THE BOTTOM LINE: Native Instruments has delivered on its promise to create an all-in-one 4-deck Traktor Pro system with admirable software/hardware integration, a nod to the burgeoning controllerist community, and a soundcard that’s actually worth using. Not compatible with DVS systems yet (NI says this is coming soon). Big-time cue point juggler and button mashing controllerists will probably still want a supplemental “grid” controller. Operating on USB bus power alone is not recommended due to dim LEDs. THE BAD: No price break yet for licensed Traktor Pro users.

Two analog inputs and excellent Audio 4 DJ-like sound quality. MIDI compatibility for other gear and software, but much higher resolution control between the hardware and Traktor Pro S4. Comes with Traktor Pro S4 with new Sample Decks and Loop Recorder. THE GOOD: All-in-one 4-deck software/controller/audio interface system based on tried and true Native Instruments technology.
