Re: Maschine software hangs while previewing kits - Bug (KBDSW-6977)
Same issue.
M1 Max. library resides on thunderbolt Glyph SSD. No audio interface other than MK3.
I do switch audio out regularly between, MacBookPro speakers, Built In (Apple headphones), and Airplay (Apple home pods). Maybe that's part of the secret sauce to instantiate the bug.
I have completely removed everything NI following the NI article, and reinstalled without success.
Currently working around the issue with either or of the methods below, both work:
1) reduce audio buffer size to less than 256, prevents crashing previewing patches in any way.
2) on startup or when loading a new project - hit browser - load whichever patch is currently selected. Once any patch has been loaded I can now scroll and preview any patches.

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.
