can anyone guide me in simple terms how to get my traktor s4 work with vdj
"Original S4 (not MKII) is not supported for a reason: It's MIDI resolution of jogs (among other things) is very poor. Also it's the only NI console that's not using HID protocol, but a HID-alike proprietary protocol. Therefore it's not up to our standards to include it as a native supported controller."
This is from VDJ forum, i can not be sure how true it is or if there are any alternatives...
But... why use VDJ if you can have Traktor? ;-)
It sounds like you will have to create a Definition and Mapper files for that controller. Definitely use it with Traktor.
Thanks for your quick response.
so you are basically saying use traktor as my Dj program instead of virtual?
Absolutely yes! Off course this is a matter of choice... some people prefer this, some others something else... i can not decide for you, but since i have played with different software, i find Traktor more close to my needs and taste...
and it sounds more reasonable and compatible, since you have a Traktor controller! ;-)
Be aware that if one of the reason you use Virtual DJ is its real time stems separation, Traktor doesn’t have it
