  • I need your Opinion

    Numark Mixtrack Pro or Traktor Kontrol S2 ?

    Please Reply

  • @Jeremy1996x I just bought the S2 and ive had it for just about a day now, ITS AMAZING! <3

  • Your honest opinion

    DDJ-Ergo by Pioneer or Traktor Kontrol 2? Which one would you choose?

    Im having a hard time deciding

  • jogFX is not working while I press shift -.-

  • Hi armyofme4340! I just got my S2! And I am super excited to try this thing out. But I've got a little (actually big) crisis going on. When I connect S2 to my laptop and power cord, nothing lights up except for the USB indicator LED. Nothing seems wrong even when I check the configuration section. It all says that my S2 is connected. But I cannot get this thing to work. None of the buttons work! I NEED YOUR HELP! :( THNX!

  • Soooo am I going to have to buy monitor speakers for the s2? or can I hear the audio through my computer? Currently using a Razer Megalodon headset, which Traktor Pro2 recognizes, but when I chose them under audio device the software crashes lol.

  • All about adding flavor!! That's what i like to hear, nothing better than tasty mixes!!

  • is there a way to switch between my mapping and your mapping using shift and shift? if so how do i set it up like that?

  • what should i buy in the 6000-700$ range im 13 and i want to start to dj at parties and events any ideas?

  • @ShowTiimee123 I would say go for it its a nice way to begin,but first of all start to discover traktor so you dont have to do that anymore when you finnaly bought it.

    Succes !

  • One more thing,i want your honest opinion about this:is there a very big difference between S2 & S4 besides the fact that you can mix using 4 decks and have thoes extra sample buttons on the S4?

    Thanks!

  • You are very good at explaining and you have a really nice voice,its a pleasure watching your videos.

    I really hope you will make a few tutorials on the TK S2 for beginners......show a few examples of; mixing 2 tracks....how to use the samples since s2 doesn't have extra buttons for samples like the s4.....and a few basics stuff which you think it will help us,the beginners,to start our "journey" into mixing.

    I'm 100% you will make a lot of people very happy.

  • Yo...quit sayin' flavor.

  • @Empude Flavour is a great way to describe it, Jog on

  • banna!

  • Dear Armyofme4340 - when will you be releasing a next vide? Your vids are great and it's already been 4 months..... we want more... we want more... we want more!

  • @koningwoning Coming soon. I promise.

  • By far the Best Video I have seen Yet on showing how things work! keep up the awesome work!

  • make a new vid :)

  • I'm looking at getting into dj'in just for a hobby i just bought my macbook pro and was wondering which would b better the s4 or s2 and also can you record on s2???

  • @slingyboy You can record with the S2. Actually the recording happens inside of traktor so it doesn't matter what gear you work with. I would say for a beginner the S2 is better.

  • @armyofme4340 thanks for getting back to me man leanin more towards the s2 now after getting some feedback

  • @slingyboy get the s2. you said your getting one for a hobby, so I'm assuming you have no background knowledge with a turntable controller. don't bust $600 on a piece of equipment that might be of interest for you. it's safer to get the s2, AND it being a beginner board PLUS still the top of the line controller out there, you'll learn easier and get good over time.

  • @slingyboy I think it's much more beneficial getting the S4. With computer Djing it is so much easier to do four deck mixes so you'll be doing them within a few weeks of learning. I promise that you'll want to upgrade to the S4 not long after getting the S2!

  • I love what you did with the Jog Wheel, using Beatmasher emulating scratch mode, very clever :)

  • downloaded ur map... its great! just got the s2 and can't figure out how to get the effects to work when im not in midi mode any help? also i cant get this map and ean goldman's jog wheel effects to work at the same time any help? thanks

  • Very well made video with great detail - keep it up!

  • how do you get rid of this mapping???

  • DOWNLOAD is not working? :(

  • really great

  • How do i get rid of these mappings? cause when in normal mode, no effects work only on midi mode with your effects, PLEASE RESPOND!!

