Traktor Kontrol S4 was designed from its conception as a fully integrated system where software and hardware are fused in perfect harmony. Custom-tailored for TRAKTOR, the S4 fuses a premium-quality 4 channel DJ mixer, a built-in 24 bit/96 kHz soundcard, an intuitive controller, and the flagship TRAKTOR PRO S4 software into one fully professional solution – the ideal one-stop package for DJs who want pro features, instant usability and go-anywhere portability.

a good gig bag is very important for every artist
if I were a Traktor DJ this thing would be the perfect solution for me

TRAKTOR BAG by UDG offers enough room for your equipment: Its main compartment holds up to 40 vinyl records (35 with a laptop inside) and comprises an individual 15.4 inch laptop bag. You can fit in an audio interface like AUDIO 8 DJ, controllers such as TRAKTOR KONTROL X1 or MASCHINE and other stage equipment. The sturdy bag comes with an adjustable shoulder strap and can easily be slipped onto the handle of a trolley when on the road.

there are some great controllers out there for Traktor already
but now Native Instuments built their own
the KONTROL X1 looks quite promising
if you connect two units you can control 4 virtual decks
