Native Instruments Traktor Kontrol S8

This is an amazingly versatile piece of gear, and in my opinion one of the best, if not the best DJ software controller. Within a week I had learned all there was to know about the hardware, and this allowed me to get creative, experiment and have fun without touching my laptop. Sometimes the experience is such that I forget that it's even connected to an outside source, and that is a win in my book.
The unit itself feels extremely high quality, at a fraction of the price of an alternate four deck setup from Pioneer. And even if you prefer CDJ's to the Touchstrips provided, you can still use them with the autonomous mixer section of the S8.
It comes fully loaded with traktor scratch pro 2, so even timecode vinyl users are able able to integrate their turntable setups.

5/5
