cool! I just started DJ and got the S8. Thank you for the video.
S8 have everything what you need to be job done. I use it with two D2 controllers and the work is perfect and my live streams are nice and clean :)
Yes this is the idea making my optimal home studio set up. Actually an s8, one D2(maybe the 2 for symmetry sake), and then with one direct drive turntable for the event of a mix calling for one of my old tracks on vinyl or should I learn to do scratching or a guest needs to scratch for some reason its enabled and optimal. The compute for this setup will be a MAC mini 32 gb ram 2T ssd wielding some type of clever monitor solution thats static plus with an old iPad used as a monitor that can float throughout the studio in the case of collabs or unforseen scenarios. Now I wonder if including a vintage modulor Vestax 3 band isolator would be over the top. Not knowledgeable with sound monitors yet but surround with a legit subwoofer. Possibly krk all around with the krk 8 inch krk . A large full spectrum VU meter mounted line of sight for stoners to zone out on. The the stuff for livestream with deco mini lasers colored choreographed lights, and mini projector doing visuals. They still haven't finished it yet..... taking forever....
When you're holding the shift key and adjusting the tempo does it do it instantly or only after you let go..?🍺
Cera Alba is a tech house god, much respect!
Jim Richard You can learn directly from him at Point Blank!
Already studying in Dublin, wish I had the time!
Do you still have your S* and have you ever added 2 D2's to the controller and use it in 2024 to see if it handle the lastest Traktor DJ app?
Thanks for this great demo series.
I've been looking at several options for software controllers and have to admit I have been tempted by the recently announced DDJ-RZs.
Having owned several CDJs in the past though, the mechanical nature of jog wheels means they eventually wear or break down.
The touch sliders looks like a real great alternative.
big fan of native intruments but this is an epic fail removing the jog wheel.. was hard enough coming off vinyl let alone losing jog wheel. finding that cue looked awkward.. although the bar does look useful for getting to almost the right spot without making cues but really that last adjustmented needed a jog wheel.. clealy gonna be no scratching on this either... hoping i can run a s4 with two dvs technics does anyone know if this is possible..?
That thing is beast :0 would have one if it wouldnt be so expensive, definitly worth the money though ;D
why is it when my turntables are active and playing i can't touch the "play button" on the same deck as the table is playing without the table being disconnected and then the only way to get it back is to close and re open tractor?
Thx for the overview great!
Good Idea but i prefer jog wheels & pitch bend
Looks so much better than the s2/s4!
Can i step sequence with the S8 ?
awesome! hopefully thers gonna be more ableton tutorials:D havent saw them in a while:)
I don't want to buy one just yet but the appeal is beating me XD
hope I order an S8 soon!
I would have liked the screens to be at an angle , other than that would love a play on 1 .!!
how do i adjust the tempo of the controller deck and do so quickly? with out using master tempo? mixing from vinyl to deck?
Press the BPM BUTTON on the screen & move the browser knob (SHIFT + Browser Knob for whole numbers)
I really dont get the point of not just using sync if you can get visual feedback how out both tracks are
Just to show you that it can be done without sync!
+Doppler ive just got this and i dont want to know how to sync, its all part of being a dj the more you take out of it the less fun it becomes
+Doppler you sir, are absolutely right. people who cry about sync have had to learn beatmatching for a long time, and are jalouse because we dont have to learn it. gives us more time to be using effects and really setting an atmosphere and a set with a story.. no disrespect for the old guys, but this is going to be the new way to dj, using parts of a track instead of just thinking in whole tracks..
+Huub Mansvelt yes but beatmatching is fun, i cant understand why you wouldnt want to beatmatch, when you line those beats up its a great feeling, having said that beatmatching with vinyl can take up most of your mix, i got the S8 at xmas and at first i was bored because the tunes were synced and i was just wait waiting, the S8 is a proper machine though that lets you be creative, so yes i agree with you that you can set an atmosphere with effects and remix but you have to be good, not just press whatever you like when you like cos you can cos its synced, theres an art to djing sync or no sync, lets face it its all good fun and i dont understand the argument either way, there should be no arguing aslong as the music sounds good then thats what its all about.
Sean But I agree. beatmatching is much more satisfying and skillful. I like sync when im djing wasted at a house party or just flipping songs out of my itunes library to see how they sound together. on the whole though if im jamming or doing a proper set I prefer to beatmatch. that being said though it entirely depends on your rig: if you want to beatmatch get some cdjs, there is no point beatmatching on midi decks because people will just think you are syncing anyway!
mise a jour traktor s8 2.7.3 sur windows pas sur mac pk ,? a part les carte son audio 6
If anyone is considering a S8 in 2021..... it's a lovely toy, great to play at home.... but the soundcard is insanely weak, this cannot be used on a serious soundsystem. know this if you considering one in second hand at low price: THIS IS A TOY
wish I read that before waisting 600$
Would the S4 mk3 be your recommendation if I'm looking now?
@@nickbarcio hmm... I never tried it, but as I see 99.9% pioneer gear in clubs, I'm gonna switch to a record box compatible controller as soon as I can sell my s8.
NI has great stuff for live, but I came to the conclusion that the DJ stuff is just for home play.
Im looking everywhere about the sound of this controller but I am not sure if is really in a professional level or not.
@@alexg8957 where did you find an S8 available for sale?
@@nickbarcio ebay
