Everything in it's right place.
If I lost all of my gear, I would replace this and my subpac first.
11/10
By far the most integrated Traktor controller ever! Love the build quality & color display. Don't be discouraged by the lack of jogwheels, because you can connect turntables/cds & use it as a standalone mixer!
Greay piece of kit.
Love the stems view more than anything when dj'ing. You can really make creative mixes.. A little bulky to take to a club. Ideal for a home dj set up.
impressive
really impressed by the built quality and the creative power of this monster
Just. Epic.
The stems format is easily to use to the fullest. The whole body and structure of the controller is like two F1's combined, but now more easily accessed. I'm really proud to be one of the few actually using the remix decks live on stage, and combined with other live elements and the easy filtering of layers in my tracks that I prerecorded makes this thing a spaceship on it's own. It's definitely something to take notice of, if you never heard of either Remix Decks or Stems. But; 1 but, there's no platter. I really missed these for scratching. But the robust outlook could probably only be maintained with the touch sensitive pad above the transport pads on both the lower sides of the decks.
Versatility is key for me.
The S8 is not traditional to say the least but that's why I like it. I am more of an MPCer or finger drummer and that is how I dJ. This hardware allows that freedom.
As important as headphones....
This piece of equipment is the swiss army knife of mixers. It has the capabilities to be a stand alone mixer as too! This is my preferred mixer for large shows and everyday use. I don't always have the luxury of transporting this beast so that can kinda be a kick in the pants sometimes. I use this with my cdjs, sl1200's and serato. Although you lose a few features using serato vs. its native program traktor, you can always midi map.
