    I did a google search and march is the end of their winter so fingers crossed its here before June, want to get this up and running so I can mix and record!

    Update – Numark has got back to me but sadly can’t shed any light on this, We are waiting for Serato to announce something I emailed them yesterday so its just a waiting game now for their response.

    BIG UPDATE – Serato have anounced it will be supporting the N4 in the summer, and I have now got the option to trade my N4 in for either a mc3000 or a TM2/4.. I think the TM2 will be a better option as it has an aux input so can still get a cdj off it (is this correct) and its Serato ready so my software I have purchased will work straight away! TM4 is more expensive and I can’t justify wanting 4 channels for a long while.. The MC3000 is another option and it uses VDJ and traktor so a chance to try traktor or go back to VDJ.. What does anyone think?

    I need a last minute bit of advice. I haven’t as of yet ordered the denon mc3000 which is my current best choice option but before I take the plunge is there anything else in the traktor controller line a bit better for a bit more? I paid almost £300 for the n4 I have traded it back in so maybe £100-£150 on top is the most I will spend so what could I get with that? Traktor controllers of course but if they work with other softwares that would be a huge bonus!

    Cheers I’ve checked the s2 out its lacking on the build quality side of things, of which the denon seems better for me but tbh I may just get the denon, master traktor and then maybe add a maschine or x1/f1 to the setup.. Except the s2 is there anything else in the £400 budget?

    Well if you go Traktor rather than Serato then maybe the Reloop Jockey 3 Remix.
    It has some wicked good mappings to get you started… and built quality with Reloop controllers is really good.

    I saw it but the reloop jockey 3 remix is relatively new so its a bomb, almost £500 in places. I will look around in more places though as it does look a beast!

    what about a traktor z2 with a couple of x1’s?

    sounds fun to me!!

    I think the mc3k is my preferred choice and maybe an f1/x1 or maschine added to the setup in the near future!

    if the jockey remix is out of your budget, you could look at its previous incarnation the jockey 3 me (master edition). same build quality but without the cool fx mapping. under £450 new in the uk or maybe you could find one used for cheaper.

    I (briefly) had the Jockey 3 ME and it was really solid build and a nice feel to it. I got rid of it cos I was sick of messing around trying to update the firmware which didn’t seem to be playing ball.

    If you don’t need jog wheels, a couple of X1’s or Xone K2’s are also a choice. Reloop Contour as well if you want a jog wheel.
