Answers

I think its about time Traktor team show wy is the Nr1 best dj software
Better effects we have too many and half arent need ,better similar what pioneer have (but we have some good ones on Color effects
Delay´s echo out/ if have a background effects that affect echo out will be awsome,right now only RMX-1000 can underlay a echo out,in traktor you cant do that with any effect if delay active.
Playlist by coulor right now dont have enouth options to have a good organized playlist even with coulors
We need use the 8 effects on Coulor filter mixer not only 4 ,that makes no sence for me.
But traktor still is the best out there just need mark the position with good and usefull stuff

I agree with this but it could be even much much better.

traktor is still the best program but if new hardware doesn't come out, soon we won't be able to use it anymore. It is very difficult to do the mappings and many times you can't get 100% of the functionality of other hardware. The z2 mixer is no longer on the market and all DJ turnablists or record lovers have switched to serato. The s4mk3 console is now old and outdated and the next updates (stem) will make it difficult to use. NATIVE MAYBE THE TIME HAS COME TO CREATE A NEW AND COMPETITIVE BATTLE MIXER and a new and competitive console.

What makes the s4 mk3 outdated?
It already has stem mappings.

@Deejayenzo Yes, because of discontued Pro S8 and Z2 (and S5, D2 time ago) I guess new Pro HW shoul come soon. If NI wants to stay in game.
With new Pro HW might come also TP4. STEM separation should come ASAP.

time makes it old. I've had a s4 mk3 for 4 years, she's been overworked and worn on the keys. it should be changed. but I'm not going to buy another one because I have to spend 800 dollars for a product that will be 8 in 4 years and very old. moreover the rotating jogs are absolutely useless. they are too small to scratch .
also the audio output is not that powerful. maybe it's good for bedroom DJs but not enough for clubs or festivals. it has now been surpassed by the competition. as you can see pioneer releases a console every 2 months while native hasn't released anything for years. The whole community is clamoring for a new z2 ... it is clear that there is a need for new HW

Old does not mean outdated. You can put on new knobs and keys. The rotatings jogs where already a gimmick on release.
Also pioneer does not release a new controller every 2 month.

has released opus quad and flx 10 in the last 2 months. the s4 jog might be innovative 4 years ago, then came out rane one and rev 7 and they buried the s4 jog.
we can go on and on but by now the whole world agrees that new HW is needed and I agree too.

Just because you release 2 controllers within the last two month it does not mean they release a new controller every 2 month :P
Yes, new hardware would be great. I still don't think the s4 is outdated.

The same with S5/D2 that are EOL for many years... Still work just fine. I agree with you that the world should not go Apple way - new model every year or so.... HW should "update" only when needed, once 5-7 years (or even more) seems to me just fine.

Agree S4 MK3 is a perfect device for what it is. For this price tag the best what you can get in my opinion.
There are other NI devices (F1, Z1, X1 ) which will need an update more urgent.
Look at Thomann. S4 MK3 is most of the time one of the top selling DJ Controller and this not without a reason.
The biggest problem with older Kontrol hardware is that you can not use it as a MIDI controller and it still has this old design.

can confirm this from my side (just a home-DJ with real DJ-past)
when I decided, around Xmas22, to restart this DJ-hobby I went to my prefered store and looked for these Pioneer-things, cause (nearly) everyone uses it
due to "good" sales-man work we were at the point: mixer+2 singledecks = 2100€, I took a moment to let this go through my mind and went to the instore-café. Suddenly someone greets me "Hey Sarge, how´re ...blahblah" and I told to be here for DJ-Equip. He: "when I remember right you´re a big NI-fan, so explain me, why their Traktor-series isn´t what you need?" - and as you know&see the buy was changed to a S4Mk3😎+😘 and safed me 2/3 of money wich was needed totally for car-repair this year (good exchange)
so for me, there´s no need for a new model and tbh: the argument of "Wheels are too small" or so I can only say 2things for me 1) the Pioneer-wheel aren´t also not a similar feeling to Vinyl on a Technics1210! and 2) everyone has seen their size, it wasn´t something which you could only recoginze after buying 🙄
regards and have a nice sunday
The Sarge!
PS: and don´t know if it´s just the red-car-effect (buy one and then seeing nearly everyone is driving a red one too) or YT-algorhythm, but some of my prefered DJs are also using Traktor (Marc Arcadipane, Chris Liebing, Carl Cox (sometimes) etc.) 👍️

but I don't understand why they don't produce native mappings for all hardware on the market like virtual dj and djay pro do. there's no point in opening traktor to all hardware if you don't then create native mappings. traktor is too difficult to map for an average user.

I guess, they want mostly sell NI's HW. Or they do not want to support users of third party HW. They woulh have to if they provided mappings.

Old S series hardware from NI has the MIDI mode. The new MK3 doesn't, and is sucks.
