Reviewed in the United States on November 16, 2022

I am an old school vinyl DJ since 1984 and decided to give this controller thing a try as I had to play in a club where they did not have turntables. It is so much fun to play with it, easy to use, great sound quality. I am loving it. If there is one thing that could be improved it is the headphone amplifier. In a Club the headphone volume is a bit low, you have to crank it up to the max and it is still not loud enough. But a simple external headphone amp will do the trick

5.0 out of 5 stars Digital done right
Reviewed in the United States on July 4, 2020
style: ControllerVerified Purchase
Wow. 20+ years of using DJ equipment and this tops my list of favorites with just a few days of use. I've always had a strong preference for Vinyl but used many different digital interfaces while playing out. I never really liked how the software worked or how the jog wheels felt. But convenience won, I caved and bought this to use on my 600Gb+ collection of MP3s.

The Traktor S4 Mk3 simply does what I want it to do and does it very well. All the inputs and outputs you need in a 4 channel mixer. All the features you want in a club style controller and then some. The only thing I would change (which is possible with software/firmware updates from NI) is how FLUX mode automatically engages with reverse mode.

Not sure some of the negative reviews. I understand there may have been issues at the launch and with older operating systems. Mine worked without issues and setup was a breeze. New firmware seems to have resolved the issues. If you're not on Windows 10, suck it up, it's user error.

Vinyl will always have a place in the DJ booth, but digital can offer a lot now in a smaller space. 10/10 would buy again and again.

5.0 out of 5 stars Worth the upgrade
Reviewed in the United States on March 9, 2019
style: ControllerVerified Purchase
I've had the MKI MKII and now the MKIII of the Native Instruments S4 series. This has a LOT of new features but my main likes and needs as far as upgrades are as follows:
- It now has XLR and RCA out with a 1/4"TRS separate monitor out with its own volume control
- It now has 2 mic inputs. One 1/4"TRS and one combo 1/4"TRS/XLR
- The mic and line inputs seem to be more sensitive and have a higher volume sensitivity than the last generation.
- Being able to see waveforms
I don't really use the haptic part of the jog wheels but they're still great jog wheels that are as accurate as ever.

5.0 out of 5 stars Love Traktor great for Beginners and for Musician's looking to work with Tracks
Reviewed in the United States on January 19, 2023
style: ControllerVerified Purchase
I love Traktor. I use pionner CDJ-3000 as well and they are the best for Djing for friends or parties but when I’m alone I love playing with Traktor. I feel like I have so much control over the tracks, cutting songs loops saving them using them as remix decks… way easier on Traktor for more creative ways to make sounds and samples then if your using pionner Cdj. Pionner CDJ are the premium top of line and the only way to Dj but for making music at home I have so much fun with My Traktor S8 and now my S4, and with the addition of beatport streaming accessibility to music has become so seamless!! I wish Apple Music and Spotify would integrate with Traktor because my library’s are locked into those ecosystems

3.0 out of 5 stars I wanted to like this, but alas again NI dropped the ball on software/hardware support.
Reviewed in the United States on December 1, 2020

First off, let me start by saying I LOVE NATIVE INSTRUMENTS. With that being said, it seems like this always happens with all of their software bits. I run a lot of their gear including the Komplete S49 MK1, Komplete Audio 6, and Traktor S4 MK2. I hesitated on even purchasing this because I saw all of the issues people had with the deck from the get go.

I waited a year. It seemed ok so I bought it.
I tested it out a few times on my laptop and also my Windows desktop. Worked just fine.

Problems occurred after windows update
--
Windows updated several times over the last few weeks and didn't think anything of it.
I went to start it back up and got it going. Audio was perfectly fine in the deck, feed was fine, no redlining nothing.

MAJOR BUFFER UNDERRUN with the Audio feed going from the Booth / Audio out. I'm not sure why but it definitely was somewhere between the USB/Audio out + Windows 10.

I tried multiple ports including a USB3.0 DAC + USB 2.0, Front USB 2.0 / 3.0 and they all stutter out.

- Intel i9 9900K
- Gigabyte Z390 Designare
- 32 GB DDR4 (PC3200) RAM
- ROG STRIX RTX2080
- Apollo Twin X (Thunderbolt 3)
etc. etc. all really decent hardware.

Later, I found out it's some unresolved issue with USB3.0 and Intel. While this may not be entirely Native Instrument's "Fault", this isn't the first time one of my hardware devices have failed (Native Instruments Komplete S49 MK1 keyboard died for several months early last year and they were aware due to a windows update).

All I can say NI, Please hire a software team that talks to the hardware team. You all have badass hardware and it falls short yet again. I'm really disappointed but I think I'm going to make the switch to either Denon or Pioneer and I absolutely despise Pioneer.

I love Traktor and the software + FX and feel they're way better when it actually does work but unfortunately when I just wanna throw down some tracks on a live mix I cannot be embarrassed by audio distorting out / redlining / causing speakers to blow on my viewers' end.
