4 Tutorials

This chapter will

guide you through the most common tasks that you will encounter during your

work with TRAKTOR KONTROL S2.

The tutorials are workflow-oriented. They start with the simplest tasks and progressively lead

you to more complex operation, helping you to get more and more familiar with your TRAK-

TOR KONTROL S2 system. After reading this, you should have the basic know-how, allowing

you to mix with TRAKTOR KONTROL S2.

The tutorials presented here and in the following chapter make use of the included demo

tracks, which were copied to your hard disk during the TRAKTOR KONTROL S2 installation

procedure. Thus, you can follow these tutorials even if you haven’t imported your own music

yet into the Track Collection. For more info on how to import your music into the Collection,

please refer to chapter ↑3, Preparing Your Music Library.

Keep in mind: The left Deck on the controller corresponds to TRAKTOR's Track Deck A,

while the right Deck corresponds to TRAKTOR's Track Deck B.
