Hi, my initial thought was the same. Why limit it to 4? Although I have recently learned the idea behind their decision was that most DJ music can be broken down into 4 elements. Drums, vocals, bass & riff. Having realised this, I now tend to agree that it should be limited to 4. Another reason I have heard was that they limited it to 4 due to Native instruments hardware limitations and playing several tracks at once would cause performance issues.

I have been producing electronic music for some time now. I don't think I have ever had a piece with less than a dozen tracks.

Yes, in the end it boils down to the 4 mentioned, but while you produce, you want way more than that.

It is mostly aimed to do lives, so 4 tracks is generally enough.
