I have the S2 and i'm not sure how to engage the snap feature. Can you help me out?

[DubSpot]

@Mnstr3nergy21 You can do it in the software by clicking on the S under the "Main" knob in the global section. You can also just map it to any button on the controller by yourself.

Does traktor saves any of the loops from the loop recorder anywhere in my computer? Or is that a one shot thing.

[DubSpot]

@mettlddomami I know it saves the audio of the loops from the loop decks, not sure if it does it for the loop recorder. I'll ask Endo and get back to you.

what type of headphones do you need to record throught them like in the vid???

[DubSpot]

@beatjugglez you can use any headphones, but they will never sound good compared to a microphone.

Is it possible to sample from my s4 directly to the maschine? i have them hooked up to each other through midi with no audio interface.

[DJPeopleSkills]

@Mnstr3nergy21 I also have an S2 and have mapped one of my loop in/out buttons to a shift function that engages the snap feature

@ArtPitchBlack with the loop recorder set the input for the loop recorder to be "Aux" by clicking underneat the gain knob, then set your "Aux" input in the input routing section of the preferences.

[DeeJayEndo]

@ArtPitchBlack You might have to set your Deck to be a Live Input and set your input routing up in Preferences - Input Routing

@biancamatic Yes, as long as your computer meets the minimum requirements the S4 should work flawlessly in a club
