S4 - Is this the Answer To All!
Posted on: 21.03.2011 by Sadie Steager
Hi Guys,

I've sold my BCD3000.

Question Now: Is The S4 the answer to All needs.

I still have a novation Nocturn 25 which Until now have not been used.
Mapping is a evening mare with the software of Nocturn


What should I get as a One stop solution for:

1.) Mixing - (Just solid good easy mixing)
2.) Remixing loops to use as crossover beats sometimes
3.) GOOD Effects - Straight forward effects to spice up a song


Will the S4 be the answer to this all!

Thank you.

PS. I played around with the software but somehow my loops won't beat match to my tracks????

Thank you kindly for your advice!

I'll email you later and maybe we can chat.

Very Surprised that you are on windows 7 and not Mac.

Pity 'bro - got S4, TP1.2.7/X1/Audio2 all set up. Using AsusN61J/Win7. If you ever up in Jozi you are most welcome to try things out.

Value of money and income standards are not as good.

So If I spend money on the S4 setup I would like to have a play around with the software - there aren't shops here were I can spend a day or 2 to play with it.

Anyway making back the bucks I spend on the S4 setup will be like playing 10 gigs for free. When I say gigs, it's full evening weddings and parties.

So, sorry about that!
Where are you Stone? Got the full set-up.

Nice to chat to someone.
Well I am then sold on the S4 and will certainly buy one after our chat.

Thanks guys

23.03.2011		I know some people would disagree there. Right now, it depends on your PC I believe.
