Hooking up turntables to the S4?
Planning on getting 1 or 2 Technics 1200’s. Do i need anything else like extra wires to be able to hookup the turntable(s) to the S4 or do the turntables come with that? Thanks.
Also what should my final settings say for example:
External Mixer
No timecode
etc.
short answer, probably.
long answer. google.
(sorry its early and i havnt had my coffee yet.)
should have the phone leads and the ground cable with the turntable, thats all you need, then set up the timecode on the software, or if your just playing normal vinyl set the flavour of each deck to “live input” and away you go 
This, you’ll just need a couple of RCA cables.
This. To clarify what Photojojo said, you do not need extra RCA’s, just the RCAs built in (they are soldered onto the board inside the tech 1200s, you don’t plug them into it like a CDJ) and the ground wire lead. Also, keep in mind that this setup will not sound as warm as through a decent mixer since Traktor’s internal mixer is… well… meh.
i find it sounds fine with my vestax turntables running thru it, whether im playing the timecode vinyl or true vinyl. The leads on mine are fully de-tatchable both the rca’s and the ground wire’s. Yeah your good to go with what you have my friend
hey guys i got a question, i have my tables hooked up to my s4. theyre on decks c &d. i have control of the vol faders n eq but sound still comes through no matter where i place the crossfader. stumped n looking for answers. tnx
Look at the ABCD on either side of the crossfader. They define which channel is assigned to which side of the crossfader. should be AC on the left and BD on the right.
only a/b are assigned on the cf. the c/d are blank
You should be able to click on them to turn them on.
gotcha through the onscreen cf settings. Ty =)
Happy mixing