  • i cant wait to try this out when i get my replacment s2 this weekend i love how much detail you describe and how you take your time in the video good job :)

  • Sweet vid

  • So much "flavor" ha

  • Love your voice, your voice give a extra flavor to my life!!!!!! ; )

  • Hey i have a traktor s4.... and i was wondering if it works for that one? :D

  • SHIFT AND SHIT 0:16 ?

  • which do you prefer ...the s2 or the s4.? looking to switch from xponent and torq/virtual dj to traktor and one of the kontrol units

  • epic

  • hey sweet tutorial, and thanks for posting your awesome TSI. OK, quick question. I have your TSI loaded into traktor and have restarted/reimported a few times. I can see your custom mapping in my drop-down menu of custom mappings. however, I can't for the life of me figure out how to switch on the fly. how do I do this? thanks!!

  • @rgdalessandro press shift and shift on the controller

  • @armyofme4340 thanks for the quick reply. I had to enable that shift+shift option under the S2 tab in preferences (it is not on by default). it works now! only trouble is... when I switch BACK to my standard control, the my FX options are all scrambled up from what my default is. I'll be trying to find a work around. thanks.

  • hey!! very kool effects, only thing is when i use your mapping and when i use sync, tracks jumps a little, and it sound horrible, anyway to fix this?

    Thank you:)

  • thank you!

  • nice ..... thanks to share

  • Has anyone mapped the s2 to 4 decks? Is there a reason I can't find a skin like that???

  • love ur vids! u should make more :)

  • @holabotaz LOL!

  • Does this work with Widows 7?Please need help.

  • @glylon70 Yea.

  • dude i love you, thanks for the mappings :D

  • hey armyofme i need some help! i cant figure out how to turn on effects 3 and 4 on my s2 when i have fx units on ! HELLP PLEASE :D

  • How to you get your effect's lined up like that on traktor, like I have 3 next to them how do you get them like that, please reply..

  • Hi, i have download the amazing mapping, but i can only get the effects on the effect knobs on each deck, but jog wheels dont change? What am I doing wrong? How do i get your effects on my jog wheels?

  • which individual effect makes up the swoosh to echo out chain effect? thanks

  • Has anyone got this to work with the S4 yet? Having difficulties...

  • Hey i just bought the tractor s2 and a macbook pro.

    Can you message me help me figure out how to sign effects to the knobs i like those effects but can't figure out how to sign them to my controller.

    Much appreciation.

  • Can I remap your config onto my M-Audio Xponent? Not sure if u're using 14-bits/midi&normal mode switch, which will cause this config only to work on the S2/4...?

  • could you PLEASE make an S2 mapping where when u switch to midi mode and deck a turns into deck c and deck b turns into deck d? so its like an S4. :)

  • 4 ppl dont hav flavr

  • i think you like the word "flavor" :D

  • 4 serato users don't like it!

  • @armofme Thanks for making your hard work available to everyone on here.. This so close to perfect for me except that with these mappings installed, my S4 will only sync to the midi clock. I am in Auto mode, if the controller is disconnected then the playing deck automatically becomes the master but connect the controller and it just won't do it. Sync still works but only to midi as the master unless of course I am doing something reaaaallllyyyy stupid?

  • ok how do i download these mappings. like i click the download and i have powerpoint on my mac and it like downloads to power point ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh help. i have traktor pro 2 just got it yesterday. help me i need these mapping.

  • hmmmm?? this absolutely teaches nothing...... cos it sounded so good all i could do was JUMP JUMP lol

  • do you know if this is compatible with the s4 too?

  • @sean3711 wondering same thing HELP!!!!

  • I'm not able to use effects like you, I don't know why knobs don't work proprely as yours. Do you now why?

  • Btw, do I plug it in via USB in my computer?

  • Do I need to push down the little button under the effect knob to turn the effect on? Or is it just to spin the effect knob up? =)

  • Great Video, Your a Natural!

  • First of all you ROCK !!! Fantastic work ...

    Will you release this mapping also for S4 ???

