In Browse mode, the Headphones Cue button is used to load the selected track on to the
corresponding Deck (Track Decks only). See section ↑6.7, Browsing, Loading and Copying
for more info on the Browse mode.
Deck Assignment Indicator
The Deck Assignment indicator on channel A.
The Deck Assignment indicator (labeled A, B, C, or D) shows which software Deck is currently
controlled by the S4 Deck nearby—simultaneously, it shows on which channel the Deck nearby
is playing. For example, if the Deck Assignment indicator of channel C lights up (showing a
“C”), it means that the left Deck on your S4 controls Deck C in TRAKTOR.
Furthermore, the color of the lit Deck Assignment indicator reminds you whether the con-
trolled Deck is an upper Deck (blue) or a lower Deck (white).
Channel Fader and Channel Meter
The channel fader and meter.
The channel fader controls the channel’s level, before the signal is sent to the crossfader and
Main section.
The channel meter gives you a visual feedback on the pre-fader level of the signal on this chan-
nel:
▪ Blue: This is the normal operating area of the track.
▪ Orange: These LEDs can light as the level of the track is increased (i.e. increasing gain,
increasing EQ, adding FX, etc.). Audio quality will not be affected if the orange LEDs light
here, but it is good practice to control your volumes and only light the orange LEDs occa-
sionally..
