| 27.12.2010 Preparing loops and samples for the S4 | 2 | 28.12.2010 |
| I have a lot of loops from sample libraries that I'd like to use in the S4 and I need some help importing them. I've been using the browser I navigate to the folder and use the import as loop menu context. A lot of the time the bpm detected is wrong, especially for bass lines, so I've loaded the… | ||
| 27.12.2010 S4 right loop controller | 3 | 27.12.2010 |
| S4 + MBP continues to be a dream, but I have one quick issue. The loop control knob on the right deck does not enlarge or lessen the size of the loop when i manipulate it, as the loop control knob on the left does. They both insert a one touch loop when depressed, however. sounds like an easy… | ||
| 26.12.2010 S4 + MBP = bliss | 1 | 26.12.2010 |
| ...ok, so i was starting to get a little nervous, what with all the much talked about software/hardware problems w/ the S4 package. i was experiencing many of these same problems while using my new S4 with a rather old vaio (that had run traktor pro with little trouble). i was even beginning to… | ||

| 22.12.2010 Echo/freeze: modulating the "tail" | 8 | 23.12.2010 |
| Hi there, I must be stupid, but since Traktor S4 I can't seem to mess around with the "tail" produced by the Echo/Freeze FX combination. I used to modulate it via the EQs and the filter. This used to be possible with Traktor Pro. What am I missing here??? I guess I miss something… | ||
| 20.12.2010 Just joined the cool kids! | 9 | 23.12.2010 |
| Picked up an S4 today, and have been at it for 5+ hours now. Mostly just getting things situated and learning basic controls.

| 21.12.2010 Just noticed Bar marker read out.... how cool!!!! | 2 | 21.12.2010 |
| Mouse over the waveform overview (the one that shows the whole track) It will give you a read out that shows how many bars from the current play point to where your cursor is. eg: +32 means there is 32 bars from current play position to where your cursor is. How cool is that for working… | ||

| 19.12.2010 Issue with recording? | 3 | 20.12.2010 |
| Sup guys, Recorded a set today, and after the first hour, it cut the recording and started recording the second hour as a different recording. Okay, that's not a big deal. Is there a way I can set it to record one big file? I guess this can actually be a good thing to have when recording… | ||
| 06.12.2010 First Impressions from a Noob | 11 | 19.12.2010 |
| Almost a month and half ago. I woke up one day and say, "I'd really like to start DJing/Remixing again." Going back to the mid 80's, I had a typical setup of two turntables, a mixer and a dream. With a small collection of albums, I produced a couple of "Master Mixes" and then… | ||

| I just got my S4 and have been trying to learn the shortcut for "digital doubles". On the Serato / Rane 57 I have a toggle switch mapped to throw over a track to either deck quickly. Since the S4 doesnt seem to have this feature (via the controller) I mapped an possible solution thanks to… | ||
| 13.12.2010 Moving cue points in software? | 10 | 17.12.2010 |
| Lots of times when I setting cue points / loops in Traktor, I will do them out of order, so that I might find the loop I want for the mix out point and set it as Cue 2, then the intro and set it as Cue 3. For consistency, I set up all my cues / loops sequentially. So when this happens, I have to… | ||

| 15.12.2010 Question about TSI from TPro using in S4 | 3 | 15.12.2010 |
| I have a Oxygen 49 all nice and mapped for everything I want in addition to my current controller's capabilities, like 8 cue points for each deck, Fx3 & 4 controls, super knobs, and super buttons, etc. This mapping will also work well with the S4 I'll be purchasing soon. I highly doubt it,… | ||

| I've been checking out my S4, and have run into a couple of issues. First and foremost is that there seems to be a problem in the interaction between my jogs and the software.

| 12.12.2010 So ALL my grids are a Tad off | 4 | 12.12.2010 |
| OK so recently I got platinum notes and ran the majority of my library thru it. Platinum notes for those that do not know normalizes tracks, it adjusts volumes, gain, etc. on all your tracks and creates a new track. So I cleared out my collection and imported about 4,000 newly processed tracks. … | ||
