S2 Mic Dilemma

[mistaRC]

I, like many, am disappointed that you can't use any effects on the mic on the S2. Is there any way to work around this? (that's relatively simple) I want to put a delay effect on the mic and maybe tweak things a little bit--kind of dub reggae style stuff.

The S2 Mk2 routes the microphone through Traktor so you can apply FX, but this is not possible with the Mk1. You can use a different sound card e.g. a Focusrite 2i4 and do all your audio routing through that instead.

I was under the impression that it's the opposite--the Mk1 routes the mic through Traktor but not the Mk2. I have the Mk2, so I wish what you said were true. Very confusing, indeed.

Set the Input Routing to send the Mic input to a Traktor deck, then apply FX as usual.

The Mk1 S2 routes the Mic directly to the Master output.

Oh, I see what you're saying. Use a track deck for the mic. Not ideal for the mix, ha. But what else can you do?
