Traktor + S2 MK3: separate master and cue
These are general checks, not model-specific compatibility certification. Start at low volume and change one setting at a time.
Signal path
- Computer / Traktor
- USB → S2 MK3
- MAIN OUT → speaker LINE IN
Check in order
- Connect S2 MAIN OUT to speaker LINE input and headphones to the S2, separately from computer audio.
- Select S2 in Audio Setup; in Output Routing check Internal mixing and distinct master/monitor outputs.
- Play a track, select channel CUE and adjust headphone blend/level gently; distinguish missing cue from missing master.
- Note settings before buffer changes and test a local track; changing the OS default output does not establish Traktor routing.
- If unresolved, record models, OS/app versions, OUT-to-IN routing, the last responding meter and comparison results in the support note.
Controls do not respond
- Check USB recognition and deck assignment first; audio routing is separate.
Controls work but audio/cue fails
- Start with Audio Setup and Output Routing, distinguishing master from monitor.
If unresolved
Record hardware models, OS/app versions, the last responding meter and test outcomes for official support. Do not infer hardware failure or a purchase requirement from unverified checks.
