with S4 but that's how it is :-). |
| Gloria Lemmel 28.08.2011 | He already made his decision guys... |
| Talitha Koppelmann 28.08.2011 | I've spent a good amount of time with each unit. As far as build quality... definitly the NS6 by a longshot, but its also a lot heavier.. I personally like Traktor over Itch when it comes to FX and creative capabilities. However, the stacked waveforms are unparalleled in itch, and makes quick visual mixing a breeze. That being said, the NS6 has a much better "feel" than the S4, in my opinion, but limits you to the basics of mixing, which has its pro's and con's depending on your personal style. With the S4 you can do anything from basic, essential EQ mixing to complex multi-layered effects. With the NS6 you will be able to do all of your baisc mixes, with some FX, and hacve access to very very responsive platters that feel great (if scratching is your thing I would get the NS6). The S4 however is lighter, which is important if you are taking it to a new club. My vote is the S4, cheaper, and you get traktor, which is way better than itch (except for the waveforms), especially if you want to get creative or use other controllers in the future in combination with your main kit. They are both 4 channel mixers, with touch sensitive platters. S4 has more creative possibilities and FX, and the NS6 has more basic controls, with a better crossfader for scratch DJs. Just my opinion from my own experience... hope that helps! |
| Asha Kravetz 28.08.2011 | I got the NS6 already and i'm not looking back at all... I love it to death... itch just frustrates me sometimes.. |

| Celine Surico 26.08.2011 | Yes, hard to beat the Traktor/S4 integration with any other solutions. |
| Asha Kravetz 26.08.2011 | Probably gonna go the s4 route, just more used to traktor I suppose! Thanks Everyone! |
| Jacquelyn Swiatkowski 26.08.2011 | Yea myd ol mixtrack has had way more problems than my s4 personally.. I would definitely say s4 over ns6 but the ns7 is a nifty piece of gear. Maybe get an X5 and two v7's? |
| Nedra Fresneda 26.08.2011 | Shop smart, don't rush in to get something you might regret later. There isn't really any info on what is your mixing style is, if you already own any gear or if you have a Traktor/Serato preference so it narrows down to what WE would get. That being said: I'm a happy S4 owner. |
| Aleta Hartzler 26.08.2011 | Numark sucks, and they have horrible customer service if it were to break. i sent in my old Numark Mixdeck for warranty replacement.. they said 4 weeks. they've had it for 3 months. i ended up having to send a strongly worded email to the head of their warranty department to get a response (since they don't answer their damned phones) and he replied that he was very sorry and that he authorized for a replacement and they are out of stock blahblahblah, long story short: i had to be an ass (in an acceptable way) to get anything done and its too much of a hassle. they have lost all my business. go with the S4. wtf are these people doing leading you the wrong way D: |
| Jacquelyn Swiatkowski 26.08.2011 | depends on if you like traktor or serato and if you plan on playing in a club the ns6/ns7 are cool but they're too big for most club setups The s4 is only glitchy because people mess with it, I've never had problems with mine. |
| Cristian Carmona 26.08.2011 | NS7 if you can get it,. |
| Veda Zarella 26.08.2011 | I'm pro-Numark, so I vote NS6. I've seen too many community post which describe the S4 as problematic and not the ideal controller. I Own a Mixdexk from Numark and love it, the NS6 should be great! Good luck, let the community know which one you eventually got |
