Dear people , yesterday i had the gig of my live :), setting up everything at home no problems, setting up at the club also perfect but than they cranked the music up and my traktor pro 3 went grazy , as in glitches , delays and so bad that i had to stop my gig :/....

So no i found the problem :), only solving it i need some smart people :).

When my s4 is attached to the laptop and i play traktor.... when there come a loud sound , the the midi indicator syymbol start flashing and detect some incoming midi signals ..... if i unhook the s4 this problem is not there :/. coud any body tell me what setting to change ?


it looks as if a micophone is picking up a sound ?



kind regards jeroen

    Weird. Could the vibrations from the loud music cause this?

    It should not, but maybe something is defect. What if you play at home and shake the unit a bit?

    The jog wheels are probably vibrating.

    You can disable the jogs when not in use. What is probably happening is you are using a deck as Master tempo. So the other decks are trying to sync whenever the vibration happens.

    You can also increase the tension of the jogs which might help.

    YES , this was it :) it where the jogdials, i disabled them in the software of the s4 ( dropdown menu in traktor ) and the problem is solved , SO smart , thank you very much ! i think i let them by disabled , i 'm afraid of it ever happening again , even when the spring has more tension :).


    thank you for all the answers you all :)

    You can disable and enable them with the s4mk3. Double press the Jog button for on/off.
