Buy S4 now or wait (& pay reg price)
Buy S4 now or wait (& pay reg price) Posted on: 15.08.2013 by Shalon Absalon Getting back into DJing after being years off from vinyl. Looking into a controller so I can focus on mixing rather than the scratching I used to do. Need an all-in-one due to space issues and just for home use.I am strongly interested in the S4 since I want to use Traktor. Should I buy now with the $599 price drop? Is this a good price? I'm worried I will kick myself IF a new one comes out but I'm not sure if I can push myself to pay $899 reg price. I also have an Ecler Hak 380 that I may sell and use those for studio monitors (krk rockit 5s or 6). I need speakers. That's only if I can sell the mixer. I have TMA-1s that I can use for the time being or just buy cheap computer speakers. Any input is appreciated. | |

| Lincoln Ehlen 10.09.2013 | Wait for BPM. Looking at their schedule for the event and traktor has their own set time in the even where they are 'revealing a product that will change traktor'. I can almost guarantee its the new S4. |
| Libbie Orion 30.08.2013 | honeslty i would wait til to holidays i should have but i got mine early and almost a week later it went on sale hahaha hold out man. you can still get it |
| Alecia Soulliere 30.08.2013 | So I will throw in my 2 cents considering I was in the same exact position you are in now. I used to scratch DJ a lot back in the day and then recently just got back interested in mixing and creating sets. I had to decide between time code or a controller and I picked the controller based on the fact that they are a lot more felxible for controlling different effects and transport controls than a turntable and without having to buy a $900 mixer. So I bought a mixtrack pro. It really helped me to understand that I really wanted to get into this. I then quickly sold it and bought an S4 once the price drop happened. I can tell you from experience that I should have just bought it to begin with. I also believe its an incredible deal given that you are getting a high end controller with an excellent sound card for only 6 chips. I thought about "what if NI comes out with a new S4 soon..." but honestly I cant see it doing too much more than the S4 already does, and to be honest this is more than enough to fit my needs as a DJ given that even big name professionals use it. |
