Introduction
Thank you for using Native Instruments Traktor 2 and the Kontrol S4! This document is
intended for those interested in learning how to use these products to perform as a DJ
and keep up with current musical trends in a performance environment. Having years of
experience using these products in home and public environments, I have provided all
of the information necessary to have you impressing crowds in no time! Whether you
would like to use this knowledge for personal enjoyment or to perform for others, you
picked the right choice for a new hobby!
This manual is designed to provide a comprehensive guide to getting started with
Traktor 2 and your new Kontrol S4. Traktor 2 is a DAW (Digital Audio Workstation)
that is designed for mixing together audio files live on your computer. This DAW works
most efficiently with the Kontrol S4, a USB software controller designed specifically for
use with Traktor 2.
This manual only applies to the use of the Traktor 2 hardware with computers running
on the Windows platform and excludes information on setup with a Macintosh. Even
though Traktor 2 can be controlled by a variety of products, the scope of this document
is limited to use with the Kontrol S4 only. The sections on selecting songs and arranging
them for performance will only cover the technical methods for doing so. Software and
hardware drivers are subject to change and may need to be updated for use.
