That sounds fair.
Well the Terminal Mix was their latest product, but I do not know what they have in the pipe.
The S2 and S4 are a lot older (not that they are a lot worse…), I do not think that there will be so great revolutionary things in the next year, but maybe a steady evolution… no “must have” things, just more shiny and stuff.
Well it is mainly geared towards Serato and the upcomming Serato DJ.
However I have used it with Traktor and the mapping is really good and I like this one. If I would use Traktor I would still have stayed with the Controller.
I currently use it with VDJ Pro, which also works well, but most likely will end up using it with Serato, which I prefer.
So actually the TM4 works with all 3 Softwares really good, just depends what you like most and Traktor does not come with it out of the box.
If you prefer tightest effect integration and button per button mapping in Traktor and standalone mixer functionality, I would go with the DJ3.
If you prefer larger jogwheels, custom mapping, real 4 channels and more buttons combined with a better pitch fader, then go for the TM4.
Both get the job done, but those are the main selling features for either unit. (ok plus the DJ3 has more shiny lights…)
If you tend towards the DJ3 go for it, it is not that much older and resale values for both are quite good atm.
Be sure that it has the latest firmware installed, as this fixes all joghweel issues the DJ3 had before…
I have had a bad experience buying second hand in the past so i tend to stay away from it now. (not trying to worry you more here) but i quite like to buy from thomann.de or musicstore.com technically there the same but some have better offers than the other. they both offer B stock items for around 5 – 10% of the original price and they still come with the 3 year warranty. Also if your not happy with the item you can send it back within 30 days for a full refund or exchange.
