Great review! I play House and this baby is just awesome. Paired with X1 and F1 controllers from Traktor the possibilities are infinite. I left the vinyl and cdj platforms with no regrets. The Z2 is a tank. Nice build and most of all nice workflow. For me the main reasons why I chose Z2 were portability, my Z2 (Ziggy) and the controllers fit snug in a carry on ( when flying or gigs), all knobs are mappable ( you can personalise for your unique workflow and sound), easy to clean (just take off knobs and the magnetic face plates come off). Z2 has 2 USB ports so I plug my X1 and F1 controllers directly to it. Someone asked why Traktor and not Serato...Cost vs quality. Overall Traktor is a better product, it can do all that Serato does and much more, the remix sets and FX are pure bliss as are the loops, loop recorder and loop knobs. They allow you to produce, remix on the fly while you are playing. You can use any MIDI controller u need just the right mapping or you can do it yourself. Traktor Pro software costs 99$ for life or included with any controller ( S2, S4, and S8) and Traktor Scratch Pro included with the Z2. It can be used as is with advanced Pioneer CDJ's 900 and up and several Pioneer mixers. I used to have CDJ's 800Mk2 and used timecode cd's in combination with Z2, no sound card needed. I could write a whole book so better stop here. Cheers!

whats good,, Accurate. Just a little trick I use with my Z2.. The thing I like about the Z2 is that the cuepoints are vertical, unlike many Rane mixers.. what I do, have my turntable on the left, like you have here.. but plug it into the right channel. then I switch 'on' the reverse crossfader switch. that way its easier to trigger the cuepoints with the pads on the right hand side, without taking my hand of the crossfader.. try it out ;) -locrates

Great review, i know this is a bit of a necro but couple things you most likely already figured out, one the video during the scratching comparison at the end was not completely sync'd perfect...(as a DJ i know if any of us look close we can actually tell looking at the cuts) so i think the latency i felt like you were having on the Control Vinyl i saw the same type of lag in the clips of you cutting your actual wax... so in the end i think the comparison was good but the editing makes it hard to make an honest comparison. the other thing (this in namely for anyone who experiences lag on any DVS) was if somehow there was that much latency on the Control Vinyl then getting into the audio settings and changing the buffer can make the response time sharper, in SSL serato scratch live you could make the buffer 0ms in SeratoDJ it goes as low as 1, in Traktor i believe its 3 but i would have to double check. Final Analysis: im finding that Traktor when the buffer is set correctly, outperforms SSL and SDJ...but not pressed vinyl as you most certainly already know:)...Necro Rant Over:)

Can u explain why yout went with Traktor Pro instead of Serato DJ? For the same price you can get the Mixars Duo which is basically the same all in one solution but with Serato. The line faders of the Mixars Duo have adjustable curves, which is not the case with the ones one the Z2. Plus the faceplate had a quality problem on the Z2, it wears off very fast. Maybe NI have fixed that in the meantime, I don' t know. Just my 2 cents 😎

Because Mixar will have fader problems after one year of use, all the faders will be "pass-through" mode even though it is off position that's how cheaply Mixar made. Which is even more, worse than Z2's Cross Faders paint wears off which happened to the 1st production models, new Z2's don't wear off the paint quickly anymore. and Z2 has the Innofader on all channels, Mixar has the Galileo Fader.

First of all, good review and good videos in général (I watched some ;) So..I had this mixer. The reasons to prefer Serato or Traktor are subjectives, it depend of the different things we want each other. In my case I had Serato before, and I lost a lot of time to editing my library on (cue, loop, etc...), even I thing Serato is easily, more stable, less latency but I grown accustomed with Traktor after years. But, It's an another debate... I tought "naively" that the cue point will be add on booth DVS, even using "Mixed in key" software (Like they said that it works on their website), but I made a mistake and I didn't want to make the job 2 times... This is why I sold the table. Except this, the table is very dope, reactive, easilly to use and less latency than when I tested it with my old native soundcard A10! Interesting, especially if you've invested on native gear or you planned to use Traktor. But I wasn't convinced by the mini innofader crossfader because the cut in lag is huge to cut well (1,5 - 2 mm) and I quicly changed for an innofader PNP and the mixer become perfect! Yes...you can also setup the curve for the L and R fader on the software and the cut in of the fader sharp, like an old Vestax transform switch, some tuto exist on youtube ;) I also tested the mixar DUO, it's exactly the same mixer but with Serato in (design, using, etc...) but in fact, the galileo is just a Pro-x "updated" and I didn't like them because you can't setup it like an inno, there is too much of grip and the fader wear more faster because of the friction of this fader type... But my humble advice to have the perfect mixer on it is "Put an inno"!

