Does anyone know how to preview a track before loading it up on the decks in Traktor S8?
search for Cue / Preview in the manual https://www.native-instruments.com/fileadmin/ni_media/downloads/manuals/TRAKTOR_KONTROL_S8_Manual_English_2014_10.pdf
Sure there is, just press the right-most ON button below the screen to start previewing the track, and use the encoder above it to jump through the track.
See section 2.3.4 in the latest manual: https://www.native-instruments.com/fileadmin/ni_media/downloads/manuals/traktor/traktor_kontrol_s8_manual_english.pdf
So no real preview function? just old school loading and pre listening ? Anybody now the mapping functionality of this ?
