![]() ![]() I’m still rocking it with my old tank MK1 S4 :). I’d like to see the browser improved in particular the favorites bar at the top, I wish we could have banks of favorites that we could scroll through so for example you could have 10 playlists in a favorites bank for house,scroll or click to next bank you have 10 playlists for mobile gigs,scroll to next bank you have 10 playlists for rnb and hip hop.etc etc,this IMO would be a massive benifit to people who play different types of gigs.Īnd finally great to see a video of Ean and traktor again,would love to see more of these in the future. This would remove the need to run the s4 through a regular mixer in order to have backup on mobile gigs!Īlso its great that traktor are doing stems but thats not for me,therfore I feel that NI are leaving behind and not catering to a heck of a lot of their users. I wish the mixer was standalone especially for mobile gigs then if the laptop packed in you could still run a backup source through the s4 whilst you sorted things out.I don’t think this is possible but maybe someone on here can enlighten me? The gain controls are a bit bizzare I wish they were like gains on a regulur mixer. I originally started using traktor with the x1 and the clib mixer.Great setup easy to use and easy to fit in a cranped dj booth.I found with the x1 I could more or less do everything and more that I could on a pair of cdjs minus scratching and spinbacks.įor mobile gigs and often in bars I now use an s4mk2.I find it great with a few exceptions,as Ean mentioned the headphones are a bit low. ![]() I’ll second the other points though – we should expect a USB hub on the next model (preferably 4 USB ports), and SND/RECEIVE would also be nice. There’s a ton of options out right now, but the one in my head still doesn’t exist. It seems like the S4 is the best “portable, all in one” controller for folks who really still feel the need to manipulate the BPM, but the compromise is the lack of stem control, lack of remix control. I’ve been looking at the combo of Z2 + a pair of D2s, just to get a modular setup with more flexibility over a variety of needs, but even that has a compromise (lack of full knobs/faders for the C/D decks). At least then it would cover 100% of the bases with no need for external decks/CDJs. Often I wish the S4 and S8 would make a baby to include solid jog wheels and tempo faders. I use my Technics 1210s alongside the controller so I can have the complete control, but when packing for gigs it’s a lot to carry, and takes up a lot of space.
