I just received mine today. What a great controller and the fact it comes with a full version of the Traktor software was an added bonus. I’m not a professional or anything or need 4 decks so this fit my needs perfectly.

probably the best controller with traktor 😌

This is actually the best channel I found to get into DJing even for people who don‘t live in an english speaking country! Thank you Jamie!

Effects adjustments are a must.

Just bought this thing to learn. Man, thanks a lot. Now I know how some things work :D

Thats the BEST review on Traktor Kontrol S2 MK3 in whole internet!!!

LOVELY... now I'm waiting for the S4 review

Nice review. I saw the S2 at ADE, but I spent all my time looking at and playing with the S4 ;) But this is a nice entry level controller indeed

Love your vids DJ TLM ✌️

Mr. Jamie your review is very Professional and straight to the point review. Controller does have awesome features, well layout. Might be a good idea to acquire a microphone with an ON/OFF switch since mic volumen is on the back, But is NOT a big deal as least for me. Yes! Good JOB!! Native Instruments.

Seems to be a great controller. Not sure if it's better than DDJ400 for the price, but definitely a great option. I'm considering to change my Numark Platinum for this one since I always wanted to work with traktor

Kids are spoilt for choice nowdays. Strongly recommend these Controllers. I've used a kontrol S2 mk2 for a few years. Solid piece of kit.

When I was a teenager I learned to DJ on a numark DJ2go and the free version of virtual DJ that was gimped in so many ways. These kids will never know that struggle.

Looking forward to a DDJ400 and Traktor s2 mk3 comparison.

@David Erlstoke That's funny because I tried out the new S2 and bought the DDJ400. It's better looking and more capable than the new S2. I actually prefer the older version.

Great video! It was really useful to finally decide which controller I will buy

Can i know if the mic can be used as a Aux or live input in traktor software when i plug mic to S2?

I love your reviews! Thank you! It was really helpful

Thanks for the review. Very informative.

Hi there, I have the traktor s2 but yes I have a question about the Fx effect, what should I have to buy to introduce it to the mix

Excited to get mine!

Thank you for this video Jamie. I have curiosity about this new feature with and iPad. Can you recommend any app related to percussion or effects that can actually works with this controller? Thanks in advance mate

Good review as always. I was hoping you'd sneak in the Grid button.... We'll learn more on Oct 18 hopefully.

Why does Flux automatically engage when you Rev it? Even with Pioneer's Slip mode, Rev is typically ALWAYS Slip Rev. Why is this? What if I just want to rewind the track?

Thanks I find this information very interesting and informative would consider buying this :)

Looking forward to the S4 MK3 review, I'd love to see you compare it with the DDJ 1000, and maybe compare current Rekordbox to Traktor Pro 3

Have you tried changing the default mapping? Are all buttons/knobs/faders/pads fully midi-mappable?

Hey Jamie! I've just bought one :) Do you know any case/bag for this baby? Cheers

You know full damn well there's gonna be an s8. It's gonna be a beast

@untiground

5 жыл бұрын

why "gonna"? S8 exist for 2 years or even more.

I can't make my mind up between this and the Pioneer DDJ 400. Any thoughts? One thing that looks interesting on the Pioneer is the keyboard mode on the pads. I suppose the other consideration is Traktor vs Rekordbox. Library preparation is of importance to me too, and Rekordbox has a mobile app for this but is it any good?

Thanks for the nice review. I did bought the Traktor kontrol S2. But i do have a little Problem... I can't load two remix Decks. If i do it, the sample buttons are flashing fast and there is no sound. Thank you for helping. Greetings

How about the volume for the headphones , is it louder than the mk2 ? That was one of the big issues I had with the mk2 the volume was soft

Thanks for showing ins and outs. Other reviews left that out. Is that the same improved soundcard that in s4mk3?

Thanks. Bought! Great vid.

the best demo review Thz !

