Splinter posted:The S4 will support timecode at some point. It has 2 phono/line input channels to hookup turntables or CDJs, but the software doesn't support it yet. I'm guessing you'll be able to use timecode with the S4 in Tractor Scratch Pro 2. http://nativeinstruments.com/#/en/products/dj/traktor-kontrol-s4/?page=1813 [bottom of the page]

Leaving out the laptop is an interesting idea. I can see this getting some traction in the mobile market thanks to the phone import. Does it take pre-gridded tracks? Will it also be usable as a generic Traktor controller? Can you give any pricing hints? Also if you can say will there be any other SCS updates? I still think the SCS3 is dying for an audio interface module and a USB SCS1d that could do Traktor's high-res jog code would be neat.

AKP posted:Since I can connect the S4 to my iMac via USB, can I just plug in normal headphones through my mac and still hear what I'm doing while mixing? You could just buy a 1/4" to 1/8" adapter for $0.23 [or $3 at your local radio shack] but that sounds far less complicated than your solution

I do think it's weird that the S4 and the NS6 are both just barely too big to fit well in a normal carry-on sized bag, it would seem like that would be a really big deal to a lot of traveling DJs.

Yeah the last time I saw Qbert play he was on after Jazzy Jeff who is technically perfect [seriously it's unreal] but can still make a crowd move. There's also super-tech DJs like Kid Koala or Swamp who still make it entertaining. Qbert was great matched up with the Piklz or on a 2x2 but on his own it's "master of 10,000 'wah' scratches".

Firaga posted:Traktor S2!! It's so cute! I'd imagine its perfect for a professional mobile dj (weddings, events, etc) Looks neat and way more portable than an S4. I know Ean Golden is like filter/effect god but do people really use filters so much that it's a big complaint about what's missing? Plus it seems like a good upsell opportunity for him to sell more midi fighters. edit spoke too soon: "This controller, augmented by a more performance-oriented controller could provide a great center piece to your DJ arsenal." qirex fucked around with this message at 18:02 on Aug 25, 2011 |

Pocket (well almost) scratching! https://vimeo.com/32513569 It's more of a proof of concept than anything but with some improvements I could see something like Twitch + an ipad + some kind of single job scratch controller being super portable and flexible.

I got myself a Kontrol S2 because I got a bonus at work, I have a dumb Traktor question: Is there any way for it to feed the detected BPM back into the BPM tag in the library? It obviously saves it because it doesn't analyze the file again but the BPM stays 0 in the browser.

Is anyone going to the DMC Bay Area Regionals? I've been to several of them in the past but the all ages crowd + it will probably take even longer than before to get everyone's laptops/interfaces connected makes it less appealing.

I think there's actually a good argument for a DJ-specific file format, it would be pretty cool if you could have a portable standard container format, especially if it could save cue points, loops or even multiple versions of one song [clean/dirty/instrumental/acapella].

Or the just-announced Denon SC2900. The jogs aren't motorized but they're big like a CDJ and it supports USB drives and has native Traktor support.

oredun posted:Neither, they will both be outdated and worthless(money wise) in a year or two. I had a Vestax Spin which was the same hardware as the Typhoon and it was a far cry from all metal but it was decent quality. The main thing I didn't like about it was that there was no way to not use the mouse and keyboard, buttons instead of a knob for track browsing meant it was always faster to go back to the computer.

I don't play out but I'm really happy with the Crossfade LP2 for home use. They recently released a "better" folding pair but they're $100 more which is pushing it since they have the exact same drivers as the LP2.

If you don't have "Single Ladies" you'll be fired and replaced by a cell phone immediately before the bouquet toss. Basically have as much of the billboard top 100 for the last 40 years as you can get your hands on.

To me it can be deconstructed down to which way the crowd is facing. If they're all looking at the DJ it's one kind of show, if they're all looking at each other it's another.

Sidenote: Even if you're not that into turntablism I think stuff like the Return of the DJ or Deep Concentration compilations can be great for ideas [or jacking beats].

I like the idea but it needs more connectivity, like you should be able to plug in an external controller if you want more pads or knobs or something. Or 2 RJ45s so you cna daisy chain them. Or at least another USB port on the back if you just want a big HD of tunes, putting the place where the music comes from right next to the touchscreen seems risky. Plus if they did that they could finally do something many DJs have needed for ages: sealing the top plate so it can resist a spilled double vodka cran. [anyone want to make a "SPORTS" mixer in all yellow?] I'm sure there will be an XDJ-2000 next year that costs twice as much and has 2 USB ports.
