I see your point... I just like having the option of using my decks to control pitch etc. do you have a mac? they don't seem to be having probelms as much with macs. if it works with whatever you have, i'd say go for it. i loved the system, just not the audio drop outs yeah, i've got a macbook you know traktor and S4 come with a pitch controller lol but yea i thought about the fact you can hook up decks or whatever but didn't really see the point LOL, i'm well aware of that.... who needs pitch control when you have a sync button anyway
