Using S4 as a Mixer??

Using S4 as a Mixer??
Posted on: 15.12.2011 by Christopher Smathers
Hey guys and gals,

I just bought some Stanton STR8-80s for bedroom use but I dont have a mixer. I know I can use the S4 as a Mixer but I just hooked everything up through my Audio 6 (to where I believe it goes) and upgraded to the newest Traktor Scratch but Traktor only recognizes my S4 jogwheels and not the Stantons. And to make things weirder, when I turn on my Moniters (which are going to the main outs of my S4) it gives me a really low buzz as if there is grounding...

Does anyone have any info on how to go about doing this?

thanks so much

As for the buzzing sound, I suggest getting an a/c ground lift adapter and see if that clears up the issue.
