The best/worst thing happend to you using traktor?
As the title says, share the good and bad moments u’ve had with the S4!
The best time i hade with the S4 was at a pretty big club here in Sweden. Like 1000 people, and how nuts they went when i played Avicii - Levels.
The worst memory i’ve had with the S4 is when my traktor software went dead, back then i had a pirate version .. now i’ve learned! PAY FOR YOUR SOFTWARE! xD
Good happen, when i loop Billie Jean with another song, the people dont understand what song it is until the heavy base in the song starts. many of those moments
Bad, When i forgot to disable the keyboard and pressed “s” key when i thought the search field was selected. Stopet the song and silence…
Played with it at a pretty big venue here, one of my best sets to date and it was a warm up, people loved it.
Bad thing, back in the day played with my BCD the night I got it. Audio drops all night long baby! There weren’t many optimization guides back then so, needles to say, I didn’t shut ACPI off or USB energy management. The next night I had a clean XP boot that used only 80mb of ram. You learn the hard way
Best-- Rocking my first party and having all my friends/strangers dancing all Night!
Worst— Listening to the sloppy mixing the next day of the same set, Ohh well, got to break your cherry somehow!
best:
unplanned 3 min. build up out of 2 tracks and 3 samples on the fly b4 dropping an old but massive track
worst:
1st track in the set i realize that i played with some settings the day b4, loaded the other setting file..
1st+few track loads in the deck, i load 3 samples hit the CUE button for deck D put on my headphones full and started the 3 samples.. yeah u can guess what happened… thy blast fully on the main out totally off key,tempo and everything
fader on D is down all the way
Preferences → Loading → Resetting Controls → Reset all mixer controls when loading track
was set in that Settings File 4 some reason and apparently that reset the fader 4 deck D to fully on in the software all though the hardware fader on the s4 was down.. if i had notched it like a millimeter the software would have read out the correct fader position and adjusted it. DAMN…
but with that setting on, it had 2 happen sooner the later…
Good: Almost everytime I have a mix session, I love the thing
Bad: forgetting that Traktor is the active window before typing (I do internet radio stuff so I chat on IRC when I got a few seconds for IDs etc) and everything goes nuts & also leaning over to use my mouse and the coiled headphone cable is just about heavy enought to press down on the play button and stop the deck
