Re: Traktor and SoundSwitch Lightning Support- a winner team for all
Hey Ryan,
Just take a look at the Denon forums or the Soundswitch user group on facebook.
No one is recommending Traktor because of this very reason (and no Denon support). Only Serato or VDJ (yuck!)
I use Serato with Soundswitch for my own private or corporate gigs. It's a no brainer, even if I have to put up with having two libraries across Serato and Traktor.
Traktor needs to start listening to the needs and wants of it's customers if it wants to stay relevant in this decade, by supporting emerging and current trends in the DJ community, rather than focusing on the pet projects of NI staff or big club DJs. Sorry if that sounds inflammatory, but that's how it looks on this side of things.
Because of integrations with Phillips Hue and Denon, Soundswitch is becoming more and more the lighting and DMX software of choice for mobile and bedroom DJs. No one cares for Rekordbox in this regard, only Soundswitch.
Many people have been requesting this feature now on the older forum for over a year. Please, please, please come around to our way of thinking :)
Cheers,
Lee
Feature request: Custom Hot Cue Colors
Will we ever get customer hotcue colors similar to VDJ, Serato, and Rekordbox?
Dynamic playlist like Traktor DJ 2
As evidence in Traktor DJ 2 the code is already there, can we get it ported to Traktor Pro 3

My Traktor S4 Screen Hack Is Returning!
A lot of people will be happy to know that updates will be retuning to my Traktor S4 screen hack.
If anyone is unfamiliar with my work, here is an article from DjTechTools from a few years ago when moving waveforms and the browser was added.
The project now has probably 10 times the amount of features and controls now as well as a full overhaul of the controls to allow the S4 and hack to work in perfect synchronisation.
Sadly due to music production, DJ residencies and Traktor limitations updates slowed down. After a year using it properly in clubs (15+ hours a week) with no live crashes since its creation, I have had plenty of time to assess the project as a whole and will be updating several things as well as adding new features.

A positive review of Maschine Plus
Although I had a folder-question and nobody replied yet, I continued without help, trying to find out what works best for using my own 'sounds'. Although my thumb-drive wasn't showing any folders (it simply showed all sounds in alphabetical order), my SD-card was a better way to organise my sounds (User Content).
Connecting the Maschine+ in storage mode allowed me to make a folder structure. Some folders didn't show up. The content (AIF) in these folders I dropped in Adobe Media Encoder, exporting all sounds as new AIF's. I deleted the old files, and voila, after a 'rescan' in Maschine all my sounds (and invisible folders) are now available in Maschine+.
I read so many negative comments about Maschine+, that I felt the need to write something positive . I've been working with Maschine+ now for 7 days, allowing me to dive deep into all possibilities. I think it's amazing! All my own sounds pre-listen without hick-ups, Maschine is running smooth. I also connected my Novation Bass Station 2, receiving midi from Maschine and sending it's audio back into Maschine. It all works flawless, I'm really impressed!
It's amazing to have all these options available to you without the use of a computer. I'm considering buying a powerbank, simply because I would like to take this device everywhere! The idea of making music without a computer screen is something I always wanted. I changed my setup so many times, buying and selling gear, simply to find out that it's too complicated for me, spending more time on technical problems than creating music. When I wanted to continue a project I worked on the previous day, I first needed to 'activate' all other gear and select all setting on each device. This is so annoying if you're used to produce 'in the box'.
Maschine+ has made it possible for me to leave the computer screen behind and be unlimited creative wherever I want. When I load a project/song it's exactly how I left it, no need to pick presets on other devices or route audio signals through a mixer in order to hear everything.
So, yes, I'm very happy with Maschine+ !

Re: Status on m1/m2 update?
Yes, NI has unique and amazing products, that’s why we are all using them.
But NI also has huge technological debt and ancient codebase and frameworks. So who should we blame for years of lack of HiDPI and VST3 for PC, also Apple?
The sad truth is that NI can’t deal with ANY technological change on ANY platform in a timely fashion.
I get that you are anti-Apple, many PC users are. But a bit of objectivity wouldn’t really hurt…
