Re: Another expansion with cheap looking graphic design
Here's another ideia: If you don't agree with the thread content, then don't interact with it? The thread would just burry itself in a couple of days.
Visuasl do a have purpose, it helps finding product amongst many others in the browser, while I also don't see eye to eye regarding OP's opinion I dont go out of my out to disprove him, it's just an opinion…
I dont feel like censorship of different views is quite the way to go, on the other hand a new thread bashing the design each time an expansion is released also gets old fast.

Re: Maschine Plus - Maschine 3 Update: What's new
@SpinFidelity Jeremy's already stated in his announcement that it's not included.
I think most people believe that the Maschine+ isn't up to the job, and/or the results would be poor. Like Akai, stem separation is available in the desktop version first, at reasonable quality for a first draft.
Akai's standalone separation is much lower quality and takes considerable time, during which you are unable to do anything else. If the Maschine+ also gives poor results and takes ages - is it worth doing?
Re: [Traktor 4 Pro] Once Again: Tidal, Spotify, anything: WHEN?
I’m not sure why people who don’t want a feature feel they have to pile comments on saying the feature isn’t required—just because you don’t want it, doesn’t mean others can’t have a legitimate use for it.
Having streaming services integrated into Traktor is super useful. You don’t have to stream it directly in your live sets (although fair play to you if you choose to do so). Personally, I find it super useful to bring in new tracks in my practice sessions at home and test whether they are going to fit, without having to jump out of Traktor and out of the flow. Tidal integration would be great, or Apple Music, or Bandcamp, SoundCloud etc…. I mean I love the workflow with Beatsource, but it just isn’t enough in my opinion, and the OP is right to put forward a view that this is a feature that should be prioritised or at least get an updated response from the dev team on where it fits in the roadmap. Plus, it is yet another ‘feature’ where other platforms are ahead (in particular, everyone’s #2 platform, djay pro).
Re: Any hope for a Z2 MK2?
I think tighter integration with the current Battle Mixers on the market would be a better move forward. Full mappings with screen integrations may help move some people back to Traktor that left it when upgrading their hardware.
Re: Maschine Plus - Maschine 3 Update: What's new
I bet everyone asking for STEM separation on the hardware will be very disappointed if/when that happens (probably slow and probably lower quality)…
Unfortunately it is what it is…
Personally I think it's a waste of resources to bring STEM separation to the hardware itself.
My 2 cents
Re: Another expansion with cheap looking graphic design
Am I the only one that doesn’t really care how it looks, but rather how it sounds? 😅
Re: Kontrol S-Series MK3 Firmware 2.0 - DAW Integration Discussion
Maybe start a separate thread for the Cubase script feature requests. I wouldn't want people attaching adhoc javascript files to the forum, but maybe we can host something on Github with an open source license to facilitate collaboration - I'd have to clear this with the exec team though of course.
As for quick controls, we only really added these to Logic because Logic doesn't provide any other way to customise plugin mappings. In Cubase, you can fully customise the plugin mappings with the Remote Control Editor, so IMO QC are not that necessary.
I guess the focussed quick controls could still be useful, but if we added those then you'd lose one slot…

Expanded File Format Support
Import or export in more formats with Maschine+:

- Simplified user flow: Toggle accessibility voice overs on / off directly from the hardware
- Still supports all key features like zone navigation, voice feedback, and Tour Mode
Better Performance, Lower CPU
You’ll notice faster parameter updates and smoother performance — especially when connected with Kontrol MK3.

Re: Massive X Player install
If you own Massive X, just update it and you will get new "Player" tab.
Adding new Komplete Start will not mess anything - it will add additional products.
