Reply to A few things I'd like some input on

Hey everyone,

just wanted to know if anyone is messing around there own mappings for the s4.


In my experience with the s4 so far compared to my denon x120 mixer and an X1 is that the s4 is more of a "fader mixer" then a "gain mixer"

I don't really mind the gain knobs being encoders with the click reset.

I try to keep all the levels 2 leds away from the clip and 1 away on master level.

I believe its kind of funny that the master knob doesn't actually change any levels?

Not a big deal I guess cause in most instances it would be easier to run the s4 into a mixer on a single channel, in which case you can monitor the clipping on the mixer.

Does anyone wanna share there approaches to keep the leveling in the ok zone?

Can you map the "on air" indicators for visual feedback?

Is there anyway to change the sensitivity of the jog wheels? At factor settings its ALMOST exactly 1 full turn for 4 bars. Its like.. 335/360 vor a full turn.

I was believeing of trying to emulate some scratching/juggling techniques and I came up with this:

Using a turntable to scratch is an absolute perspective while using a jog wheel that isnt motorized is a relative perspective. If I could get the jog to be percise enough (IE: 1 full rotation =4 bars) I might actually be able to come up with a musical arrangement.

Discuss!
