    Default Need to hook up a Hercules controller to my S4? Help?

    Ok usually what I would do for plugging in any controller to my S4 is just hooking up their main out to my channel C or D by a rca cable obviously. BUT, if you look at the third or fourth picture, it shows the back. Notice how there are multiple main outs? Which one do I plug the rca's into so that it hooks up to my S4? Stuck here homies.

    either one depends on your setting inside traktor whether you set the output to 1 & 2 or 3 & 4

    anyways you can always just try it out if no sound switch output not too hard

    yea you should be fine it just depends on the way the settings are in traktor if you plug into 1 & 2 make sure the master in traktor is using 1 & 2 pretty simple.

    And why did you comment bump if your post is still on top of the forum, if its at the bottom or moved tp another page then you comment bump so it goes back to 1st page so people can see it

    Wait nevermind i read the wrong thing. BUt now i ran into another problem. The main out for the Hercules is the 1/4 to Xlr jack. I use that to go to my speakers and i believe the S4 only has one pair of 1/4 to xlr jacks (the ones on the main out). I dont think they have them for the channel c and d?

    Why are you plugging in a Hercules controller to a S4? The S4 can't be used as a stand alone mixer everything is routed through Traktor. Unless you are using 2 computers. The only way to do this with 1 computer is to use ASIO4ALL drivers on PC and route your audio. um...... Assuming you are using 2 PC's with Traktor. On the Pc connected to the Hercules Controller go to settings and choose EXTERNAL MIXER. Then go to OUTPUTS and set Deck A to 1-2 and Deck B to 3-4. Connect RCA from Booth Out 1-2 on the back of the Hercules Controller.(that is Deck A) to the S4. Then connect RCA from output 3-4 (that is Deck B) to the S4. On the pc running the S4 go to settings and set Deck C and D to Live Input. If your just trying to use the Hercules Controller to control Deck C and D then just create a new midi mapping....
