Hi, i was a traktor user for many years, i like the interface, the midi configuration, the SOUND and the effects... but without elastic beatgrids, granular quantization (1/16 beats) and now stems....its a little complicated not to fall in love with serato, vdj or djay pro. Ive changed to serato 2 weeks ago, mainly for this reason (besides, everybody at the clubs is playing with serato). I know, 90% of the djs dont play at clubs, but they see what we are using at the clubs or festivals, so dont forget us. Of course there is no new hardware...the s4 is really a weapon (the haptic feedback its a little anoying when scratching, but it can be customized without it, the xfader sucks, but it can be upgraded - innofader would be great and you have done this before with the z2). The jogs are a little small for scratching, but they work. I have stoped waiting (many years of waiting) for NI to realease at least the beatgrids and the quantization, thats why i changed to serato (totally heart broken), but i think NI its more focused on sound packs/maschine stuff than in new dj hardware. Yeah, the s4 its enough for electronic music, but for open format djs...the software its the limiting factor. BTW every mapped jogwheel sucks if it isnt from NI hardware. The old forums where great, ton of information, also the support its a little slow (maybe i had bad luck -first question in many years). Integrating hardware from rane and others would be great , but i think this is away from NI scope. Also, tired to do crazy mappings with all the modifiers. The new logo looks like AI mixed with Nasa :D. I wouldnt have released the new image without new hardware or important software upgrades. The s4 has of course the old logo...that doesnt look well. Hope that my fellow Germans are not doing any marketing stuff, because we are not to good at that. We let the quality speaks for itself, but nowadays thats it not enough. Hope that NI can cope with the other software competitors regarding software features and then, i ll switched back to traktor. Good luck in the future! :D.

I'm talking about the app "Music" (formerly iTunes), which I am only using as a music collection management software for tracks I bought/have downloaded. Nothing to do with the streaming platform "Apple Music". You can't play Apple Music streaming files in Traktor as of now. However, there is a program called Soundiiz that will convert your Apple Music playlists to Beatport or Beatsource LINK, which you can then play in Traktor. I use it to convert my Spotify playlists to Beatport LINK. It works great and is synchronized every day.

Pioneer's Rekordbox library is so much more advanced than Traktor's. Traktor's feel like it's in the Palaeolithic in comparison unfortunately. It would be nice if NI integrated a feature that Pioneer has which allows you to match or pair tracks to other tracks which is super useful at specific moments of a set where the crowd is up and loving the vibe and you don't want to change the energy by choosing the wrong track.

Hello, after four years of existence, are there any plans to replace the S4 MK3 in the near future? I've had one for 1 month and I'd like to know if it's planned, as on the Pioneer ddj flx-10, to have two USB inputs to connect two laptops, so that in the event of a bug, you can switch to the other computer. If I may say so, I think it's a pity that on the left-hand player, the tempo fader has been placed on the right-hand side of the player, because it's too close to the C & A channel faders, and on several occasions I've inadvertently accelerated the speed. As for the rest, there's a very nice evolution compared to the S4MKII. Thanks for your answers.

@DeeJayEndo10 ай бұрын
Correct - the Cue button doesn’t work as it should in TT mode. That’s why I use Jog mode. I’m guessing they did that so it doesn’t burn out the motor by stopping and stopping so rapidly. About the Absolute Mode not behaving properly I’d have to check that but if you can reproduce it I’d write into support about it and send a video.

@sexyeur25 күн бұрын
Asking Gemini: "Which DJ controllers allow the use of samples and stems at the same time?" Gemini answers: "DJ Controllers for Samples and Stems Most modern DJ controllers with four or more channels will allow you to use samples and stems simultaneously. The key is having DJ software that supports this feature, such as: Traktor Pro 3: Renowned for its flexibility in handling samples and stems. Ableton Live: While primarily a DAW, it can be used as DJ software and offers deep integration with samples and stems. Mixxx: An open-source option that supports various audio formats, including samples and stems. Popular Controller Choices: Native Instruments Traktor Kontrol $4 MK3: Offers dedicated controls for samples and stems, making it a popular choice for this type of performance."
