Great review! Any news about next iOS Traktor version?

[GamingAuthorityVideo]

Im new to the dj scene so this question might b stupid. Does the tracktor s2 mk3 have slicer effect?

[dharmaboy]

Good video. How do you tell the S2 to put the effects on the playing track to be faded out and not on the new track coming in?

[stevied]

What rca cable are you using? There seems to be a 1/8 jack socket, not the mic, what’s that for please? Thanks

Hi, why do i have high low and mid functions blocked?

[Thommy_]

I have traktor scratch a6, can I use this controler with a6 as a mixer?

[EstaPolyesta]

2 things that are not so great in the new design. I keep hitting 8 and with me many other people. And the tempo faders are now not on the lateral sides, like mirrored like before. Now the A-deck has the tempo fader in the right side of the deck. In dark clubs I often misgrap it for the deck fader and we get tracks speeding up and down unintended.

This S2 has also limited sound quality, so maybe it is club ready, but i guess for a small club.

The tempodaders are tiny and fragile.

I like: 8 hot cue buttons and the 3'd deck workaround with the sample button.

I am sometimes forced to use the S2 when I fly because the new S4 is too large and heavy for hand luggage on the plane. Been refused many times.
I find my self turning back to S4 MK2, because the S2... i find it flimsy and fragile and I am not happy about the options for sound.

I also don't like the LPF/HPF filter thing. The old one was just fine.

is there a way to change the A and B l.e.d. meter to display master volume in the software options ?

[PhilipDViolin]

Hi nice review ! Question how do we resolve the low headphone issue of the mk3 version ? I read somewhere that by using the charger volume is increased significantly ... is that correct ? Thanks ! Philippe

[masterblaster]

Can filter resonance be changed in traktor settings?

[Vamvacas]

How can i fast forward the traks with shift and the jog wheel like for example s4 mk2 ?

[abdecv]

i am having a problem with lower volume on deck b. tried the same music/file on both decks (same gain on decks)... on traktor pro 3 and traktor dj. have an idea on what is happening? (i could equalize with the gain button, but deck b is 100% gain e deck should be around 50-60%% gain)

[fredeton]

Anyone know how many pc, laptops you can download traktor pro 3 too ?

[RB-mkun]

Great review!! are the mixer fx's independent from the filter or do you have to use them in tandem?

[mauquibzonedout]

Why does everybody keep doing a video of the S2 MK3 and not the S4 MK3...smh. Overall it's still a pretty good quick video review! 🧐

[KrasavkinRomanE]

Traktor dj programm (soft) supports? and ios devices. So if I buy s2mk3, will it work with iphone se and traktor dj for ios?

[Janniserie]

New IOS Traktors absence is bothering a lot :(

[djkebbe]

big mistake to not have a balanced xlr output, othervise good produkt,

[camranh_royal]

The newest S2 Mk3 is the plastically / flimsy cheaper quality of the S2 Mk2 ... so dissapointed

[amancalledcraig]

Warning this controller is not suitable for live gigs!

The Traktor S2 Mk3 has a very low output line level. This makes unsuitable for playing at live gigs. Why have you not mentioned this in your review?! I purchased and now have to return the product. Warning to anyone wanting to play this device live, don’t! The output level terrible, about 50% of would you need to connect to a club system. NI should hang their heads in shame releasing a product with such a massive flaw. It should come with the warning – "This is a toy, suitable for children only."
