| 03.02.2011 FX control - smart knobs? | 1 | 03.02.2011 |
| Hi guys, So my S4 arrived yesterday, and I spent much of today learning how Traktor works (previously an Ableton guy). So far it's great, but I'm curious about the FX panels. The default FX behaviour is OK, but it's not the most ergonomic workflow to pick through a series of FX and control… | ||

| 01.02.2011 Power Adaptor - is it working? | 7 | 02.02.2011 |
| Hi guys, Curious issue with the power adaptor on my brand new S4. My S4 works, but plugging in the power adaptor makes no difference to either the headphone volume or the LED brightness. This makes me suspect the adaptor is not working. What should I be seeing when I unplug and replug the… | ||

| 01.02.2011 transfer settings and track info from TSP to S4 software? | 6 | 01.02.2011 |
| Oh Hai, I was wondering if you could transfer your cues and notes from tracks from Traktor Scratch Pro to Traktor S4 software and how. I searched the community and couldnt see a thing... Thing is that on my Mac it should be pretty straightfoward when changing (upgrading) software but I have a done a… | ||

| 22.01.2011 Drum & Bass beatmixing/beatgridding question(s). | 14 | 31.01.2011 |
| After lots of playing around and experimenting with the features, I finally got round to mixing some tunes. I spent a good deal of time going through and beatgridding some 50+ tracks. I read and watched all I could find on beatgridding (Dubspot, Proferssor Ben, DJTT DVD etc) and I believe I have… | ||

| 30.01.2011 Speaking of auto-gain. | 13 | 30.01.2011 |
| My auto-gain is checked in preferences. What I just can't seem to figure out is how to set it to a certain threshold in the S4 software. The reason I bring this up is because all my songs that I play, end up having some crazy gain levels and I end up clipping like crazy till I manually adjust the… | ||

| 26.01.2011 S4 beatgridding trouble (another one) | 8 | 30.01.2011 |
| For the first few weeks I had the S4, it seemed like it analyzed/auto gridded tracks perfectly. However, it has been way off on some tracks I picked up recently from itunes + beatport. For example, avicii's mix of robyn's "hang with me" gets analyzed as either 71.22, 142. 56 or even… | ||

| 26.01.2011 Poor service in Europe | 9 | 27.01.2011 |
| I sent back my defective Kontrol S4 on 17th December 2010 because of the defective volumn fader. The techenical support said they will send back a replacement as soon as possible. After that I have called the support line again and again, it costs me a lot of money since I live in the… | ||
| 24.01.2011 Traktor S4 - My 2 cents | 14 | 27.01.2011 |
| Easy all! Like many I'm sure, I've been reading through this community for months now, weighing up my potential purchase of the S4. I've been using Traktor for years and it's taken a lot of umms and aahs to make the jump to the S4 from Audio 8 & Traktor Pro. Well this week I went ahead and… | ||
| 26.01.2011 Cue mix at middle, cued track a LOT louder.. bug? | 3 | 27.01.2011 |
| Hey I really love my S4 but there's one thing that makes it extremely difficult to create smooth mixes: when having the cue-mix knob in the middle (50% cue, 50% master), pushing the cue button on the new track plays the track A LOT louder than what's going on on the master (for tracks that… | ||
| 24.01.2011 Catastrophic failure at gig | 7 | 27.01.2011 |

| 25.01.2011 Who uses Autogain and the Limiter | 13 | 27.01.2011 |
| Been reading today and seen some threads where guys have said the S4 sounded great others saying the output was too low. Curious as to what everyones setting is. I believe the autogain + limiter + software volume + hardware volume = a ton of ways folks can go wrong. I've been using: -… | ||
| 26.01.2011 S4 Arrived | 4 | 26.01.2011 |

| 25.01.2011 White noise on S4 | 3 | 26.01.2011 |
| Is there anyway to get the buildup breakage noise on the S4? The gater doesn't really do it in my opinion, and the results everyone else have are not very good. Do you guys have a sample you can load in? | ||
| 05.01.2011 Anyone use a Netbook to organize tracks? | 9 | 25.01.2011 |
| Do any of you have the S4 software loaded on a netbook? Does it run at all? I'm not talking about a full setup but will it be useable enough to add some cue points and build playlists? I would not play out with this, it would be more of a sit on the couch maybe with an x1 machine. | ||
| 21.01.2011 First recording with S4 | 3 | 24.01.2011 |
| My first recording with the S4, after 2 days of getting used to it and the workflow. Not too fancy, but a start. I'm getting used to using sample decks and the loop recorder, but I haven't got too much time to practice. I'm still trying to figure out the way the S4 manages levels, the FX routing… | ||
| 22.01.2011 EQ's and Filter > Beatmasher | 8 | 24.01.2011 |
| Hi, I'm using the S4, and noticed that Filter and EQ's become inactives on a "beatmashed" piece of music. I'm almost sure that it wasn't the case before (TraktorSP + other controllers). So I'd like EQ's and Filter working even the beatmasher's activated. Does someone have an… | ||
| 12.12.2010 S4 Cue Points 'popping' on release | 24 | 24.01.2011 |
| I'm stoked about my new S4; been working at it for a few days to get the hang things. One thing I noticed is when I set Cue Points, or 'Hot Cues' ~ and retrigger them, WITHOUT the track playing (basically using them as 'gated triggers',) they POP when I release the cue button. … | ||

| 23.01.2011 Initial scratch demo with the S4 | 3 | 24.01.2011 |
| http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YWDUHb9drJA As I continue to learn the ins and outs of my Kontrol S4, I wanted to start practicing scratching on it. Coming from a pair of 1200 mk5's and a Pioneer DJM707 mixer, I'm still getting used to the small jog wheel and the sensitivity of the crossfader on… | ||
| 18.01.2011 Want to help S4 Windows Users? | 12 | 23.01.2011 |
| I am looking for a couple of guinea pigs for a simple Windows Batch File script I am working on. The script shuts down a host of services that are not used by Traktor S4. The goal of the script is to free up resources without requiring permanent changes to the Windows install. The hope is that it… | ||
