S4 Vs DDJ-T1

S4 Vs DDJ-T1
Posted on: 03.09.2011 by Holly Dagdagan
Hi there I am considering buying one of these controllers soon, however I have a few questions!

From what I have seen the S4 seems to have more technical issues than the DDJ-T1, is this correct?
Or are these issues on the S4 only related to users of Windows computers?

Which one would you buy?

unless your using DVS(digital vinyl system) and are able to utilize all the awesome effects and loop layering of software I believe cdj's in comparison are fairly limited. Although If you plan on playing out most clubs have cdj's as standard. Personally I'm all for midi controllers myself, move with the times hey

between those 2 controllers the s4 is definately better imo. But I have not played on the ddjt1 so maybe biased. saying that it has come down in price

Completely agree. The T1 I've used felt great and was a highly capable controller but the price was just too much to justify. The S4 has a much higher feature set for the price range and i personally prefer the layout.

Very subjective. In my experience its the skills of the DJ that make the performance no the gear they use! If you don't have the skills it won't matter what you are playing on.

What about those two controllers, or midi controllers in general compared to CDJ's? Which one do you believe is better and why?
