    Sounds to me that you have your “Main” too low virtually.
    Try adjusting it within the software, rather than on the actual controller.

    Thanks Brian,

    I keep the virtual main at 0db as has been adviced and the gain knobs are typically around 0db as well or slightly above depending on the autogain.

    Sorry, to be clear, what i meant was that I already have the virtual main at 0db and the gains at normal leves. The signal has not improved.

    Is there a volume control on your S2 as well? I have an S4 and the volume control on it runs independent of Traktor so I can set what ever I want for my main and gains and then boost that using that volume knob.

    Ahhh,

    Just out of curiosity what are your output monitor and output master channels set to?

    Also, try going to settings and disabling Dual Core Processor.

    Guys, thanks a lot for your help. I need to check all my settings at home again tonight as when I installed version 2.5 on my computer last night all my old settings got lost (arggh!!). I’ve been fiddling around with both hardware and software. Playing tonight again at the same club so I’ll find out if any of your suggestions have worked.

    So played again last night and signal still comes out weak. I’m running a Thinkpad T500 laptop and my friend who’s on an Apple had stronger output than me using the same S2. So I guess it has to be something to do with my software? Or would the computer sound card etc impact anything?
    My output routing is normal btw, just the mains and the monitors. When you say disable the Dual Core Processor, exactly how would that help?

    Cheers

    Disabling dual core support (seems to be a useless function that does nothing to improve anyones experience) won’t help with volume levels at all. It might reduce pops and clicks if you’re having latency issues. Have you turned off the additional headroom in preferences? I have this off but my master set to -10db which gives me the headroom i need and still be able to crank things up.