Hi, i purchased this, but have always found there is dead play in the pitch/tempo controls about 0.5cms top and bottom when controlling traktor. What is your like? I have had mine returned and replaced and still the same. Would be interested to find out if this is actually the way all are as its a tiny control already, and major.

Awesome reviews as always :D

Really nice info. Thanks a lot!

Thanks for the review. I really looking forward to buy it. Is there any problem with main volume? I read a lot reviews that they say about the main volume is lower than s2 mk2.

Thank You so Much Nice Review, It helps me.

When the Hercules DJControl Starlight comes out could u plz do a review?

When using the Trakor DJ iPad app is it possible to pre listen a track with headphones?

I'ma treat myself to this and a midi fighter. Gotta get my finguh drummin' skillz back!

Very best demonstration 🤗

I just got the S2 this week, so exiced to start playing music. Thanks a lot for the video!! Do you have more tutorials?

i am having a problem with lower volume on deck b on my kontrol s2 mk3. tried the same music/file on both decks (same gain on decks)... on traktor pro 3 and traktor dj. have an idea on what is happening? (i could equalize with the gain button, but deck b is 100% gain e deck a should be around 50-60% gain)

Brilliant review

The other effects can be used with which button on this controller ? (I'm thinking of the effects in the right and left corners above)

are those fader hall effect faders, or even the volume, dont wana buy carbon that easily sands itself out

thank for video man! Nice thing

i, there are differences ( audio output and quality ) between s2 Mk2 vs Mk3? which it's the best?

Software can be installl in tablet android ? Other question can i install in pc and tablet same time. For i choose the place where i want use ? . This is better tham pionner DDJ-400 ? Thanks for attention

is there a way to change the A and B l.e.d. meter to display master volume in the software options ?

a perfect simple controller for beginners

Is it similar to the Ddj rr or what other controller do you think?🤔

Jamie, thx for the video. What are your opinions about the current versions of Traktor, Serato and RB for a House / Minimal / Techno DJ? Same question but this time applied to a Hip-Hop DJ? A DJ using controller only, a mixer + Turntables /CDJ system or a hybrid setup? What about DVS? Other interessant criterias: - crate / playlist creation (prepare in advance) and browsing of tracks (live alterations of playlist or just spontaneous live set) - fx - performance modes: which are shared by all three, which are unique for a specific software? - recording a set

Strange why the master volume on the pro 3 doesn't light up and work with the s2 mk3 controller.

Hi! Just got the Kontrol S2 MK3 and the jog wheels don't seem to work properly. Everything is fine until I try to do scratching. The track in the deck stops playing and does not play even though the jog wheel is not held down and the PLAY button is lit. If I use my mouse, click on the waveform and drag in order to move more forward in the track, it then just continues playing. Any idea on what to do? Thanks!

Does anyone know how the tune is called, Crossfader is playing?

Does the song still pauses when there is a massive vibration?

what about recording your mix and what about sound quality output compare to Pioneer dj400

nice, i had traktor s2 but these new features for effect's are nice, i buying it

Can you control the remix decks and stems control?

yea, traktor s2mk4 vs ddj 440? which ones worth buying is the traktor included a software freee with the s2?

thx man, very useful!

I use a legacy version of macOS. Since these things are so cheap I want to pick one up as an occasional alternative to my Mark II S4. Would it be possible to map this controller to Traktor Pro 2? (2.7.3) aye

Could I hook up my machine mk3 to this unit and an midi controller keyboard also

¿Es posible conectar el traktor x1 directamente a través del puerto USB del traktor S2 Mk3?

Great review👍 Is it possible to change a reverb effect let's say for an echo effect in traktor settings? Is filter resonance can be changed as well?

I was all for buying this, as I have not done any djing for a few years (last time I did it I had to lug all my 12'' records around with me), anyhow, the lack of the effects buttons kind of put me off with this, but should this be a factor when buying? It is a close race between this and the Pioneer DDJ 400, what keeps swaying me into this controller though is the use of Traktor Pro, in your own honesty how would you compare the two controllers and which would you recommend for someone getting back into doing a bit of djing. Thanks in advance.

