Do you plan to produce music or just want to mix? Both are amazing hardware/software but I feel Traktor's innovations blur the lines between DJ software and music production tools more so than Rekordbox or Serato.
@@alchemix206 thanks so mich for replying. Do im new to djing and and starting with mixing but as i get more familiar and more practice id like to mess with stems and remixing
I had the mk1 and mk2. Its Time to upgrade. Torn between rane 1, 1000SRT, and the Traktor MK3. I'm digging the moving platters but I also like onboard effects . Not sure what the cure is for native instruments 🤷🏾♂️. Please give your input.
Never touched a 1000 but they look amazing and everyone I know who owns/owned one loved it, The MK3 is great but Traktor has felt somewhat like a back burner project for NI for a long time and no one is sure if/when that's gonna change, and that Rane 1 looks incredible! Honestly I want one and its probably where I'd put my money unless you know you want 4 channel.
@@alchemix206 Definitely and it's funny because the one that is small,compact and weightless is the standalone one too,Numark sometimes is silly.Regardless NS7 is still amazing,but would like to see how they'd compare to each other.
@@alchemix206 thanks and hope so :) i havent opened it yet ,im downloadin some tunes on laptop since last night ,will try tonight ,i use to play on vinlys and lets hope this is easier then turntables :)
Hi Aaron, you could play around with the Software (or do some research to see what you"d enjoy more). And make a decision based on that. I loved the layout of TRAKTOR software and it's ease in ability in FX Effects... and that made me go for the Traktor S4.
Microphone inputs suck balls! Sold mine was not worth the hastle have to add input device and asign it sucks major balls!!! One channel stopped working really screwed up NI!!!!!
Thank you! I'm trying to decide btw the DDJ 1000 & this traktor controller. I'm so undecided. I'm using to using traktor already tho

@@xxkitkatxx1982 I love Traktor's remix decks. The F1 is an excellent way to introduce yourself to those concepts.
@Queen Bees: While holding SHIFT, press the LOOP encoder on that Deck to enable Keylock for the track.

I think the competitor of this one is the Numark NS7.I mean when it comes to motorized dj controller it has to be compared to that.
Good point. If I had one I definitely would have done some side by side, the weight difference between the two would have been crazy!

You're gonna love it!

Good video. I’m trying to work out which controller to buy. Definitely want a 4 Chanel. Great review, still don’t know what to do yet.
Well now that NI seems to be massively downsizing and refocusing on music production over DJ software I'd say go with the DDJ 1000.

Cool video dude
That scratching at the beginning sounded 🤢 no offence haha😅
None taken! Scratching is a very abstract artform that less and less people appreciate now a days. Also... I'm just not that good at it. = )
Alchemix It sounded good to me. 😎
Queen Bee. Practice on turntables then go back to your kontroller. Trust me.
I been trying to tell her!
She'll probably fall in love with them and never go back to a controller.....
Microphone up )))
Check.
