@Terry_42 Very detailed response terry! Thanks! Hope you don’t mind if my responses are shorter^^

As mentioned before I won’t buy that gear. The guy who offered the gear, hasn’t responded to all my question and it’s obviously not possible to test the gear before. Also you made me thinking about those Denon Controller 😀

Spoke to a co-worker who’s Djing since ’91, he said, that I should avoid pioneer and rekordbox at all and advised the Numark NS7 II/III Controller if I remember correctly. What do you think about this one?
I don’t mind now which Software is used, so if you have some more advices, I’ll take them 🙂

@DJ Marnik If I buy CDJ’s it will be Nexus2, but naaaaa too expensive 😀

Sorry for not being clear enough about what I want or need.
Well obviously I want the Nexus2 Setup 😀 But thats far away from my budget, so it will stay as dream for the next few years. (But what is a life without dreams^^)

So for a standalone setup I’m totally fine with two channels, but I want to have the option to upgrade it to a four channel setup without buying everything new. Just like adding two CDJ’s to a current setup.

For a controller setup I want a four channel controller. With only two channels I could nearly stick to my existing gear.

As mentioned before traktor and rekordbox is fine as a software. Just looked a bit closer to serato, and I have to say it looks close to rekordbox. But I don’t need a third or fourth software to learn, even if it’s not “new”.
As a software developer it’s in my nature to look at the design and appearance of the controller and software, if it doesn’t look or feel good in my eyes I don’t want it. (Hope this is a bit understandable)

DDJ-RZ is awesome and I would say it is nearly exactly what I was looking for a controller. Sadly it’s 1000€ more than I can afford right now. RX is nearly the same as the RZ, but as said before I’m very special about the look and feel of such things and I know I wouldn’t be satisfied with the RX. Smaller Jogwheels, Knobs missing the white circle at the bottom, no oscillator and this extra fader for samplers to only mention a few. (Yeah I know I’m very special with this sorry:/)

The S2 was or better is a nice beginner controller, but the more I play and learn, I recognise that NI Controllers are not my kind of style. For example those remix decks, I never get used to them. They work in my eyes differently like the sampler on RX/RZ.

Yeah I’ve seen enough DJ’s who are bringing a laptop with them, but most of them are still playing on a standalone CDJ setup. A few month ago I read here that you mostly play on standalone gear in clubs and that’s “the thing” everyone does. So don’t know why now there is a complete turnaround.
I can confirm that it’s nicer, better and easier to look at your gear than turning your head to have a look on your laptop for most of the time, so I’d prefer standalone over controllers.

Hope you now can understand a bit better, what I want.

EDIT: The offer I found is something like scam. You can’t try the gear, because the guy moved to another country and his mail was let’s say not easy to read and understand…