Thank you! 🎚

Good review buddy, keep it up

I love it well done

Best option for the Ipad mixing group. i would like something like this for that moment when i want to use a extra small set up (ipad mini and s2mk3 and bose speaker) i Came back to DJing using S2MK2 two years ago. But since left for serato/rekorbox software/hardware. I love rekorbox and what they are doing with the DVS side of DJing. if you notice they did not announce a Traktor Z3 which is really sad. the Z2 is still one of the best bargains but a new Mixer would of been dope. I want to see how the program is , there was bugs in the program that made me stop using the software. let see if they addressed the issues.

Let say if I bought this controller do you get a code for tp3 or is it a plug and play with the controller, reason I'm asking is because I've a db4 and Maschine and x1s and id want to use tp3 with them because I DJ in a small pub and only need a small controller to do the job

Is it possible to add the F1 and X1 to this setup?

I bet this will help so much

the 3.5 mm output and always master?

Dear Crossfader, I hope my question reaches you. I have the Traktor S2 mk3. My sis just gave me her Xone k2 and I wonder if I can use the K2 in conjunction with the S2MK3. I would like to use the K2 for the FX Traktor has since I can only use 1 FX at a time on the S2 MK3. Is this possible and if so, how? Thanks for anyone who could help me out with this.

can you use the ddj 400 with traktor?

can you import your own songs into the program?

For mobile DJs, there's really nothing better than that sweet, sweet, S2. The key things about the S2 that matters to me and that makes it stand out from the Kontrol S4/S5/S8: This controller runs entirely off of USB, no need for power adapter like on the S4/S5/S8 or a power strip for your CDJs, mixer, etc... Relative to Rekordbox/Serato based controllers, the hardware includes full version of Traktor Pro 3 (no "lite" version, no free trial, etc) and is completely plug-and-play and it _feels_ like professional-grade hardware / audio gear - many times I've seen DJs on boiler room crushing it with the little doink S2. Traktor is amazingly flexible and allows you to connect any Midi controllers you want for more extensive functionality - for example, you can plug in a MidiFighter 3D, add the instant gratification modification to it, and have more access to the internal traktor effects than you would have from an S4 alone. With this controller and a Soundboks, you have a completely mobile DJ setup that is totally capable and completely portable without power.

Great review! How do you feel about traktor compared to the other platforms?

Do you make a Mix on this Controller??

we'll i like traktor no matter what controller is, playing remix deck and sequencing tracks was never boring for me. No need to wait for some remixed or edit tracks just making my own live.

For this day i like more quality from denon. But native instruments was my first hardware and software. Its work perfectly.

SI quiero lanzar un efecto con aceleracion del tiempo y un filtro no se podria sacar con el S2 mk3

Great review guys, much more in depth than some I've seen. Absolutely torn about sticking with Traktor and going full gun with the DDJ-1000. I'm an experienced DJ and want to up my skillset, but have enjoyed the portability of the MK2 S2. What to do...

Can you please share the link for the video about connecting it to the iPad that you talked about here? Thank you!

Explain the GRID button option and what is the uses?

Nice review!!

I bought a Native Instruments Traktor Kontrol S2 Mk3 but the serial number is invalid - can I use it without one at all?

cau u use more effects at the same time on one song???

Anyone know if the mk3 fits in a mk2 case? Odyssey flight case

What about the sound card? Is it good?

Hei! What do you think about output sound? is not so down?

Great video

thank's i just bought one .

Thank you

Can anyone confirm that the S2 no longer has booth output? Sorry if I missed that detail in the video.

Great video , how does the sound card on this unit vs the other units? is the sound card good?

just picked my s2 mk3, great piece of kit. $329 in the US fyi.

does traktor s4 mk3 software work with mojave os

i love S2
