native instruments traktor kontrol s4 mk3 dj controller

I got this controller instead of a proper ( turntables and/or cdjs with a mixer set up for obvious reasons space and portability). Problem when using this controller in NO SYNC Mode not stable when you try to match tempo (I'm an old schooler dj so SYNC is not my thang). I am now a fully converted Native Instruments fanboy I wondered if I would regret giving up my Reloop and spending more on this controller, I did, for about a second, and my love for this machine just grows with every use. If you are going to use Traktor, please do not buy any other controller other than NI's own gear, as good as the other two controllers I have owned seemed to be at the time, my purchase of the S4 means that I have discovered that everything else just sullies your experience of Traktor. I have also learned to embrace the sync button, because not working so hard to keep those beats locked, means I can be so creative using the remix decks, FX, filters, 3/ 4 decks, the possibilities are endless. W.O.W!!!!! 2 months in and I still haven't even come close to setting myself up with the timecode vinyl yet, this controller(admittedly coupled with a Kontrol F1) is exactly what I have been looking for, I can now scratch again, whilst not as precise as vinyl, it isn't really far away and cutting and rubbing certainly sound just as good(ahem! or bad) as I used to. I have been djing for 22 years, started out using vinyl and was one of those boring purists who'd forever bleat on about how anything else just wasn't really dj-ing, my opinion boosted by a five minute shot on a pair of CDJs which were, quite frankly, crap compared to the beautiful, pristine pure experience of using vinyl, fast forward another 15 years or so and I was introduced to the world of digital dj-ing through the 'joy' of Virtual DJ, I still wasn't convinced, the sync button bored me and it just did not feel like real dj-ing, but, I did appreciate the ease of the format, instead of paying £6 for a heavy slab of plastic with four tracks on, of which 50% of the time you only like one of the tracks, I could pick and choose single entries from each release, I liked that and decided to further explore, upgrading to Traktor and a cheapy controller just to see if it tuned me in further, it did, and I found myself ordering a slightly less cheap controller and fueling my now burgeoning digital addiction, but still, it wasn't a replacement for vinyl, something was missing, that connectivity that you get when cueing and scratching with vinyl, so I decided to try timecode vinyl and my research to me to Native Instrument's very own S4 Mk2 DJ Controller.
