Stanton SCS.1 vs NI Kontrol S4
Posted on: 26.10.2010 by Yoshiko Jameyson
I will buy a setup to use with Traktor Pro. Which controller you believe is better, without considering the price, the Stanton SCS.1 (I would buy two SCS.1D plus one SCS.1M) or the NI Kontrol S4?

Alright, so consider the SCS.3 instead of the SCS.1. If I got the hole SCS.3 package (SCS.3M + 2x SCS.3D) I will spend U$ 600; the S4 is U$ 900. Considering I will have to buy an audio card for the SCS.3 (not sure if the mixer has an audio interface inside), for example the audio 4 dj for more U$ 200 they will be at almost the same price.
What you believe would be better between this two?

Pretty difficult to compare the two. 3d vs s4.. Everyones gonna tell
You to get the s4.. Depends on ur uses too.. The s4 has actual knobs while
The 3d has all touch strips.. And the 1d has way larger platters for vinyl emulation..
3d: most customization
1d: vinyl plus rotary encoders and cues
S4: new traktor plus sampler section

They are both going to be great. One majour difference is the size of the platters on each as Stanton's, I believe, are quite larger. Also, since the S4 has not been released yet, it is impossible to get near the number of reviews of the product compared to stanton's, which I believe won the best DJ controller at the Ibiza Tech Awards 2 weeks ago.

I see... but this one from Stanton looks to have a very good build quality... it's interesting that they insisted to highlight this on the product's description. And I read a lot of reviews from people with positive feedback from this Stanton new controllers, SCS.1 and SCS.3.

Go with the S4, Stanton ain't particularly known for their amazing build quality and long lasting products... except for a few TT and needles
