Reply to I have some gear options for me

Hi,

im currently mixing on a Novation 25sl MKII keyboard and VDJ/traktor(for some certain songs). Its working for my parties, but me and my mate want to go further, and this being HIS keyboard i need to get myself some gear.

He's more the creative type, "cans plays guitars", and im better at mixing and doing the DJ thing (loops cues beat juggling that sort)

So i have a few options for me that i can get that cost around the same dollar amount and i would like some advice on what hardware to get.

Numark Mixdeck is a nice options, i know the all in ones are kind of frowned upon, but i believe it would be nice. Retails for $600 ish.

The Traktor S4 when it comes out,
everyone on here knows what this is.

craigslist option
a guy in my town is selling 2 CDJ-400 and a kork Kaoss 202 mixer for $900 bucks. question on this can the CDJ-400 read timecodes from VDJ and traktor? Sync tracks and let me do clubstyle mixing and eventually live performance mixing of say, my buddies guitar , live?

If you want more info on what we plan on doing with our setup live just ask. Thanks
