Sound and data is sent back and forth to your Mac or PC down the USB connection but you can do much more than just play tracks without touching the computer: the S8 is also a standalone mixer and an audio and MIDI interface in its own right. It would seem to be designed to sit on a surface rather than being plumbed into a rack and to this end it has rubber feet and also six anchor points on the underside which allow it to be fixed down using screws. We’ll keep this article updated with whatever information NI will provide.Where some other high-end DJ controllers have had a chunky design so as to slot into equipment racks in clubs, the S8 is much flatter and shallower, just under 7cm thick in fact. If you have more (serious) questions please don’t hesitate to leave them in the comments, and once we have a few I’ll send them over. So those are the questions we have gotten thus far, and gotten answers on. Turning the Mic off will cause the Deck to flip back to its previous flavor. When in TRAKTOR mode, the Mic will cause the associated Deck to automatically switch to Live Input Deck, meaning that the Mic will go through TRAKTOR’s mixer including Gain, EQ, Filter, FX, Channel Volume, Crossfader, and also the Mix Recorder. In standalone mode, the Mic will override the analog input of the channel (the Phono/Line input on the back panel). This system works in both standalone and in TRAKTOR modes. The TRAKTOR button that is off indicates that the other Mic is already assigned to that channel. If you hold MIC 1, you can then press the TRAKTOR Button to assign it to that channel-the valid assignments will be dim green. When you power-on the unit, MIC 1 is set to Channel C and MIC 2 is set to Channel D by default.
