Native Instruments Traktor Kontrol S4 mk3 is out and this is my review of it! A great Dj controller, updated to fit 2018. Great functions, great build quality and proboably a DJ controller to count on for years to come!
I go over some of my favourite functions, point out what I find extra special about the S4 and leave you with a short scratch session to show that its actually possible to scratch on this controller. I'm not saying its just like vinyl but its surely good enough to practice you basic stuff on.

Thanks for making an honest, practical review. I kept seeing people rant and rave about Traktor without really explaining the pros/cons. Ultimately, this just made me feel like they were biased towards the brand due to their own history. I like that you talk about what you like AND what you dont like. Ultimately, I decided Traktor wasnt for me at this point in time.

Damn I was so stoked to see you had a video covering this! I've followed your beat making / maschine tips for a while and I'm now starting to get into DJing. After extensive research I think I've decided on this controller, so I looked up reviews and clicked on this vid right away. Great review my friend, thank you for all that you do.

IS it possible to do a backspin that goes into full stop n windsup back playing foward (as it was playing). It was possible in some old Traktor Dj Studio 3 (I think it was 3). In that traktor Dj Studio you could grab the wave n flick/ spin that track backwards as fast as your mouse movement went n slowdown into fullstop n then windup into normal playback speed. Possible with the S4 MK3 jogwheels? TP 3 with mouse.. it starts the playback normally before going t a full slowed down stop.

@AccurateBeats 5 жыл бұрын

Maschine mk3 could be mapped to functions in the tractor software and function as a midi controler... But I make beats so is your machine for finger drumming and triggering one shot samples and breaks if I did a live show... Might do a video like that, thanks for the idea!

@moreorlesto 5 жыл бұрын

Nice review! There seems to be a decent amount of talk from users about the headphone volume not being loud enough, though. Does anyone know if the (recent) update to TP3 software addressed this? I'm currently a Serato controller user, but this controller caught my eye, and I'd like to know if it's worth it, or do I have to go back to finding a Serato controller that isn't a delicate piece of plastic (and don't say "Pioneer" - the DDJ SX3 has MAJOR problems, the SZ2 is out of my price range, and the others have really short pitch throws....)

@forgottenmohawks8734 5 жыл бұрын

Accurate Beats, I was wondering about the Traktor Kontrol S4. It has four pairs of RCA connectors on the back and I heard someone say that you could hook up turntables to the two of these on the channels not used for the jog wheels and use the S4 as mixer for these as well. Quite a while ago I bought two turntables and two Serato control vinyls. However I have not yet bought a mixer. Now I am thinking about saving up for the S4, and use it both for DVS scratching with the turntables, and also of course because I want to scratch with the jogwheels as well. Whether this makes sense or not, I don’t know. Anyway I was wondering if you could do a video where you hook up your turntables to the S4 and use the S4 with control vinyl for DVS scratching and comment on the experience. I guess the distance between the turntables and the faders might be awkward, but regardless of whether it turns out to be uncomfortable or a nice experience I think it would make for an interesting video that I am sure that other viewers would appreciate to watch as well. Please please, thank you :)

If you had a choice would you get this or the pioneer xdj rx 2 ?

@AccurateBeats 5 жыл бұрын

We have the rx2 at my job and It’s also an awsome product. I love that the RX2 is a standalone device and can play from usb sticks. The displays are also awsome but the moving jog wheels on the S4 is way better for scratching according to me. It really depends on what you’re looking for. I also think the Rx2 is a little too big for what it is. For home studio use and for bringing to small gigs I think the S4 wins. :)

just bought this and straight out the box i have had issues faders not showing the right tempo when loading new track until you moved the fader then the tempo would catch up, screen freeze on the info screens and all button on the controller had a 3 to 4 second delay. and traktor software still has issues with loading a new track that has stopped but traktor says track is still playing unable to load new track. this for me is not realliable for any professional set up. and so far ive spent over a £1000 on there gear. really disappointed.

This is what music has needed anyone who experienced the s4 mk 1 7 years ago will no doubt be like me bored with this new cool imagine coke snorting hipsters on cdjs or decks with zero creativity , turn the clock back to 2011 when the traktor revolution happened and have fun , A whole new level of djing was born then bullied out of the way by misery arses
