    Its something I am going to have to look into, Im never going to know how good/bad Serato is until I try it myself.  I’ve seen it in action and in comparison to Traktor at first glance it does look very basic and less complex.

    I will go with the S2 for now as I got such a good deal on it, though I am still very much interested in the DDJ SR and will look at the reviews once its out! if I had the room id be after the DDJ SX! but again I wouldnt use the extra channels.

    Is the beatgridding process any easier in Serato?

    Thanks for your input Terry, I managed to get myself a cheap Traktor S2 Mk2 off ebay brand new! so will give it ago and see how I get on although I still really fancy the DDJ SR its just the thought of moving to new software (Serato) as I am really only getting the hang off Traktor after the last 8 months!

    I assume if I do move to Serato id have to re beat grid my whole music collection?

    I posted in another thread about the DDJ-T1 as I can get a new one for £460.00, actually used a friends one on Sat night and loved it! im thinking of buying this to start and if something better comes along I can upgrade.

    Im still very surprised that no 3rd party such as Pioneer, Numark etc unveiled any new Traktor controller! I still think a DDJ-TX may come at some point.

    To play records through you can also use the above mentioned plus the Digital Jockey 3 and the Pioneer DDJ-SX.

    Thanks for that, yeah just wanted to know what four channel controllers where available so I could use 2 of them as inputs for my turntables so I can mix mp3’s and vinyl together.

The sync between my mac and T1 is flawless and love the layout. Loading and updating the software was simple and done in about 15 minutes. I can’t find anything I don’t quite like.

    I’ve heard some people say that it’s too big and heavy, but I disagree. I love the spacing and distance between buttons and solid feel of the unit. I have large hands and big fingers, so this unit works great because I’m not hitting knobs and buttons because they are packed together too closely. My opinion is that if a controller looks and feels like a toy…it’s just that. So if you can invest into it, I think it’s totally worth it.

    Cheers Chris

    Think this is definitely the controller Im going to begin with, if it was RRP £599 I wouldnt but at £459.99 I think its a great deal and even if I didnt like it im sure I could sell it for £400 and not lose much.

However, I did get mine for $730 USD from amazon brand new. Way better deal than from Pioneer. But worth it at that point!!!

    Doing the currency converting id be paying the same price, which I think is good for a pioneer 4 channel mixer brand new. Im interested to know how your finding it?

    Thanks for th

    I would rather look into Traktor controllers like the S4 or the Digital Jockey 3 ME if you want to stay with Traktor.

    Thanks for that, im undecided I really liked the S4 but im not prepared to pay £699 for it when the pioneer is almost £250 cheaper! now the Digital Jockey 3 I havent really looked it but will look into it now.
