Hi Karlton,

I can see the dilemma as these are both quality bits of kit. If you prize portability and mobile DJ-ready functionality then get the MC6000. It was clearly constructed with those qualities in mind and runs natively with Serato. The SX2 is bigger – but not awkwardly big in my view – and less likely to fit in already cramped booths. My first controller was the younger brother of the MC6000 mk2 – an MC3000 – and I kept it for its massive functionality, good integration with Traktor, and its modest footprint. I still use it regularly for practise sessions. I do also own an SX2.

I can’t comment on the VDJ aspect but can vouch for the quality of both controllers. Good luck with your choice! Also, if you need some more synonyms for puns on age/antique then look here:

Hi Sean,

I bought an SX2 last year and haven’t looked back, but I almost caved in and went for the S4 as it’s a great bit of kit too. If you sure are that:

1. You want to be solely in the Traktor ecosystem for the foreseeable future
2. You want something that’s very portable for taking to gigs

…then get the S4. The software/hardware integration doesn’t get any better for Traktor after all.

Get the SX2 if:

1. You don’t need something smaller
2. You want the flexibility of being able to use Serato, Pionner Rekordbox DJ AND Traktor all in the same controller

I have only used the S4 in a music store and had a good play. If I could own both then I would.

Good luck with your final choice but do think carefully which direction you go in.
