Very innovative! love what NI is doing in terms of introducing new ways of being creative with "rocking tha party". Traktor is awesome, for starters. so adding the ability control of the remix decks with their own faders was genius. love the way the S8 is made, built like a tank. this thing is great. Thnx NI

great mixer

Pro quality that suites any level dj or mix master. 4 track quality and durable sliders for years of use and abuse. Nice and portable for any live club show or at home in any studio. I am a staff reviewer at Sam Ash Music.

Full Kontrol

The Traktor from Native Instruments is an amazing find at this price for anyone looking to step up their DJ game. With light-controls, a beautiful display, and touch responsive buttons, this takes your eyes off the computer and puts them on the board where they should be. This is a perfect addition to any mobile DJ set-up or home studio. This is a hands-on product review from Blake @ Sam Ash Cleveland.

The best!

My idea of a perfect controller is one that works with you and not against. . This is one, if not the best controller I've seen to date. The flow is so good and natural feeling and takes a good portion of the features out of your computer and puts them and places them where you can easily reach with just a couple buttons. I want what is in my head to come out of the speakers I'm plugged into All of this will help any muscian up the bar on their mixes because you can so easily implement sounds and functions into your mix. As being a person who plays a variety of instruments, it was really important and most of all, FUN, mixing with this controller. It felt more like I was playing an instrument and less like playing with a controller jammed up with a ton of functions and menus.

The S8 is Great

The Traktor S8 is definitely an improvement from the S4. The added decks and better touch response pads make a world of difference. Strudy construction. This is a hands-on Product review by Tamir @ Sam Ash Edison

What a controller

Now here we have it. Touch sensitive controls, two decks, mixer and software all in one box. Talk about one of the best controllers for live djs. Along with the two screens that show the tractor software on screen while you mix I don't think you can really go wrong here. On top of all that the controller even has wear resistant faders so they last longer than any other controller or mixer! This was a hands on review from Graham @sam ash music cleveland