  • HELP the mapping is on my midi controller, but none of them work (no sound when I twist knows)

  • the mappings dont work, its just all these random effects :/

  • you know what would be badass...

    if you can make your own customized effect on traktor

  • how do you get the FX to shift back to their prior positions/effects after you turn each of your knobs back to their zero positions?

  • hey how do i get into midi mode, not sure what u mean by pressing "shift and shift"

  • hi was wondering how you were about to assign different knobs for control effects? what do you have to do, im so confused. im extra intrested in ramping the jog wheels to control effects so it would be great if you could clear things up for me!

    thanks

  • wont work for me. NI traktor s2 Traktor Pro 2.1.2

  • MOAR FLAVER

    

  • Rate, comment and what?? MEHHHH!!!

  • Wow! Can you make one for the S4? You're the best!

  • Im new but what is mapping?

  • Very Cool!!! Would be awesome to map my S4 like that, can I use the same mapping that you have done?

  • @ehhilboldt yes

  • @armyofme4340 so i imported the mapping and everything is layer out correctly, but for some reason the knobs aren't getting mapped to your settings. For example, the sweep/drama effect. In your video you turn one knob and it runs three effects simultaneously....on mine, when i move the knob for the sweep/drama effect it only controls the beatmasher. I have tried re-importing it like 10 times, and have no idea what to do. A little help would be much appreciated. Thanks

  • @armyofme4340 You can edit mappings in S4!? From a review I just read you dont have much flexibility on S4!

  • @RockstahRolln - you can edit mappings in S4 as easily as in S2. Both were built for traktor.... Normally ANY DJ gear that you use with tracktor - you can change the .tsi file of. It's just that chained mappings to one button/knob often is quite difficult to set. But that's a Traktor pro prob. Not S2 or S4 prob

  • Thx alot!!

  • how do u add effects to your samples ?

  • @chretien91 just turn on that effect unit for deck C or D

  • @armyofme4340 how do u turn effects on for deck C+D? i cant get it :(

  • not liking that flavor

  • great work! i am a new owner of S2. Can you tell me how can i control sampler deck fro the hardware? Gain, eq & filter knob i mean

    Thanks!

  • How old are you? im not hating im just curious

  • :)

  • Loads a flavor!

  • just ordered my S2 along with a MidiFighter, can't wait to try out this awesome mapping. Also very interested to see the video you'll be making on acapella's! Sub'd

  • the two tracks are mental !!!:D

  • Thank you for this vid P!!! You are wicked! I spent a whole night reverse engenieering your TSI to adapt to my Controllers. It was so much fun, and a nice addition to my routine. After doing that, I just had to check your other vids, and wow! you're a smart cookie! Keep up the excellent work lady. And Cheers from Canada :D ttyl

  • these are awesome sounding effects combos! i just finished editing the mapping to work with 2 FX instead of 4, because i like to have FX 1 in group mode and FX 2 in single mode in native mode, that way they dont change when the knobs are turned and i dont loose my mind resetting everything :) looking forward to more vids keep it!!

  • why don't thecue sample buttons, play button or tempo controls work in midi mode?

  • @ckrul20 You will need to map those. Like the video explains midi mode is a blank slate. You need to map it to your liking.

  • @armyofme4340 lots of thanks for the help im new to traktor. im also having a hard time finding acapellas of popular songs. do you know any good sites that offer good acapellas for mixing?

  • @ckrul20 I will be doing a video that will cover this. A complete guiding to finding, prepping, and mixing acapella's. Stay tuned and subscribe to the channel.

  • Very good tutorials Priscilla!! You really know everything about S4 and house music :D

    I want to find some girl like you x__x

  • thanks for the great introduction! I'm habing issues though with the mapping. I can load it onto Traktor fine, but I can't play any songs with the mapping. All the controls on the software work fine but the track simply won't play. Is there a solution to this problem?

  • not enough flavor

  • Nice tutorial, thanks. I'm fan of prodigy too and chemical brothers soI have two questions about this mapping:

    1. Wich FX did you use in single mode for glitch?

    2. Will you answer my first question please?

  • I'm going to buy the S2 next months ......I found your S2 tutorials the best on tube ,

    thanks a lot for sharing ur time teaching us how to properly use this toy :)

  • great vid, subscribed and keep it up

  • great!

