Hey Everyone,

I am looking at getting a set of the above, and linking it to traktor. I have an S4 and F1 however I feel this kinda limits me to getting gigs as not everywhere is controller friendly!

Would I be able to use my S4 as an external mixer?

Also if I use Timecode CD's Does that mean I lose the ability for cue's an hot loops?

Cheers.

What are the main differences between 800mk2 1000mk3
The CDJ-1000 MK3 has hot cues and an adjustable-tension jogwheel and a slightly more detailed display. Functions really aren't much different.

Happy to use my laptop with the mixes.

Thanks for the post, I owe you a beer
No problem... a couple other nice features of using Traktor and the S4 is that, even when playing regular CD's through the S4, you can still use decks A & B as either track decks or remix decks controlled by the S4... and you can also record all of your sources via the internal mix recorder.

Technically, you can use the S4 as a "mixer" for CDJ's either using timecode or standard CD's. However, you must have a computer connected running Traktor to do so. You have two options:

1) Connect CDJ's to decks C & D and select C & D as "Live Input" decks in Traktor. You can then play regular CD's.

2) If you have the certified Scratch Pro 2 upgrade, you can connect your CDJ's to decks C & D and play timecode CD's to control Traktor.

In both cases, you have the full "mixer" controls available on the S4, including gains, EQ's, filters, and line faders. So, technically it can be used as a mixer, but it is by no means able to be used as a standalone mixer without a computer.

And make sure not to buy CDJ850-s for Traktor as they only use HID with Serato.

Right, so I can't use the s4 as a mixer.

So CDJ1000's // Audio Interface // Timecode CD's

What cdj's are HID?

I see the 2000's are is that it?!

I've used some of my friends cdj 400's with serato in both hid and timecode, if thats anything to go by hid is a ton better. maybe invest in some 400s or even used 850s instead? however i'm by no means experienced on the topic. its just what i have found.

Yes you can use the S4 as an external mixer... No you won't lose the ability for cues and hot loops. An X1 is a perfect companion, but since you already have the S4 you can use that
