I have had both of these controllers; I first had the DDJ ergo which I used with Traktor. I bought this controller basically because it had pioneer stamped on the side (I know it’s not the best way to pick equipment but I’m a sucker for pioneer equipment).
I think this controller gets a fair bit of stick because of “all the flashing lights” and the “price tag” attached to it. To be fair I can totally understand this, but it was a great piece of kit, and it never let me down…. until some idiot launched a bottle of “Blue WKD” from one side of the club to the other (the other being where I was DJ’ing at.
Anyway……… when purchasing a replacement, I read a lot of reviews and I bought the Traktor Kontrol s2, mainly because it was cheaper than the ergo. I have to say that the Kontrol s2 is also one awesome piece of kit for its size and price.
Steelo is 100% correct in saying that nothing is as tight with Traktor as the s2.
So my advice would be if you are using Traktor, get the s2 or s4
Hope this helps 🙂