  • I can't get this mapping to work. I have no idea why but when I reimport it my s2 just stops working at all, nor knobs neither buttons don't work. also effects didn't load in properly. do you have any idea how I could get this mapping to work?

  • You should teach this to Ean Golden. Nice f'n mapping. Can you post a tutorial please?

  • awesome video and effects, can these be used for the s4?

  • "flavor flavor flavor" Really though, great videos.

  • Will ist software work on windows xp?

  • I had this mapping working on my s4, but it doesn't seem to work after updating to 2.1.1.

  • Amazing video, so helpful as I just bought an S2 and am having trouble with mapping. I had one question, how would I take the custom mapping you have in this video, but make the jog wheel function the basic 'seek' so I can find points in my tracks with it. Sorry if this is a very basic question, struggling a little bit.

  • @jacobt80 Just go into the mappings and find the command. Delete it and add one that says List Select Up/Down. Unfortunately it's not easy to describe this over youtube. You'll have to play with it.

  • @armyofme4340 thanks! I understand, I'll try my best in finding which ones to delete/add, really appreciate these videos and tutorials

  • I think you're beautiful

    the voice and your choice in music the one I've been waiting for :)

  • excause me miss but you are GRREEAAATT, faved, liked! Keep up the great work, really helped me out a lot

  • 30 seconds in and I've already heard the term "on the fly".

    Just like every other youtube video about DJ gear!

  • one of THE best tutorials I have seen on Youtube - thanks

  • @dizzy67 Thanks Dizzy. More coming soon, make sure you subscribe.

    Thanks.

    P

  • Thanks for great video.

    But i don't understand what did you mean the big import button and small button.

    I can't import the mapping :(

  • how can you make this efekt whit you jog weels at 7min 49sek ?? i am relly stupid i have youst get my S2 last week . and I know I can change the various things on my jog weel .. but what should I change my jog weel to get this efekt? and how xD!? :D!

  • All fixed with a couple of deletes and re-imports

  • @chivi32 May i know what's the SW ver. you have?

  • @prodigy096 im running sw ver. 2.1.1.11533

    big import button is at the bottom of your preference page next to the setup wizard and the small import is in your controller manager drop down menu

  • @chivi32 Thanks, but i still can't import the mapping.

    drop down menu in device setup?

  • hey Priscilla I've been studying your video and found that my effects don't react the same as yours do in the video. It seems that they don't activate till you stop turning the knob or release. your effects seem to activate as soon as you turn your knob and/or jog wheel. when turning the jog wheel in the video it seem to build up the effect the more you turn it.

  • @chivi32 I would do a full import again and and restart traktor a couple of times. I've never had anyone have that issue.

  • Hi Priscilla,

    Dont know why "learn" doesn't respond to any of the knob turns. After switching to midi mode on the s4, accessing the controller manager, pressing "learn", twisting or pressing according buttons or knobs on the s4 doesn't seem to do anything. could you please tell me how to do this? (I would assume this is how you do it to make the mapping compatible to the s4).Thanks a bunch

  • @syhan0920 I had that problem in the beginning and could never figure out why. But if you open up your controller editor and move the midi port from external to internal that should do the trick.

    Thanks.

    P

  • Hey I don't have a Mac. Will these still work?

  • @KeithAHernandez. It's really hard to explain it with words. I would suggest you to look at Priscilla's previous videos the sweep and drama effect from there you will get the details you need. I hope that helps you.

  • @zope2007 I figured it out!  I just reinstalled the older Traktor Pro 2.0.1 and everything works amazingly well! Thanks though!

  • @keithAHrnandez you need to press shift and then browse in order to change the S4 to MIDI. Cheers. Btw you will only need to change the effect name to delay and change the effect channel to 3. Everything else works like a charm.

