    You can manually map the physical faders to the software faders.

    • Open PREFERENCES - CONTROLLER MANAGER.
    • Select in the top dropdown manager the s2 mapping.
    • At the bottom select ADD IN.. - MIXER - VOLUME FADER. Select deck A. Assign it to channel A Volume Fader. Mode: Direct.

    Thanks a lot. I think its a hardware issue, maybe some dirt inside.. On screen the faders moves it's owns.

    Hi, I've had my S8 purrrring like a kitten for nearly 10years on my old laptop running Traktor 3.53. First time ever this happened to me and its covered up with Decksaver when not used. My Dry/Wet knob on FX2 (top left) moves on its on when I use it. Extremely frustrating.

    I noticed another thing to after calibrating and reinstalling drivers etc. that is the setting in Traktor Pro "Auto Open FX Panels on Touch" is turned off as well as the others touch control options too. But sometimes when I touch the last knob, it opens on the display screen. It also shows me that the 4th knob shows it move to say the 9 o'clock position as well as showing it sort of locked in the 3 o'clock position while i see it turning in another direction. That shows its not calibrated after recalibrating the know in Traktor Pro.

    My concern is, is that does the Calibration actually work in my Traktor Pro 3.53. Just because I follow the "left, right & center to calibrate) how is it not to say that it doesn't even work. The "Learn" fix you mentioned might not be the right move either, as its not a re-calibrating tool fix and its coding would be different in how it writes a faulty control that needs a factory calibration.

    Also I will clean these 4 knobs out tomorrow and I'll post back only if cleaning it worked. If I don't, well then that knob is stuffed using Traktor Pro without Traktor Pros calibration too.

    Thank you for your suggestions, Sûlherokhh

    This issue has started happening again and its really getting worse.

    I've identified that the issue is with-in the S8 kontrol hardware because I have reconnected this to a different power source & much newer PC running win10, with the exact same issue still remaining.

    Sûlherokhh, where you have said to manually map the physical faders to the software faders, you have said:

    "Select in the top dropdown manager the s2 mapping".

    I have done this even though I am using an S8

    Then you've said:

    "At the bottom select ADD IN.. - MIXER - VOLUME FADER. Select deck A. Assign it to channel A Volume Fader".

    I can't see the option to do this either with S8 or S2 on my Controller Editor. In Pic 1, 2 or Pic 3.

    Just to clarify my issue again if this helps:

    The 2nd vol mixer fader CC 69 (pic1 & pic2) is moving on its own

    (Occasionally the 3rd & 4th vol mixer faders sometime move a little also.

    The Deck B FX2 Main knob (CC 30) seen in pic 3 and if S8 mapping was loaded, it would also be CC 30 (no Pic attached)

    So where would I go from here would you think?

    If there is a possibility that there is some dirt or foreign material causing this to be a midi signal issue, would you or anyone know how I can safely clean behind the panel where Deck B 2nd Main FX knob is?

    I've seen found the info on how to remove/replace the mixer faders which I can do, but I'm not going to poke around and possibly damage the S8 more before I check for some feedback/advice if any first.
