    As far as the guide being outdated, it really isn’t.

    If you are wanting to use Traktor, have you thought about the NI controllers? S2 / S4?

    I started on the Mixtrack pro (very similar to number 2) and loved it. Allowed me to try serato and traktor. However, I ffelt I grew out of it fairly soon so moved to an NI S2. Very intuitive, and kind of wish I had started with this.

    No experience with the DDJ T1.

    Are you looking for 4 channels or not?

    the ddj t1 is awesome if you want to practise and finally start using cdjs.the mixtrack pro 2 is more of an amateur dj controller.

    >.> i kinda take a bit of offence in that,the numark mixtrack pro is a controller i’ve use for over a year now and done gigs with.Granted it is a controller that doesn’t feel as much like CDJs and it does give you the feeling like you’ve grown out of it,but once you realize that today you don’t really ever grow out of gear and that with midi mapping you can go wild with any controller,it does let you do some impresive stuffz.

    i am not saying by any means that the mixtrack pro 2 is a bad controller, it can be used professianally and with sucess but is was not design like that. it was made to introduce people to djing,on the other hand the t1 treats you like a pro. also the sound quality is really good.
    now back to the topic
    cyy i recommend the ergo it is cheaper than the t1 but has that cdj layout for a lower price and actually a decent soundcard that can be used even for big club gigs

    the s4 is amazing and more mobile gig friendly. in my country it is 200 euros more expensive than the t1.personally i got the t1 and the upgraded to the pro version only 89 euros.i use the club equipment so i just test my ideas in home with my controller.
    the s4 however is more capable than the t1 but don’t think you will be confortable with cdjs and a mixer.
    both the t1 and the s4 are plastic
    if you want the best quality and 4 decks check out the reloop terminal mix 4 and the numark 4trak
    also choose the software you prefer

    I think you cannot go wrong with the 4Trak, it is a very solid controller.
