![]() ![]() The high-resolution screens on the Traktor Kontrol S8 are simply great. But is it worth the price if you don’t care about STEMS or Remix Sets at all? Let’s find out! Features & functionalities The effects and screens Native Instruments Traktor Kontrol S8 screen and effects The Traktor Kontrol S8 is designed with STEMS in mind, as the 4 faders per channel are perfect to control the volume of each individual part of a STEM track. You can see them as a more complex version of STEMS. These sets can be loaded into Traktor Pro’s remix decks, and from there they can be easily synced and used to create remix versions of tracks. REMIX Sets: Remix sets are a collection of samples that together form a coherent track. #TRAKTOR KONTROL S8 MP4#The file is a regular mp4 file, and when loaded into compatible software (for now only Traktor Pro), you can manipulate each STEM track separately. It’s essentially a multi-track format that splits a song in 4 instrument groups, usually vocals, drums, bass, and melody. STEMS: Trying to blur the line between producers and DJs, Native Instruments introduced the STEM file format a few years ago. Which is a pity really, because they were both excellent ideas from Native Instruments that had the potential to revolutionize DJing. It’s worth to talk a bit about these file types because contrary to what Native Instruments might have hoped back in 2014, these terms didn’t really enter the mainstream DJ world. The S8 has an all-metal body and feels heavy, and that’s exactly how I want a professional piece of DJ gear. #TRAKTOR KONTROL S8 PRO#This is a fantastic controller for Traktor Pro 2 or the new version Traktor Pro 3, and if your DJ workflow consists of using a lot of STEM files combined with Samples, Remix Sets and electronic tracks thrown into the mix, the S8 is the perfect workhorse, even today. In fact, it was one of my first articles here on DjTechZone, and we are talking September 2014! It’s quite amazing it took me this long to review it, but it’s even more amazing that this controller has managed to stay relevant for so long.īeginning 2019, I want to find out if the S8 is still worth buying. The Traktor Kontrol S8 has been around for a while now. Channel faders for precision STEMS control.2 x XLR, 1 x Dual RCA Stereo, 2 x 1/4" (booth) ![]()
