overit Posted November 27, 2012 Posted November 27, 2012 Getting one of these Traktor S2 controllers from my sponsors but I need to demo it for them first.I can't find a thread on it from using search. Can anyone link me to any existing info?OR:Who has one, who has opinions on it, what are it's good features, what sux?Please no comparisons between this and cdjs or vinyl. I only need to know how this compares to other controllers and if there are any dopeness effects/tips/tricks anyone wants to share.Cheers all. Quote
Mitch Posted November 27, 2012 Posted November 27, 2012 Think there is a thread somewhere Also street has one Quote
street Posted November 27, 2012 Posted November 27, 2012 Best features for me is the jog wheel, feels so natural and I love the response of it. The feel of the buttons and faders also are really nice, except the faders don't click and lock in to place at 0.00% like they do on the pioneer controllers. I also don't like the gain knobs of the individual channels is endless (don't know the proper term for this, they just keep turning I mean), but apart from that it is really good, compact and the layout is awesome.

overit Posted November 28, 2012 Author Posted November 28, 2012 Nice one gents. Endless gains? I know exactly what you mean and agree they are a pain in the arse. Any fav fx on traktor 2 if that is what you use? Quote
Kodiak Posted November 28, 2012 Posted November 28, 2012 S4 minus sample decks. Everything else is identical. Most newer people (who controllers are mostly aimed at) would rarely use the sample decks on the S4. So I think the S2 is better option for newbies. Quote
SourceRaver Posted November 28, 2012 Posted November 28, 2012 As DrC1 said, the S2 isnt that far different from the S4. If you research the S4 you'll probably find a lot more info on the web. Quote
overit Posted November 29, 2012 Author Posted November 29, 2012 ^I figured it was something like that. I hate the S4 due to it's platter being too small and behind all the buttons.Fortunately I do have knowledge of traktor already.I pick the unit up on saturday and have like 8 hours next week to learn it and plan some sparkly demonstrations before I host an open day with it the following saturday. My business partner is doing the same with a pioneer ergo.But then we get to keep both units indefinitely Cheers lads. If I get a chance I'll bang up a review of both units as and when. Quote
