I reaaly like my s4 Posted on: 04.03.2011 by Magda Lizza After getting the S4 last week and setting it up om my MBP I started practicing and getting to know it and my opinion on this baby is....WOW what a nice piece of art...I'm sorry for probably sound a little rookie, but it impressed me for real... I don't have much time to practice because I finish my day job at 7:00 pm every weekday and I have to play with my children and wify, but when I get the chance to go upstairs and play with the S4 I enjoy every minute of it.. My own story...thanks for listening guys..

Leeanna Ayla 20.03.2011	Originally Posted by scamo It's funny my son and I share pretty much the same taste in music and why we've decided to go with mixing music as a hobby. A wide, eclectic taste in music is one of the things I'm most proud to have taught my 15 year old son.
Lin Danek 20.03.2011	Originally Posted by scamo Maybe we've come up with a new name for Digital/ Controller DJs. Club pilots. I believe I will actually use this nomenclature too, if I ever get far enough to be one. Right now I am a noob to the whole scene, but learning fast. My S4 will be coming soon too. Yippee! It is also cool to see people share their trade knowledge like Ean. I want to do this too, not so much to share stuff, but more to document our voyage in the DJ world and how far (or how short a trip) we get. scamo good luck Scamo - I'm turning 50 this year - if only I'd got my S4 some years back. You're in for QUITE a ride
Lin Danek 19.03.2011	Originally Posted by scamo You know, it is really funny you make the comparison, because the modern fighter jet is "fly by wire" and a DJ controller is exactly the same thing. It is a hardware extension of the computer/ software and gives the person using it much better control over that computer/ software. If you believe of a club as a fighter jet, then the controller IS the cockpit. The difference isn't really that much. A fighter jet takes off, flies, shoots, lands. A club, takes off, parties and "flies", then closes (lands). Great comparison. I'd like to be a club pilot someday! LOL! scamo Never thought of the 'Fly By Wire' aspect - I like your analogy even more.
Lin Danek 19.03.2011	Originally Posted by WISEGUY I'm glad I made this thread an enjoyable thread...Looks like everyone that has a S4 went thru the same I been and going thru...good for everybody here!!! I know I will never come to close to developing the kind of Fine Motor Skills that Ean has, but what I DO know is that the tactile experience of the S4 is unique. Never been a big 'gamer' (now I wish I was), but the ergonomics of this ma(s)chine are remarkable. I wonder if it's urban legend that the USAF talent scout for pilots in games arcades, and if so, maybe they shoud be looking at controllerists!

Rey Holubar 20.03.2011	Hehe, Thanks!. We aren't too far apart. I'm 45 and am actually starting this venture with my son, who is 19, as a father son hobby. It's funny my son and I share pretty much the same taste in music and why we've decided to go with mixing music as a hobby. It should be interesting. scamo

Random X 17.03.2011	that's what I believe too.
Mariano Godina 17.03.2011	It really has injected so much fun and creativity back into my dj'ing!
Karolis Petrauskas 16.03.2011	^^^agreed^^^ Once you really get a feel for it and mix for a few hours, you'll know she's a beast!
Random X 16.03.2011	@JonathonBlake: Just wait until you get the hang of it!
Rey Holubar 17.03.2011	I want one too. scamo

Random X 15.03.2011	Just watch them drool once they see what an S4 can do in real life.
Lucrecia Diloreto 14.03.2011	I just found this place, and decided to register after i read this thread. I just purchased an S4 yesterday, hopefully i get it delivered soon! I'm really glad to see this kinds of reactions to the controller, makes me know that i more than likely made a wise choice in purchasing this over any other controller. I don't have much money, so i am very careful when i make a purchase like this. Some people i know tell me i made a bad choice in getting a controller over a traditional turntable/mixer set...but after all the research i have done, it seems that you can pretty much do anything that people on turntables can do for like thousands of dollars less.. Anyways, i look forward to start using the S4 alongside the new Traktor 2.0 coming soon! =D
Reginia Tramble 14.03.2011	Nice, im in the same boat but going through post secondary school.
Random X 13.03.2011	LoLz!
Lin Danek 12.03.2011	*what I just bought* is going to bing me such happiness**
Mariano Godina 12.03.2011	Ah yes lol

Mariano Godina 12.03.2011	huh? lol an 'r'?
Random X 12.03.2011	Probably forgot an 'r' somewhere Tom?
Mariano Godina 12.03.2011	I believe I said this before, but for me personally the S4 has bought so much fun and creativeness back to my DJ'ing. I love it!
Roy Houn 11.03.2011	Originally Posted by WISEGUY After getting the S4 last week and setting it up om my MBP I started practicing and getting to know it and my opinion on this baby is....WOW what a nice piece of art...I'm sorry for probably sound a little rookie, but it impressed me for real...

My own story...thanks for listening guys.. Exactly the same here, i dont get to go in to the attic that much biut now ive got my s4 when i do go up there im going to enjoy playing on that baby so much got mine yesterday and im already in love with it amazing piece of kit aint they
Lin Danek 11.03.2011	My S4 is in South Africa!
Lin Danek 06.03.2011	MBP = Mac Book Pro.

My own story...thanks for listening guys.. Possibly even a more rookie question, but what is an MBP? My son and I will also be getting a Traktor S4 and want to start fiddling around mixing music together. So, for those fathers out there, you can also get your sons and daughters interested in music and mixing/ djing as a father/son/daughter hobby too. Why not? Other than the kids are a bit too young, but how young is too young? scamo
Karolis Petrauskas 06.03.2011	Originally Posted by Jester.NZ its either s4, or decent analog ( have a djm600/700 but they are the communal mixers) and add something like the reloop contour to the mix as when i mix with the boys, its almost impossible to mix into them without wheels (unless its house, as a 10 year old can mix that whistle ) If you come from vinyl you'll love the s4, if from cdjs then the s4 is a win.
Karolis Petrauskas 06.03.2011	Originally Posted by Coldfuzion My s4 is my baby . I love it! Never gonna sell it, or get rid of it, ever. I may upgrade years down the line, but I will keep my S4 forever. I feel the same way although never say never. But I can always see my s4 as my centerpiece in the house. I may change what I play out with but its really everything I need for traktor. One thing I'd love is the ability to delete grid and drop grid from the s4. I believe that should all be possible as soon as 2.0 comes out (I have no info just an opinion)
