Reply to NI S4 - A&H Xone 4D Comparison.

Decided to take the plunge and order a Kontrol S4. Have a big gig coming up and there is definately no room in the booth for the 4D.... so imagine my thoughts when I open the S4 - it's even bigger!

It is obviously a lot lighter and more portable, but still has a bigger base size which I was unsure about, should have looked it up though.

I've only used it for about 20 minutes but very impressed. In my opinion the faders and knobs have a better feel to them than the 4D, and all and all it feels like a much better controller to use. 4D has it's place though, but Traktor and S4 together is ideal. Really impressed with the quality of it.

Think I'm going to sell my Audio 4 and Xone 1D now as I have no need for them. Here's a few pics for size comparison after I unboxed it, and also my new DJ cabinet I had custom built for me. It's wrapped in white vinyl with matt oak shelves inside. It was built to have my 15" MBP, 2 CDJ 400's and 4D on it, and they fit perfectly.
