Hi,
If you already learned to mix old skool, cdj’s beatmatching without sync…
I you can do all that than I would defenately go for the Traktor S5
Pioneer ok might be all over the place but now it’s digital era, and that was about time that people
have accepted it. It has more pro ‘s than contra’s, digital dj-ing.
For example, if we don’t have to beatmatch anymore , that gives us so much more space and time to be creative!
By mixing for example with 4 canals.. and rezlly make some tracks extended a la minute and make the transitions
long and the way you like it 100%.
I think, that’s my oppinion, when it comes to digital dj-ing , Traktor is the ‘Pioneer’ of the digital world..
They have the best experiance and they have already faced so many issues that other companies will face in the future.
I have the Kontrol S5 now and I am amazed of what I am capable of with that controller!!!
Beatmatching is so precise that I do not much use even the headphone … (You gotta know your tracks of course)
Also the lay-out! Looks so chique.
ps: no jogwheels, we really do not need or will really use joghweels… on controllers they are not that good, the joghweels…. and the ‘strip’ : When you learn how to use that, you can even beatmatch manually with the strips!
I AM IN LOVE WITH MY TRAKTOR S5!
Hope I could help!
cheers
