I have bought the Traktor S4 MK3 controller and I have the Traktor Pro 3 software.

Can you tell me how to program the front microphone so that it works on track D?

The rear microphone works correctly on track C.

I hope your help.

Thank you so much.

    You must set the deck as live input.

    Check this article if more explanations are needed

    And also press shift and ext on the s4 to change from line to mic d.

    Thank you very much for your comments.

    But what you tell me I already do, but it doesn't work and I do the same with micro C (rear) and it does work. The microphone I use is the same.

    I think it is something from the initial configuration of the Tractor Pro 3 software with the Traktor S4 MK3 controller that I do not do well.

    Could you send me the ideal configuration of the Traktor Pro 3 for the Traktor S4 MK3 controller?

    I change parameters and the Micro C stops working, so I think I have not achieved the ideal configuration.

    Thank you very much for your help.

    Can you share a screenshot of your input routing?

    Yes, of course.

    If you tap on the microphone, do you see this meter go up? (After you pressed Shift + ext)

    I can see you routed it to Deck D and Aux.

    Is Deck D set to live input? Gain up?

    Or if you want to use Aux, is that turned up all the way?

    If you tap on the microphone, do you see this meter go up? No, this meter does not go up.

    Is Deck D set to live input? Yes, it is in live input.

    Gain up? Yes too.

    Or if you want to use Aux, is that turned up all the way? I have put Aux, because I have see in the instructions that they put it, but I do not know where the Aux is.

    Thank you very much for your help.

    I don't know.

    Mhh, maybe a hardware defect.

    I think it is something of the preferences that I do not have well.

    I have spoken with the staff of the store where I bought it. I'm going to the store tomorrow.

    I will inform you.

    Thanks and Best regards!!!

    Solved!!!

    The controller was defective, they have changed the controller and the micro D works correctly.

    Thank you!!!
