Controller help please :-)) Posted on: 28.10.2012 by Francisco Verre After taking a 7 year break from djing I'm after getting back into it, A lots changed in the time I've been away :-)) I sold my cdj1000 mk3's and djm600 , but kept my sl1210's , as I've still got 1000's of my old vinyl I started djing in 1990 I've been a resident dj at a few clubs during the 90's My problem is space (lack of :-)) So the controller looks my best bet My mixing will be mainly beat mixing with hopefully using efx , loops etc Been looking at the ddj-sx , BUT Open to suggestions on hardware and software I'm new to digital laptop djing Any help much appreciated Many thanks Mark :-)) | |

| Erich Vallabhaneni 31.10.2012 | If you're feeling Traktor the S4 will do you justice, plus you can use it as a mixer for your 1200's if you still mix internally. |
| Tania Somppi 30.10.2012 | A&H Xone 4d and TSP certified device upgrade kit. Loads of midi to map in Traktor, built in quality audio interface with timecode support, you can spin your vinyl without switching the computer on ..... The jogs are pants tho lol so I'll also say DNX1600 + 2 DNSC2000 s + TSP cert upgrade kit ..... for the same reasons |
| Harley Zitka 30.10.2012 | Traktor Kontrol S4 all the way. |
| Francisco Verre 30.10.2012 | thanks ,but unfortunately i would still like my controller to resemble a set of decks/mixer cheers |
| Ada Matzkin 29.10.2012 | if you choose traktor and if you dont just have to have jog wheels to feel like a DJ, i strongly recommend the akai APC40.... its cheap, its solid, and it has enough real estate to support all in one functionality. |
| Francisco Verre 29.10.2012 | thanks for the input ill check them out also looked at serato & traktor and tbh prefer the layout in traktor , but again not used either yet, so maybe i just need to try them both cheers mark :-)) |
| Julissa Serrone 28.10.2012 | If you enjoy playing on 1200's, you'll get better platter response (for the most part) from Serato controllers - NS6, NS7, VCI-300/380 and I'd assume the DDJ-SX is along the same lines. It really comes down to you how you prefer to play and what features are most important to you. I prefer Serato's workflow over Traktors, while other folks prefer extensive midi mapping and customization that Traktor offers. |
