Left XLR on controller won't work

Lady Shawn

A recently retired from being a flight attendant. And I want to DJ full-time. I used to be ADJ longtime ago and I wanted to get back into it. I bought the tractor S3 because I really wanted that 1 instead of the other one the Exo. Law on the left channel does not work. And that's a problem with my speakers that I have. I have the Bear and chair Euro. Live b one twelve d thousand watt speakers, so could someone please help me?

Lady Shawn

Any help would be huge

Did you check the audio settings in Traktor under Preferences/Output routing? Are both channel assigned for the audio interface in the S3?

Lady Shawn

The output monitor says left headphone left and right right headphone. Right and the output master says Main left and main right. Is that correct?

I'm new with this. I learned on term tables bag in 1979 and I haven't DJ. In a very long time but I wanna tractor and I just wanna know how to do the in. And outputs correctly. I am, by the way, I got Behrianger B112D 1000 Watt speakers.

@Lady Shawn First test is to swap the output plugs in the Left/Right outs on the back of the S3. If the same speaker doesn't work then the fault is in either the speaker or the cable. If the other speaker stops working then the problem is somewhere inside the S3. Try that and let us know what happened.

What am swapping the out S3 to? I'm sorry, but I never had to setting when I DJed back in the day.

Not settings - the two cables going into XLR sockets on the back of the S3 that go to your speakers. If your left speaker isn't working and you switch the cables around one of two things will happen. Either the right speaker will stop working which means the fault is on the S3 somewhere or the left speaker will still not work which means that either the cable or the speaker is at fault.

I finally got them to work, but the x alarm left on the tractor does not work.
