tractor S4MK2 & traktor DJ lacking low end? Posted on: 22.11.2013 by Rolf Finocchiaro i recently changed over form the audio 8 and my laptop (using the x1) to the S4MK2 & traktor DJ- and the low end seems to be lacking seriously.. is this an app thing with the iPad or the S4's sound card? to be fair.. haven't tried the S4 with my laptop yet.. and using 1/4 ins with a coupler for my mackies into S4. Any direction would be helpful.Thanks! | |

| Evalyn Voges 23.11.2013 | There's minimal difference between S4 and other outputs, barring a little bit of audio colouring. Yes, running your audio through an Allen & Heath Xone:92 will sound more pleasant, but there's no reason you should be missing any low end. Are there audio output options that might have the quality set low? Check the obvious like filters being zeroed or EQs properly set. Have you tested the speakers with other input sources? |
