Nothing wrong with Sync but that’s a whole different story.
You are just starting out but at the same time you are trying to choose a controller that already doesn’t meet your requirement.
I would say that’s a bad way to start.
When Numark added the longer tempo faders to their lower price controllers it showed that they had a better understanding than Pioneer of what people needed.
Then again it might just be marketing to get you to buy one of the more expensive models?
The real point is that if you want to ride the fader start with a controller that has a usable fader then move to something more expensive if/when you need to.
Don’t let the Pioneer name make you think it’s getting you something more than the other comparative products.
If you are sold on ReKordbox then you are gonna be stuck with the small fader of having to spend more, which if you can afford it is a good move.
If you are still open to using Serato then take a look at the Mixtrack Platinum.
Either way try to get to a store and check them out.
