    Hi.

    Tip 1: Figure out what software is best for you
    Tip 2: Work out what kind of DJ you are and what kind of workflow you have/want
    Tip 3: Read the “Controller Buyers Guide 2014” to find out what controllers support your software AND your workflow
    Tip 4: Remove all controllers from the shortlist that are outside your budget
    Tip 5: Try to get some hands-on experience (in a store is fine) with your top 2 or 3 choices

    We can not comment on what is the best controller option for two reasons: 1) only you know exactly what you are looking for and no controller is better/worse than another. There are levels of controllers from toys, through entry/beginner level & prosumer to medium and high-end. But within those segments it’s impossible to say which is the BEST.
    2) It’s such a highly personal choice based on your needs (see the tips), that what might be best for you can be totally unsuitable for someone else.

    So, do your homework and if you have any specific questions, tell us what you want to achieve and we can give you a more precise answer.

    Greetinx.

    Just get the s2 and use your smartphone or tablet for an extra controller.

    Why? Since you don’t know what you want you probably don’t know what you can do so the s2 and a smart phone/tablet should keep you plenty busy for a year then you can add or trade out later. Thrift store midi controllers you can find for a few bucks here and there would work too.
