No, they´re not installed in the clubs, that´s true. But what i really meant was that the Traktor s4 is a very professional controller that is used by many successful DJ´s. The dude asked if the controller could be used in clubs, of course it can! But if he asked if he would find a DJ controller in clubs then that would be another case.
I saw the reviews for the numark 4 trak and I feel its just a traktor version of the ns 6 with 2 pounds more of weight.at the same price.I would however consider the mc 6000 but a good dj needs to grow and virtual dj has been good to me, no regrets. thnks for the input blaze !!!
@RealDJblaze No there's no delay in the video, it's just i have a hercules RMX and no matter if i plug it into my pc (which is powerful) or my laptop theres a delay in button presses. So using the cue button is near enough impossible. Thanks for the help though!
@wollhead if your only going to buy the S4 like me, all you need is the S4 and the software that comes with it. Thats It! well obviously you need a sound system of some sort, but in the long run, if you were to buy a mixer and turntables and soundcards and software, it equals out just buying the S4. hope this helped
ok thanks, but what happens now in the new version of traktor where sample decks are replaced with remix decks? what do the play buttons of the samples do now in the new version? thanks i hope u reply soon.
Nice review man! I am 16 years old and I have used older versions of Traktor with a Numark x6; but most recently I've been using a Numark NS7. I am not an Analog Dj but mainly a well prepared, clean, solid dj mixer. I am looking to buy this to try to do fancier stuff and minor analog tricks. But would you recommend it to me.?
so is it bit annoying that u have to switch mic phone and headphone in between? or is there any settings we can do which allow us to speak through headphone on traktor s4 software?
Im 14 and want to start djing. was looking at vestax typhoon and the mix track pro which one would you recommend? Or what other good turntables are there for that price range? PLZ Help! THNKX!!!
@RealDJblaze Oh so this is just for playing your music at shows and such. Well what are djs doing during a show when they look really busy as if they were creating the song as it goes?
i definately need it to work without a computer. I would use Ipod, flash drive, computer, and possibly cds for playing. I work mostly with electronic stuff like dubstep or trap
Question: how can you have 4 track decks and 2 sample decks at the same time? ;O Traktor only supports 4 decks. My controller broke and im interested in buying a traktor controller and i was wondering why would i buy the s4 if the 2 extra decks are useless?. Thanks.
Hey I recently purchased my traktor s4 and idk wtf I'm doing, I really want to get to dj for a living but don't know the basics of my setup.. like for example my speakers cable wont fit in my traktor s4, is there some kind of cables or wire things i should buy?? >.< please answer
@wollhead Im 15 and actually just started djing, id prefer using something similar to the mixtrack pro by numark before using a traktor, and its really cheap too!
Great review, man! Thanks for giving a solid overview of this tool. But seriously: how about turning down the volume of the track playing while you're explaining? xD
I could use some help, when i try to turn on the effects in traktor pro 2, it wont let me click the 1 and 2 button on the screen to turn them on? Any suggestions?
Traktor will indeed lag mid ranged PC's but on Mac it runs smoothly never had issues with their products (the buttons becoming less sensitive to touch or wearing out) just wondering why the platters are rubbish iyo
this thing can party all the time, remeber the time with LPs to get the Bpm right, thats history. this is the pro dj set , aint gonna find better then this. just dont ruin the song with all the options you have,lol ps in the options you can make deck C and D visibel
Issues with the S4: Platters are rubbish. Traktor is temperamental and will lag most mid ranged PC's Takes a while for songs to read and load. Deck buttons have a lip around them making them less sensitive to touch, and the effects 1/2 buttons, as well as other frequently used buttons will wear out and become tedious to turn off and on quickly.
Thank you for this. Just picked one up the other day I know it’s old but I’ve never used anything like it so I’m gonna have fun 2024 baby.🎉😂😂😂
Thanks for watching all these years later!
The best Traktor Kontrol S4 I watched so far.
Oh, right on, man! I'll absolutely check out your other stuff and look forward to your S4MKII review.
I like how you call your bedroom or living room "The Lab". True Bedroom Producer terminology! I am much the same

Does this still works? The first generation of Native Instruments Traktor Kontrol S4?
this working good with windows vista? i see your using it, i use it too , just wanna make sure, thanks

Is there much delay or lag from pressing a cue button and actually hearing it? Or is that based on how powerful your pc is?

thx fam i appreciate it...one more question please. in order to allow mic phone to work , do you have to do any setting on it from traktor software?
whats the story with the microphone.. it it just the volume control u can use or can u apply it to a channel and set change the eq to suit your voice
Do you need to use the disc when playing live or is that just to install it?
for mixing songs as a DJ like at home or at small parties whats better?
Of course it is! Porter Robinson and Zedd is a few examples of artists that use the Traktor controller in proffesional clubs.
Nice review man!

