Yea i know exactly what you mean. First of all though im not really jumping to the gun because i forgot to mention that i started with a pair of cheap Numark NDX 400 CD Players. Like they are ok players and all but tbh the features that that have barley work. So i do come from a background of starting with the cheapest and working up. The S2 is my second step forward and i liked it alot since i could actually use everything to my advantage but its just to easy. Also i have tried to cover things but ya know it just doesn’t feel the same. Thanks for the response though!

All the CDJ really gives you is the bpm and a small waveform while traktor gives you a small and very large waveform, bpm, key, and a little indication bar that tells you if the beats are in sync or not. So traktor pretty much ruins it for yo while a cdj simply gives you the minimal information you need.

Practice off everyone else’s because most clubs usually already have CDJs that you’re able to use.

Mainly i am just wanting to own them since i am mainly a bedroom DJ. I wouldn’t purchase them just to practise for clubs since i am only 14 but i just simply enjoy using them.

I have thought about that before its just that i would not enjoy using them. They just seem like such a knockoff brand. Im not wanting CDJs for there features or anything just mainly the feel and enjoyment of using them.
