I've got both an S4 and 3 CDJ 1000's hooked up to a DJM. I like to switch b/t the CDJs and the S4 on the fly b/c quite frankly, DJing on the S4 can be both amazing and frustrating at the same time. I mentioned on an earlier post about the S4 that you tend to do unnecessary mixing and effects that can make your DJing sound like jumble house....But I guess that's the case with any DVS system.

I like the CDJs b/c it has a comforting feeling about it. I know the product like the back of my hand, and they still have a real "DJ" feel to them.....But if you're looking towards the future of DJing, don't be afraid to embrace the newest technology. It took me years to make the transition from vinyl to CDs, and even longer to embrace the world of DVS. I just saw the DDJ T-1 and man, that thing looks sick! It's about $200 more than the S4 but I should have waited for this product instead of jumping the gun on the S4.

In the end, it doesn't really matter what a DJ uses. Look at guys like Lee Burridge and Sven Vath that still rock out with vinyl. Then take a look at guys like Richie Hawtin and Chris Liebing that use technology to the max. Even Jeff Mills, who I NEVER thought would ever stray from vinyl, essentially uses CDJs, an efx box, and a drum machine (I think that's an old school 303 he brings but can't tell for sure).....
