User Manual

Quantize Button
The Quantize Button, labeled Q, allows you to activate/deactivate Quantize mode. With Quan-
tize active, all skip actions within a track (Hotcues, Beatjumps, etc.) are beat-accurate.
If you trigger a jump before a beat, TRAKTOR delays the action so that the effect occurs on the
beat. This way, your track always stays in sync, allowing a perfect real-time remixing.
4.4.2.7 MIC 1 and 2 Buttons
S8 features MIC 1 and 2 inputs which allow you to connect dynamic microphones and route
them through TRAKTOR's effects and mixer by means of Live Input Decks.
MIC 1 and 2 Buttons
The MIC inputs are assigned to Deck C and D by default.
MIC inputs can only be activated on Decks which are currently not playing back, as they
are switched to Live Input mode in the process.
►
Press a MIC (1 or 2) button to activate the connected microphone. The MIC button and
the assigned channel's TRAKTOR button light up bright green when enabled.
►
If the microphone can't be assigned to the channel you select, the TRAKTOR and MIC
buttons flash alternately.
Changing the channel assignment
1. Check the assignment by holding the MIC 1/2 button. The assigned channel's TRAKTOR
button lights up bright green. All channels you can assign the MIC to are marked dim
green.
2. Hold the MIC 1 button.
3. Press another channel's TRAKTOR button to assign the microphone to it.
