S8 mod with Traktor4?
Hi everybody, does any S8 mod work with the latest Traktor 4 release? I experience troubles with created stems - they lose the timeline information (the larger wave) on the S8 screens (not in traktor software)
X1 MK3 tempo adjust granularity
I just purchased a Z1 MK2 + X1 MK3 in order to have a very portable option for DJing on the go. My usual controller is an S8, and I absolutely LOVE it. One of the best features is the inclusion of a Tempo encoder, something which I utilize heavily while working with other DJs. Using a pitch fader to get an exact BPM is…
Traktor Kontrol S8 won't turn on - PSU is OK
Hello there folks, I'm having an Issue with a S8, it won't turn on, it's completely dead, no lights or any response. Measured the PSU pin with a tester and it gives 15v correctly (I use it daily on a S5), when I plug it in and push the power button, nothing happens, also tried with USB connected too, but my PC won't detect…
Is Anyone else having Traktor ASIO CPU Issues (Kontrol S8) ?
Hi Traktor community ! I have been having issues with the Traktor Kontrol S8 ASIO Driver for the last month or so. I have not installed anything new apart from some windows updates.

BUG: Harmonic mixing key highlighting doesn‘t work in browser displays of Kontrol S5/S8/D2
All keys remain gray or completely colored (when you set the option to ‚Color all keys‘). In the desktop view of Traktor everything is correctly displayed and working. I have tested this several times and also found YouTube comments that say the same thing. I have tested it on Traktor 3.5.2.299 and Traktor 3.6.0.325. On a…

Traktor D2 Freeze Mode bug
Since Traktor 4 update, the freeze mode doesn’t work well anymore. The loop at the screen doen’t fit as before (it appears at the left side), and while the chops are still right, if you let the loop playing, the size doesn’t fit so when it comes to the end and starts again, it sounds out of the beat. i guess as long as D2…

Today I updated to the current version via Native Acsess and in this version the headphone cue button no longer works on the S8. You can turn it on and off, but there is no sound. I can no longer operate the cue (headphones) button in the software itself. I then went back to 3.10.1 16 and the cue button works again on the…

S8: two independing browse screens
Is it possible to enable two independing browse screens on the Traktor S8 ? Or would editing the qmls be too complicated ? I have Traktor Pro 4.01 / Mac and I guess the "Supreme Edition MOD" (for Traktor 3.x) had such a feature. I hope this is clear. Thanks a lot!

Anyone using Platinum Notes alongside Traktor?
