Chasidy Heckenbach 21.08.2011	Originally Posted by djrazg well i know the s4 is "better" because of the very accurate and sensitive jog, unlike the shitty pioneer jog ... but i don't believe i'd ever have to use the jog thanks to the sync button depending on how good your beatgrids are you'll still often want to push tracks forwards or backwards - tho any jog or even a button can do that so the s4 is technically "better" , but the T1 is wayyy more impressive and bigger , so for non DJs the S4 looks veryy unprofessional and small ... pretty sure this is the first time i have ever seen someone say the S4 is too small the only thing that i can see of the T1 over the S4 is the standard pioneer layout - that would mean moving to using cdj's in a club should be easier. but u already said you wouldnt want to use jogs for synching so thats probably not an option anyway. have you read the scratchworx review on the T1? it makes a lot of comparisons and pros and cons between the S4 and T1 http://skratchworx.com/reviews/ddj_t1.php

Will you be using sample decks? (If this has already been brought up, sorry. I can't be arsed to read back).
Glennis Cartin 21.08.2011	Originally Posted by jezalenko In my opinion, it depends on a few things. What software do you prefer? If you're at home on Traktor, then the S4 is the way to go, but if you're willing to try Itch, make sure you've tried both softwares when you checked out the hardware. Also, will you be using the controller for mobile gigs? If so, I might recommend the NS6, as it has XLR outputs, and works as a mixer without the computer connected - both of which is great for that kinda stuff. (But FEP is right. The S4 jogwheels are waaaay better then the NS6's) Trickey one hey? The hell? Where did I get NS6 from?! Think I need to ease back on the medication.... Then it's S4 all the way mate!

Tatum Ansaldo 20.08.2011	take the S4. imo. T1 is more expensive, has fewer features and personally I hate the jogwheels.
robin loo 20.08.2011	"take the s4" just kidding.. it really comes down to personal preference.. if you tried both units in a store and still cant make a desicion you have to try harder.. no one on the web can give you any advantages or disadvantages of one or the other which you couldnt find out by yourself..
