By using the full dynamic range available, you keep the noise level low relative to your
mix. As a result, all the details of your music are better rendered.
When a signal is clipping, it is not getting louder, just worse. The loud parts (typically the
beats) are cut, which both reduces the dynamic range and introduces distortion in your
mix. The speakers will suffer from this—and so will your audience! (Be also prepared for
some angered sound technician or club owner coming down on you.)
Hence, you should always make sure that your signals stay at levels that satisfy these two re-
quirements.
4.3.2 The Practice
To assist you in adjusting levels, the Mixer of your S4 is equipped with various level meters
and controls. Each level meter consists of a bar of blue LEDs indicating the signal level, along
with an orange LED at the top indicating the clipping.
A channel meter.
The rule mentioned above can thus be translated as follows:
Best practices when adjusting levels: Ensure that the displayed levels go high enough in
the blue areas but don’t reach the orange LEDs, or only rarely.
Letting your levels go “in the red” (or orange in this case) and using signal clipping to let your
mix sound dirtier is definitely not recommended: to do this; make use of the great FX selection
of TRAKTOR KONTROL S4 instead!
Checking the Level on Each Channel
Each channel on the Mixer provides you with a vertical channel meter next to the fader. This
meter shows you the pre-fader level of the signal on that channel, i.e. the level of the signal
before it is adjusted by the channel fader. To adjust this level, use the GAIN encoder at the
very top of the channel:
