A thing that has bothered me is that A + C and B + D is allocated to each side on the S4. I wanted to override this and remove C and D from the x-fader, but didn't figure out by my self how to do this.
I found the solution at Traktor Bible.

Weekend update
Posted on 02:02 by Unknown
I've been off grid this weekend and I'm here to update you on what's been happening this weekend online about Traktor.
DJ Techtools has a great post about online tutorials for Traktor, and they've listed a couple of nice videos.
Chech it out here
DJ Techtools also did a superb video on how to emulate Scratching using cuepoint juggeling. I take off my hat to Ean who explain his technique on how

Got problems with data drops and crackeling when playing with your Traktor Kontrol S4? Well... I do and I just bought a new computer that's the badest piece of HW out there.

Traktor Virtual MIDI port
Posted on 03:23 by Unknown
I wrote about the Traktor setup with Ableton earlier and since I now have an extra computer I use seperate computers for the different programs and the MIDI sync works perfectly.
Only on Macs... :(
Today I tried setting the system up on one computer like they did in the Dubspot video. However this will not work with a PC!
THE VIRTUAL MIDI PORT IS ONLY AVAILABLE ON MAC!
The solution for PC:

DJM 900 nexus Official Introduction with James Zabiela
Posted on 00:17 by Unknown
A bit late, but still... This mixer just looks awesome!
There are some new effect. Personally I really enjoy the new reverb effects and the Gate/compression effect is just amazing. The new melodic effect looks like a very interesting effect for those who want to elevate your tracks to a level never before possible.
I haven't been all that excited about Pioneer products the last couple of years,

Using one turntable on four decks in Traktor (Repost)
Posted on 08:34 by Unknown
I looked at some of the "new features" listed in the article by DJTechtools about Traktor Pro 2 and figured I had to repost the videos from one of my earliest posts.
It says in one of the additional features:
Multiple decks can now use the same CD or turntable input.
It's possible through the midi mapping to do this in Traktor Pro aswell.
The reason I made the video was to show that it's

Pioneer Nexus is released
Posted on 16:09 by Unknown
The new Pioneer DJM-900 Nexus
The Nexus was realy portrayed in the teaser video as an effects controller, but in fact it was an entire new mixer: The Pioneer DJM-900 Nexus!
This will probably become the new club standard by the end of 2011...
I think it's the best looking mixer they've produced so far.
The best thing is that Pioneer DJM-900 has got Traktor support! It's simply made for DVS
The other day I tried out Ableton Live for the first time. I found some tracks and just added them and tried to do some easy mixes. As I went through the different tracks I found that I had added an old track that is not played on click (Tempo is all over the place).
However... When I tried it out the beats matched perfectly! I was stunned about how good the timestretch in the software was.

Pioneer NEXUS
Posted on 02:49 by Unknown
Pioneer looks to be preparing to release an effect processing unit pretty soon.
Can't see the need for further effects then what's in Traktor, but there might be some place to fit this in aswell. The EFX series from Pioneer where a pretty big deal when they released them and I loved them, so I'm looking forward to see what this unit is.
They mask it pretty good in the video, but the format looks

Posted on 00:45 by Unknown
Since Traktor S4 needed som extra processing power and I needed to get a new computer. My old Traktor computer was just laying there, so after about a millisecound of thinking of what to do with it I reinstalled everything and installed Ableton.
I got so many MIDI controllers that I can use for this purpose (M-Audio Trigger Finger, Akai LDP-8, Korg Nanopad +++) so I figured I had to try it out.

Instant Gratification Midi-Fighter Mapping
Posted on 22:20 by Unknown
If you realy want to make some bad ass mapping for Traktor, you should probably take a look at the mapping files for this sweet setup that DJ Techtools did for MidiFighter.
They use alot of cross mappings, macros and midi modifiers for getting different combinations out of the relative limited number of buttons. This opens a whole new world of opertunity and the options are mindblowing.

Rumor: Audio 10 DJ and Audio 6 DJ
Posted on 06:18 by Unknown
A DJ friend of mine has some contacts at a supplier. He said that there are some new rumors about the upcoming soundcards from Native Instruments. They are to be launched pretty soon!
The two new soundcards are meant for the new upcoming software and will have 3 and 5 stereo inputs and outputs. Apearently the new system will have some kind of aux functions and will be pretty close to Traktor S4,
