Get a DJ controller that can keep up with you. The Traktor Kontrol S4 uses haptic feedback and tight software integration to create a better DJ experience.
Overview
Native Instruments Traktor Kontrol S4 lets you connect with your tracks in entirely new ways: Not only do its motorized jog wheels spin and react to nudging, scratching, pitch-fading, and backspins, they transmit cue points, loop markers, and more direct to your fingertips. And with RGB LED rings and high-res color displays keeping all the info you need front and center in the booth, everything you need is right where you need it -- so you're free to focus on your mix.

The crossfader feels a little stiff, but I'm also coming off a Rane TTM-56 and one shoukdnt expect the fluidity of mag faders. The knobs are pretty accurate and NI recently addressed the +/-8% issue with faders, however if you have a track loaded in Traktor you'll get risidual humming if everything is turned down on that channel.Here and there, Windows 10 will disconnect the Kontrol S4 mk3 and the program runs sluggishly. This is a nightmare if you're recording as you'll be stuck restarting or using a paste method in something like Acid to join recordings.Other than the occasional hiccup, it's a stellar device with a lot of capabilities.
