to buy or not to buy S4
to buy or not to buy S4 Posted on: 10.10.2010 by Freeman Ciezki hey guysi need some advice. i have a vci 100 se and a audio 8 dj soundcard and a cracked version of traktor(using it at home) i was believeing about selling those two and buy myself a s4, what do you believe about that? i could get about maybe 550 euros for both. dont get me wrong i like the vci 100 but somehow something in me says that i need to get the s4 cause then i would have a legal version of traktor 2 and im somehow sure that DJTT (a community that can`t be compared to any other) is going to make an awesome mapping for it later. what would you do :eek: | |

| Freeman Ciezki 12.10.2010 | hell yeah i believe i will order one here. the s4 costs in vienna (austria) about 900 euros and DJTT sells it for 899 dollars. how about that :eek: so if i order one from ranking s how much would the shipping cost? the decision is made i will sell the vci 100. i love it but sometimes u have to let go dont have a wife yet to piss of but maybe i will have one when the s4 arives. that would be a double win who knows life is a mistery |

| Latoria Kavulich 10.10.2010 | I would buy the S4 and not mention that you stole your software the first time |
| Eulah Tamkin 10.10.2010 | I would go with the s4, you're upgrading from a 2-channel mixer to a 4-chan mixer. Like you said, you'll get the latest version of traktor with the purchase of the controller. You're also getting quality knobs like someone stated before, no mapping (but eventually we'll need it). HID Jogs.. there's just so many pluses to the s4, it's ridiculous. for $900 bucks.. its well worth it.. Traktor s4 (Controller) + Traktor s4 (Software) + Audio 4 (Quality sound card) + 1 Hour tutorial = WIN. |

| Freeman Ciezki 10.10.2010 | thats a good advice, the soundcard is awesome but i believe i wont use timecode in the future so you are right about that one. i bought the audio 8 for something like 250 euros so it was cheap(not new, but like new) thanx |
| Julissa Serrone 10.10.2010 | Man that’s a tough one, but I do agree you should have a legit version of Traktor. Why do you have an Audio 8 if your not using timecode. It’s an awesome sound card but I’m guess you don’t use three of the channels when you play. I would advise to stick to your current set up if you plan using Time Code or had Traktor Scratch already, or planned on using an external mixture in the future. If your plan is to have an all in one solution, then yeah I’d probably sell what you have and get a legit version of Traktor with the S4. At the current price listed here of 899.00 that’s gonna be tough to beat by anyone. 4 channel controller, HID jogs, X1 quality knobs, 1:1 mapping, excellent sound card, PLUS the latest Traktor Software. Unless planning on using time code in the future and getting scratch. I would sell. |
