If I was in the market, I'd call ZZsounds, get them to price match and put it on the payment plan.

I don't believe 2+2 is their next move (that is what the z2 is after all). I wouldn't be surprised if they updated the X1 with color leds (useful to indicate cue type). It's not that it NEEDS it, just a cool and relatively simple addition.

Regarding a Z4 or whatever it's called, 4 fully switchable decks takes my vote.

PS: would love to see NI switch to nutted knobs.

I'd love to see a 4 ch NI mixer. How do you believe they'd do it? 4 track decks? 2 track decks and2 remix decks? 4 fully switchable channels? How many cue/hot cue buttons?

This new price drop on the Z2 is defo a spanner in the works

RGAS argh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I say go BIG or RGAS is just gonna rear its ugly head again.

I drooled over the DB4 for 3 months straight before purchasing it. I figured (or tricked myself into believeing) that if I bought something other then the DB4 I'd be taking a loss every time I sell the mixer I purchased to sooth the RGAS. Then eventually end up with the DB4 in the end.

I haven't had a hint of RGAS since then... at least not for a mixer anyways...

Edit: On-topic - I believe NI is gonna drop some type of new kit, question is what though.

I can't believe they are selling at that price...with a guitar center code can I get another 15% off? I mean I wasn't really in the market but that is just absurd...$510 for something with that much utility...might have to pull out of the savings for it.

I can justify taking a hit and selling my S4 for like $400 or $450 with the price that low.

Now: DJM850 + Zomo MC1000 + Dicers!?!?

That is a KILLER set-up.

If the Z2 was a little wider (Z4, maybe?), then it'd literally be the PERFECT combination. As it stands, it'd still be pretty epic though.
There's no denying - pretty much ANY mixer (2 or 4 channels) is VASTLY improved (and VASTLY is an under-statement!) by adding a Zomo MC-1000 to it...

I`d consider trying Traktor again if a Z4 mixer came out. Not sure how long I can wait for serato to merge SSL & SDJ for turntable/controller integration.

It's pretty much why I never buy new or market price. If I buy used, I can always recover a good chunk of my money unless I'm keeping it for several generations.

That said, as several people have said, NI has been known to do summer sales. I wouldn't get my hopes up too much for a new controller.

Remember back in Oct 2011 when the S2 came out it was $600 then NI marked it down to $400 in Feb 2012 for a couple of months. NI then raised the price back up to $500 and that is where it has been since. Seems to me they drop the price on new gear after it has been out for a few months. I waited on the S2 and got one for $400 and I am glad I waited on the Z2. I just ordered one and it should be here this week. I cannot wait to break out my X1 and start using the Z2 and X1 together, may have to add a turntable soon as well.

NI always does summer sales of something, it's pretty classic.