  • @zope2007 Hey thanks for the response! Hey I'm fairly new to midi mapping. Is there any way you could give me step by step instructions? I'm in the controller editor and see the S4 mappings for this mapping but as far as what to click on or how to change it i'm lost..........any help would greatly be appreciated.

  • or could you please make a video for the S4? I really like your effects!

    Thanks in advance!

  • AWESOME VIDEO! This might sound dumb but I'm using the S4 and downloaded the tsi file but my question is how do I switch to midi mode on the S4?

    I seen you said to press the shift button, does it matter if it's right or left shift or which other button?

  • -_- god dammit, i bought an S4 :(

  • @rutierut These mappings work for the S4 as well. See below as someone imported them to the S4 and everything worked.

  • @armyofme4340 YEEEAAHHHAA

  • Great video! I hope that you upload more videos in the future. I don't have a s4/2 but I do have a couple of x1 and I,m going to use this info. Peace and thank you.

  • Hi was just wondering do you get paid anything by youtube to stick up movies.... just because someone I know has less video views and claims to make quite a lot of money a year for her youtube account, Thanks in advance, Dj stifffy (djtt)

  • worked perfectly for the s4.. no need to change anything..i did doa couple more things with effects, basically setting the cue buttons on the bottom to enable modifers...so i could have even more effects :)

    still want a midifighter pro though..i want super knobs!! on the s4

  • This chick rocks!

  • been waiting forever for the sweep and echo. just downloaded the tsi file but doesnt work on the s4. none of the effects turns on. can you set it for the s4 by anyway. i would love to have these effect on the s4.

  • Ah... no ^^ Thanks for your quick answer :)

  • Hi, the mapping doesn't work, I have the Kontrol S2 and 2.1 version..

    I have followed your instructions but the effects doesn't work as they work in your video, the jogwheel are always configured with the traktor default mapping.. Sorry if I made mistakes, I'm french ;)

  • @baron1305

    are you in midi mode ?

  • @baron1305

    switch to midi mode by pressing both shift buttons simultaneously, then try the jog wheels

  • you're fantastaic

  • Hi Priscilla,

    great video. Please share your TSI as well on traktorbible com/freaks, the worlds largest portal with Traktor mappings.

    Thanks

    Rainer

  • @TraktorBible Will do Rainer.

  • @armyofme4340 Thanks! (As no HTML is allowed in the mapping desription on my mappings portal, I will add a link to your video manually, if thats okay for you)

  • hi, i have an hercules rmx, and would like to route effects to jog wheel as you do, how can i do it? the one in 8:45 how can i do it?

  • @TerritorioDance You can't map it like that on the RMX as it doesn't have touch sensitive jog wheels. The S2 can send a message when you apply pressure to the jog and when you move it.

  • i'm thinking op upgrading to an S4, can i use this mapping on the S4?

  • @Mhuberts I'm not 100% sure. If the midi messages match then yes. If not you can go in and change them to the S4.

  • @armyofme4340

    hey dude let me now if they work out for you,i have s4 too,don't want to install anything unless they work straight off,i'm not great with the hole mapping thing...

  • Hi Priscilla...love your effects! DJ Distraction of Cebu, Philippines here.

    Can you teach me how to do this on S4...I've got S4.

    (btw, I'm always using the build up effects that you posted here long time ago)

  • @rainierjp Hey, thanks for the kind words. Try downloading this mapping and check to see if it works with the S4. If it doesn't then just download the TSI and change the values to match the ones on the S4. Select the effect and click learn then just twist the knob on the S4.

  • Awesome video!!! Thank you so much!!! I use most of these effects but the parameters u use for the transpose stretch sound much better than mine... I'm planning to do a video on the effect combos that I used... on the mean time check out my profile and look for the video called "controllerism with maschine"

  • i haz a question im thinking of upgrading my gear to an apc 40 and a sound card

    ive been using the numark total controll an mpk mini, and a korg nano kontrol .

    and i want to start controlerisim and i think the apc 40 is perfect for djing because it has a crossfader but, hsince the s2 came out im having second thoughts between the 2
