S8 dramas

Hey can anyone help I'm new to this.

First of all i have taken leap to tractor s8.

but so far a disaster. occasionally my stems just don't work as stem. the just play and the faders do jack shit.

Also with the remix decks I'm using the for 1 shot vocal snippets, but is there a way off manually setting the remix deck bpm to its own tempo.

nightmares with my new unit.

I'm using a 2012 macbook

Can't say much about the S8 but...
You can enable the MIDI mode in your S8 and try to map faders, just to make sure they are working at all.

Tempo can be changed manually at any deck far as I know. There is a BPM button next to the display.
