#NATIVE INSTRUMENTS TRAKTOR S8 FULL#
XLR and RCA main outs, TRS booth outs, four full line / phono switchable input channels with ground pole, two mics (XLR/TRS combo and TRS), plus Kensington lock, USB and power input/switch. Round the back is actually pretty standard, and comprehensive. A central “channel” contains cue mix and volume, main and booth volumes, mic assigns, Snap and Quantise buttons for accurate cueing and looping, and a Master Tempo knob. There are per-channel filters, with on/off buttons (great for cancelling a filter on a downbeat crisply), the usual three-band EQ, FX assign and cue buttons, and – hurray! – normal gain controls (not like the bizarre rotary encoders found on the S2 and S4). The front of the mixer section has crossfader assign and curve controls (flush with the surface), as well as 1/4″ and 1/8″ headphone sockets. The whole panel underneath the faders comes off for easy servicing. There’s a decent short-throw crossfader with plenty of room around it for scratch DJs to not feel cramped. The four-channel mixer again oozes quality.

Nobody’s going to ask for a go on your “toy” it doesn’t look like a toy, and most people wouldn’t know what the hell to do with it! This, I think, is a good thing.ĭJ like a pro using ANY gear: The Complete DJ Course
A more standard set of four encoders and buttons at the top of each channel for FX give a note of normality, but overall, it all looks very futuristic. The touchstrips right above the transport controls at the front of each deck are, of course, exactly where you find them on the Novation Twitch, the only other major jogwheel-less all-in-one DJ controller out there. Of course there’s another area where the “deck” parts of the unit differ from CDJs as well as practically all DJ controllers: There are no jogwheels, the space where they used to sit being replaced by four mini faders, extra encoders and buttons, and those aforementioned screens. Somehow the addition of screens makes one think of Pioneer’s CDJs these “decks” are slimmer and less chunky but also at least as well built as CDJs, if not better. Better built than the Kontrol S4, the Kontrol S8 immediately stands out through having two 4.7″ screens (they’re not touchscreen, by the way), one for each deck. In other words, product ranked #1 carries a lot more weight than product ranked #6 product ranked #6 carries slightly more weight than product ranked #8.First Impressions / Setting up Massive and seriously well-built, one thing’s for sure: No one’s going to be asking you to have a go at your “DJ toy” when you’re rocking one of these… Then the point value of every endorsement is adjusted by a geometric progression with common ratio slightly below 1. Being included in top 3 also carries bonus points. Being ranked #1 carries a lot more points. Currently we use ranking methodology 0.7.2: being included in the expert ranking scores points. Step 4: assign weights to expert endorsements and aggregate opinion.For variations of the same products our team needs to determine whether the products are the same or not (is iPhone 13 64GB and iPhone 13 128GB the same model or not?) Step 4: determine if experts are endorsing the same product.Our team has to manually exclude products that don't match product category.
In their creative wisdom, experts often tend to include accessories or alternatives in their ranking. Since robots inevitably mess up, team manually checks the data. Robots try to import the rankings that experts independently publish. Robots determine most respectable sources on the Internet, then the team manually chooses the best ones.