Does it take away from this unit that it doesn't have a booth output. Does it really matter if i'm trying to go pro with this?
so is it bit annoying that u have to switch mic phone and headphone in between? or is there any settings we can do which allow us to speak through headphone on traktor s4 software?
Im 14 and want to start djing. was looking at vestax typhoon and the mix track pro which one would you recommend? Or what other good turntables are there for that price range? PLZ Help! THNKX!!!
how would you compare the s4 to the numark ns6?? which one would you buy if you wanted club standard??
@RealDJblaze Ohhh, I see. And by another device I assume you are again referring to the Native Instruments Maschine?
@RealDJblaze Oh so this is just for playing your music at shows and such. Well what are djs doing during a show when they look really busy as if they were creating the song as it goes?
i definately need it to work without a computer. I would use Ipod, flash drive, computer, and possibly cds for playing.

Would you recommend the s2 or s4 for someone wanting to start mixin and is still new
Hey I recently purchased my traktor s4 and idk wtf I'm doing, I really want to get to dj for a living but don't know the basics of my setup.. like for example my speakers cable wont fit in my traktor s4, is there some kind of cables or wire things i should buy?? >.< please answer
@wollhead
Im 15 and actually just started djing, id prefer using something similar to the mixtrack pro by numark before using a traktor, and its really cheap too!
hey does the s4 have inputs?
so that i can use my timecodes later when it will be supported?
or do i still need my audio 8 interface?
is this useful for begginers and can we use it in the clubs
Great review, man! Thanks for giving a solid overview of this tool. But seriously: how about turning down the volume of the track playing while you're explaining? xD

Do you like this over Numark NS6?
Can you actually create music with the S4? (i really know nothing about this stuff)
I could use some help, when i try to turn on the effects in traktor pro 2, it wont let me click the 1 and 2 button on the screen to turn them on? Any suggestions?

I need help with my controller
Traktor will indeed lag mid ranged PC's but on Mac it runs smoothly
never had issues with their products (the buttons becoming less sensitive to touch or wearing out)
just wondering why the platters are rubbish iyo
Depends on the person
@RealDJblaze
Hahah - It's pretty awesome.
how much is the controller in euros :)
the review would of been so much better if the music didn't sound so all over.... and the maybe subtitles but nice to have a look at the unit
How much was that!
how much is this ?
i love decks
Okay, cool, thanks.
Hey u got my speakers there well old lol Creative hahaha the silver ones
Hi all, the date of the Traktor Scratch Pro 2 is 1st of April 2011 all S4 Kontrol owners will get a free upgrade whoopie!!!!
you should just lower the vol next time when you talk we can hear you but , we will hear you better if u just lower it but thanks for the vids
Dj Blaze, huh? Very...original.
this thing can party all the time, remeber the time with LPs to get the Bpm right, thats history. this is the pro dj set , aint gonna find better then this. just dont ruin the song with all the options you have,lol ps in the options you can make deck C and D visibel
Issues with the S4: Platters are rubbish.
Traktor is temperamental and will lag most mid ranged PC's
Takes a while for songs to read and load.
Deck buttons have a lip around them making them less sensitive to touch, and the effects 1/2 buttons, as well as other frequently used buttons will wear out and become tedious to turn off and on quickly.
Thumbs up if you started jamming out to Ye at 5:46 . Or am I just the only weird guy that did.
s4
899 Euro on NI
why don't you lower the volume when you are talking instead of shouting !
how fucking sexy is that controller
@RealDJblaze wtf???? really? O_O
man that thing is sexy
wtf?
Is just the normal cue button very responsive on the S4 like a pioneer cdj?
