Traktor Kontrol S3

Not too sure of the headphone volume sucks or I need better headphones, even with the volume all the way up I can hear through them. Other then that the set is great.

This is a truly great controller with virtual DJ. I am exceptionally happy with it. I don't know if the volume output level sucks as some other reviews say because I use a usb DSP for output. But I can say that the build quality and functional control offered by this are top notch. Personally I had no other choice as I wanted a clean look and layout and full support from virtual dj and in my opinion this was the only dj controller on the market that offered that. So I'm glad it worked out.

I've now been using it for over a year. Traveled around the world DJ-ing with it. It's working great! The XLR outputs make it easier to hook up with professional systems and simple if you just want to hook up powered speakers. The controls are just sensitive enough and not too finicky and it works with multiple dj software packages. I ended up getting a cover that protects it while traveling and it fits in my luggage easily.

Practical and easy to use. Good for traveling.

Such poorly made product

Great for mixing just. Don't expect to do any scratching

Great Pro deck for controlling Traktor. The S3 is NI’s middle level controller. A bit bigger and boasts more features than the S2 but not as overpriced (IMO) as the S4. For me, this is the perfect Traktor deck. I have mine configured with two track decks, a sample deck plus one live input for a small synth. Highly recommend.

I LOVE it. It even works uncovered but at a much lower volume. I believe this is one of their few remaining boards that still support ios so I can use it with my M1 iPad. Tech support is ok--you can't talk to anyone, but they do fine through email. It takes a long time (about a week or so), but they DO eventually get back to you.

This is by far the best DJ controller on the market for price. Has all pro inputs and outputs that some controllers twice the price don’t have! I use this controller weekly DJing in some of the biggest nightclubs in London. I never have any issues with the Traktor software, it’s solid and flawless! The unit itself for me is sturdy and has lasted well. I would highly advise anyone who buys this controller to buy the Traktor flight case to keep it protected. (You can find this on Amazon marked down as the S4 case. S3 fits perfectly in this case as you can see in the picture. I have over 23 years professional experience as a DJ. I can assure you for price this is by far one of the best controllers available. Decent build quality, ridiculous amounts of inputs and outputs, solid software that never ever crashes. Not many people on the professional circuit use Traktor anymore, which is great for me because this software helps me stand out. I personally turn off the sync button and mix manually which gives this controller an amazing CDJ type feel when mixing. Also having sync on really drains laptop processing power. Having it off mixing manually is best for professionals. This controller has booth output, xlr output, rca output, line output, line in, microphone input… Tell me any controller at this price bracket that has all that!!! None…. Even some controllers twice the price don’t have these inputs and outputs… The only downfall is that the microphone input is not amazing although is more than adequate. You will see what I mean for yourself when using. If it had an analog mic input it would be better. Other than that 5 star controller that is a workhorse for me and helps me make a solid living from music! Have no doubt that if you use this controller right that it’s a beast!

As advertised this 4 channel Dj console is built to last. It offers excellent quality and performance. I’m happy to know that’s also supported by Virtual Dj and other third party software beside the NI Tracktor one.

Absolutely love this. It’s inspired me!!

You already know what it is. It's really good, but for the love of god don't buy it through amazon. You will not get the traktor key.

Need to improve as i have used same brand other models with out any issues. but this controller with windows has issues with auto Sync button ( songs are not sync and goes out of sync ) if you are using manual beat match it is working fine.
