S4 or X1 ?
S4 or X1 ? Posted on: 16.02.2011 by Michaele Mehn Hey guys,i feel like moving forward and sell my beloved VCI-100. I would prefer a set up that cost less than 1000$. I was believe of buying a s4 or two x1's and a behringer DDM4000 mixer. The s4 would be around 950$ with shipping and the other set up 1000$. I am wondering 1. what do you believe about that 2. what soundcard do i need with the two x1 and DDM4000 mixer. Does it work with my DJ i/o? Thanks a lot | |

| Michaele Mehn 16.02.2011 | thanks for the feedback! ATM, i am playing only at friends partys and some lil gig, going from 40 to 200 peoples. So there is no mixer where i play, as i don't play in clubs yet (i'm 16). |
| Mellisa Calenda 16.02.2011 | The newer versions of the ddm4000 like mine don't have the bright blue leds, they are green and not bad at all. |

| Leeanna Ayla 16.02.2011 | The argument used to be that the S4 came with smokin hot software, but that's not so much the case now. I've played with a DDM400 just a little bit in stores and I will say that I feel like the S4 is a better build quality. |
| Larhonda Veuleman 16.02.2011 | It depends on what you want to achieve. 2 X1s + an Audio 10/8 is very lightweight and portable, but you are reliant on installation mixers. The S4 is bigger and less portable, but it's an all-in-one unit. What sort of parties will you be playing? |
| Mellisa Calenda 16.02.2011 | I have the x1 set up your taking about and got everything used 2 Kontrol x1 ($320) DDM4000 ($250) Audio 8 ($180) Total: $750 I love my set up, its pretty damn portable (especially if you don't have to bring your own mixer) and its far cheaper then a new s4. So that's my 2 cents anyways. Edit: forgot to mention you also get full control over all 4 decks and effects banks (and have more then enough controls for the sample decks when traktor 2 comes out) which is not something you get with the s4. |
