What's great about it: Features, easy to use, great price.
What's not so great: No line inputs.
The Traktor Kontrol S2 is cheaper, smaller, lighter alternative to its big brother, the Traktor Kontrol S4. The Kontrol S2 is intuitive and easy to use right out of the box for the beginner, but it has all the core features that made the S4 such a huge success. Most controllers only include the LE (Light Edition) version of their DJ software and you have to upgrade to get all of the features. That's not the case with the Traktor Kontrol S2--it comes with Traktor Pro 2 software, a $200 value. The controller includes a integrated 24bit/96 kHz sound card and the performance and sound quality of the controller is superb. The S2 is does not include line inputs, MIDI, and 4-channel mixing found on the S4, but if you are looking for a lighter, smaller DJ controller with 2-channel mixing then you can't beat the S2 at almost half the cost with Best Buy's sale price of $399.
I would recommend this to a friend!

What's great about it: This is the perfect controller for those who don't want the bulk or a 4 channel setup, or don't want to shell out $1000+
What's not so great: No travel cases available yet, no inputs for iPod or external sources.
I had been debating on picking up the Traktor S4 for quite some time now, but was still nervous about dropping the $999. I didnt really really have a need for a four channel mixer, but still wanted the quality of Native Instruments because I have been using the X1 for a while and loved how easy it is to work. The S2 was my answer: Less expensive, works flawlessly with the Traktor software, and is 2/3 the size of the S4 making it easier for mobile DJ's. It's got a both standard RCA and dedicated booth outputs (which the S4 lacks), and just like all the other traktor products can be remapped for custom effects. I can honestly and whole heartedly recommend this product, (which is probably why its on back order half the time). I've noticed a couple big name DJ's using them lately as well (Manufactured Superstars to name one) so even though its only two channel, its still robust enough for professional use. If you're on the fence with this one, I would say get it!
I would recommend this to a friend!
