    I don't think so... I don't understand the routing options very well, I've just been trying what I've read on the internet and nothing has worked for me...
    What do you mean by a return channel? I have read in the Traktor update that it has expanded the connections to 15. I don't know if that may affect being able to color the preview...

    I'm unsure if that will only play the return coming from the analog [return] input, or also from the USB 09/10.

    Though page 15 indicated it goes straight to master. But you can also find word about send/return and rekordbox in there 🤷 Thus me suggesting to try it out.

    Maybe a controller is better suited for your needs.

    I have have strong doubts the other pioneer mixers are much better, unless paired with a CDJ-3000 which has touch preview. (Or maybe through rekordbox)

    I'm going to try but if I do that I lose that channel when I'm using all 4 channels, it's like putting it on channel 4 on PC A and only keeping 3 channels for mixing.

    it's like putting it on channel 4

    No, because you can always ad hoc choose a channel where nothing is playing right at that moment and set it shortly to RETURN. Setting traktor up to play preview to channel 4 would lock you into that deck and you might be playing preview to that even you there is already a track playing.

    But this is also only IF this works, which kinda gets less and less likely.

    For 500 EUR less you could have gotten a Xone 96 ;-)

    Thanks for all the info and help, I'm going to try those options.
    The truth is that now seeing everything I think the zone would have been better, I was trying it out... With the xzone I wouldn't have that problem, right??

    Well the xone has two more input decks. And you can configure one of them to listen to preview. Still have to press a button on the mixer and you will not be able to use one of the two return channels.

    I would advise to test the mixer somewhere to see if it's something for you.

    There is also the pioneer v10. Might be worth looking into.

    But maybe you should just stay with the s8.
