You can use Traktor without the S4 connected. ---

Title changed. This is not a Traktor “problem” it is a Question. Unplug the S4 and Traktor will switch to use the laptops onboard soundcard. May I politely request that you read the Traktor and S4 manual before posting such a basic question. Maybe even get a little bit adventurous and try something before asking ??? ---

Come on now Karlos, you know we live in a feed me generation. Does anyone know if Traktor will work if I don’t have my laptop on? I just want to make wiki wiki without my computer. ---

Am I hungry yet? If so, could someone bring me some food? Not sure what I’m in the mood for - any recommendations? I’ve heard Indian food can be spicy but that was from someone from Canada - what do you think? ---