If you are using mashine software and hardware than Traktor is the way to go. I use both serato and Traktor, serato gets bugy when running maschine where as Traktor runs great with it. I also prefer Traktor over serato mainly because of the remix decks. The Z2 is a beast I replaced the cross fader with an innofader pro2 and love it

I think the Z2 is a digital mixer (don't remember, you can search that on Native Instruments page), you can use it as a standalone mixer with turntables for vinyl and DVS, there's a channel in KZitem named "John L", where he uses just a pair of turntables and the Z2 for DVS, you still can use vinyl because the mixer have phono inputs, there's a video from "Mojaxx" talking about this mixer (old video), the DJs that use the Z2 always said that sound amazing in the club (the mixer is old compared to other mixers so I don't know if the sound is as good as when it was launch).

I've hd nothing but issues since I got this god damn Traktor z2 mixer in 2013... it only worked with the time code when it felt like it, god damn that would piss me off, after a while I just gave up on it since I ended up not liking the Traktor DJ software anyways, the mixer is very dope as a regular vinyl mixer but the timecode had issues and I thought the Traktor software sucked, too damn cluttered & complicated.... so in 2014 I got a Pioneer DDJ-SR Serato controller and gave up on Traktor and this damn mixer. I'm finally about to put this mixer for sale in 2019 but I have to make sure it works...well today I bought the new version of the software Traktor 3 because it was on sale for $25 and I was hoping maybe it would fix the problem so I could sell it and I was also curious what improvements were done to the software... well the software does look better but I still can't get the timecode to work, what the fuck, this shit is pissing me off again!!!! I've had nothing but bad experiences with this wack Traktor dj setup, I never had any issues with my Serato setup, once in a great while serato or my controller might glitch but it's rare, meanwhile Tracktor used to glitch on me like 50% of the time I used it before I got Serato and since then when I miss my turntables and try to get on it usually doesn't work, last time it worked was once in the summer of 2018 but it hardly worked before that and I can't get it to work since then, fkn piece of crap, no wonder it was only $600 brand new, compared to the expensive Serato mixers for about $1500! One thought I barely had today was did they maybe switch to different timecode vinyl than the original one I got in 2013, could that be the problem but why would they change them so I doubt it. Hopefully someone here has the answer but I'm ready to trow this thing in the fkn trash since I can't sell it if it doesn't work with timecode vinyl, basically what it's made for.... unless I sell it as an analog mixer, because that part works perfect.... fuck Traktor X( .... I can't wait to get a Serato DVS system, I heard that's plug & play with no damn complications! I don't think I like Native Instruments and probably won't ever buy anything from them again, even to uninstall the Traktor DJ software they made it all fkn complicated, I had to watch a youtube video and had to look for all kinds of files on my apple computer just to fully delete that shit, instead of them just offering an uninstaller app!!! Oh and by the way, today I started checking the internet and it looks like this is a common issue, so it looks like Native Instruments sold us a piece of crap!

I just bought it and after fiddling (next I'm gonna calibrate it) for a bit, it works well. Yes, they have "new" mk2 control vinyl. But, I think your problem is your Mac. I see online that mac user have issues with traktor in general, and not just operator error.

I need something to connect my D2s to. My S4 works but it's big. As soon as I buy this the price is gonna drop.

I have buy 3 times this mixer, and i can proof it to everyone, is the only mixer i broken 3 times, i have been a possessor of stanton / vestax/ rane.. but native instrument mixers are made of shit. I prefer a pmc 05 than this shit. The build quality is ILLEGAL. Never again. im buying a ttm57

Obviously you're just unlucky or really rough with it. I have had mine 5 years and it's still like new and working perfectly.

Is the Z2 a better mixer than the numark scratch
@alphaza76

I own both. The z2 beats the Numark scratch in functionality, flexibility (can be mapped more than the Scratch) and the build quality is way beyond that of the Scratch. There is absolutely no comparison between these two mixers. The Z2 is a lot superior.
