    Hi Rory
    Thanks for your response
    Yes the s4mk2 is the other controller I am thinking of.
    My reason for thinking of the denon mc6000mk2 is that in the future I am looking into going mobile DJ

    But I really like traktor but have reservations about NI equipment freeze issues. Are these still an issue?

    I rarely gig out now and mainly do studio mixes and mixes for broadcast so I’m not going to be using lappy

    I am running 64bit w7 8gb ram Intel xeon 4x 2.5 ghz so my PC is plenty powerful enough ( or is it )
    .I think for now as I know traktor and don’t need a club set up at home a 4 channel controller is ideal and if you say NI is best fit for NI I will take that on board .
    Are NI moving away from jog wheels all together now want with the s5 not having them ?

    Also do you know that the s4 is able to midi sync with maschine? And it’s software as I would love to try that out and get into that too.

    Sorry about the bombardment of questions .
    Just I am old skool and just come from vinyl cdjs etc and know little or nothing about controllers .

    As I mentioned in my first post I have just recently sold my entire kit except my kontrol f1 which I have a DJ endo 4 deck control mapping to keep me something to play with for now.

    Many thanks and regards

    Hello all on this forum
    First I will introduce myself
    My name is Nathan and I am not a newbie DJ but I am new to the controller World.
    I am 37 and been djing with vinyl and cdjs since 1998.I started out playing hard trance and hardcore Techno but now play mainly Techno and good electronica and house. I have a massive mp3 collection of all genres but still am a Techno purist.

    I have I’d say novice level of knowledge of DJ software and have been using traktor on & off for about a year. I can clearly see the huge potential of traktor with its remix decks , stems and possible machine integration.

    I have a new family addition coming in December so I have sold all of my DJ gear and vinyl ( collecting dust sadly)
    What I sold
    Pioneer djm 850k. Technics 1210 mk3d x2 denon sc2900s x2. 7000+vinyls
    Very sad I know but new baby coming and we need the space and the extra cash .

    I have kept my traktor kontrol f1 and this is why I have come here for help.

    The controller World is a minefield to me and I don’t know where to start. .

    I am looking at
    Denon mc6000mk2.
    Reasons for . Build quality. 4 channel stand alone mixer. Decent looking jog wheels and it looks layer out very well.

    How well does it map to traktor?

    I don’t need loads of beat and sample pads just a decent unit with 4 channel that can plug anything into
    Also I want to add another f1 or maybe a traktor d2

    I want to rebuild my DJ set up over time so a great start out controller is a must.

    Also looking at s4 mk2
    Read lots of issues with freezing and only has 2 inputs and not as good build quality

    Have in mind the s5 & s8 but no jog wheels is putting me off a little

    High build quality is a must fur me too.

    My budget is up to £450 . £500 at a push.

    I want to stick with traktor 2.9 as I want to make the most out of remix decks and stems and really am going to add another f1 or a d2 and in the future 2 small format cdjs (pio 350/400)

    Once i am back up and running and settled in with my new setup and learnt stems and remix decks and traktor I want to add in maschine to add some more live aspect to my mixes.

    How easily can maschine be added into traktor. ?

    Many kind regards and many thanks

    Any help will go a long way
    And if I am missing something like a controller that you would highly recommend then I would love to hear about it
