Active location in library resets to 1st track in library when opening browser in TP4.5
For the longest time, if I open the browser from my Kontrol S4 Mk3, it's opened at the last location I have loaded a track from. Now, when I open the browser, the selected track resets to the very top of my library. This completely ruins my workflow in Traktor. I have tracks sorted by Key and then BPM, which helps me…

4Deck Vertical Layout
Mixing with 4 decks, I find the 2 x 2 layout confusing as any mixer has the channels 4 in a row. It would be good to have a layout that arranges the decks as 4 vertical stripes to match the mixer. I think it would be possible by stacking the buttons in to more rows, and having all the mixer controls at the bottom. Also,…

TP4 & Z2 Problem
I recently acquired the TP4, and only just tried it with my Z2 (with firmware 51). I saw there's another similar thread, but this one is different.

Xone PX5 external mode post fader fx??
(ENGLISH) Hi, I have an Xone PX5 mixer, and I've run into a problem. The thing is, if I want to use a reverb or delay from Ableton, when I lower the fader, the effect sound disappears, since the mixer is running in external mode with Traktor, and the effect sound is routed to the same channel as the track. I can get this…
