Next Upgrade for my Traktor Setup?

fartnuts2014 · April 17

I got an X1 MK3 a couple of months ago and have been loving it. I have been practicing a bunch and playing some small parties with friends. But now I think its time to upgrade, the obvious choice would be to get the new Z1 MK2 as it's budget friendly and the next piece of the Traktor "family." But I think that it would be better for me if I could use a 4 channel mixer with 4 dedicated faders for chopping. Should I get a really cheap 4 channel mixer like the Numark M6 as I can use FX on the X1's, save up a little more and invest in a nicer used mixer, or just not think too much and buy the Z1 MK2? Any thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks!

Xone K2 with internal mixer mapping. (4 channels and audio interface)

Sell the X1 and buy a used S3 or S5. Cheaper and you get more functionality than a X1+Z1.

Debatable as you can't event contol fx banks with the default layout on the s3

True, I only added the S3 because of the jog wheels. But OP mentioned just adding a 4 channel mixer, so the S5 would be better in my opinion.

Also agree with Stevan that the Xone:K2 is an excellent choice, although the layer system has its limitations. And it’s become quite expensive to buy new.
