Numark 4TRAK vs. NS6
Posted on: 01.03.2012 by Cathern American
I'm looking to get a new controller and am tossed between these two. But if I'm not mistaken aren't they both basically the same thing besides the NS6 runs Serato Itch and the 4TRAK runs Traktor? Is one better then the other? And also does the 4TRAK come with Traktor or do you have to purchase it separately?

Yeah the 4TRAK comes with a lighter version of TRAKTOR. (4TRAK Edition). As I have understood it is a version with fewer options (probably less FX) then the Traktor 2.

On the surface of the unit there are some changes - some button that were used in itch (for FX in itch) are now "assignable" button that you can use for whatever you want. They have added the FX console on top of the 4TRAK that controls filters and FX, so the assignable knobs are available for other stuff. (I believe I will use them for FX 3 and 4 in the TRAKTOR 2 software).

This review I posted will give you an overview of the unit.

serato itch's only purpose when the ns6 was introduced was a cdj and mixer replacement/alternative, So if you just want to play tunes that's the way to go until reports start flowing about the jog intigration with traktor... If you want to use/destroy tracks with effects the 4trak is the way to go. but maybe believe of it in terms of music genre....

4trak = dubstep, techno, figdet, minimal, psytrance
ns6 = dnb, electro. house, breaks, tech house, trance, hip hop/rnb
