DESPERATE to get Traktor Pro 2.x.x and DenonDJ MC6000mk2 controller to work on old Win7 laptop
I’m here out of desperation!
I’ve been trying to get my MC6000mk2 to work with Traktor on an old Dell Inspiron laptop (i3, 8gb ram) running Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit - with zero success!
InMusic\Denon support have been less than useless, so here I am.
I know that MS no longer supports Windows 7. This is not a problem, as the laptop will not be connected to the web, and will be used purely for seeing how tracks work together etc.
I’m mad at myself because it used to work fine - until I reinstalled Windows WITHOUT creating a system image backup first. DOH!
Nothing I’ve tried works. Ditto suggestions tried through many hours spent online.
To avoid a lengthy post, please see attached to get a flavour of the problems.
Desperately hopig that someone here can help.
Thanks in advance.

1- First of all, use your driver (Denon DJ driver, not Windows one!) together with ASIO. Check for the latest update, if exists.
2- Then for x-fader and channel faders and all the rest to work, you must use a template. Traktor has templates for MC6000 and MC6000 LE. If they don't work get one from DJTechTools:
If you can not download for some reason, here it is:
3- Uninstall Windows generic driver from Control Panel -> Device Manager if it is indeed there (if you don't see the exact name, check for any Unknown of Failed devices and remove them all).
There is nothing more really, it should work after doing the above.
NOTE: Also, as a rule, always install your driver first, and only then plugin your device!

In any case, here are the appropriate files from DENON website:
DJ Controllers
MC6000 Mk 2 Firmware v1003.01 Download
Windows Driver v1.0.3 Download
Traktor Pro 2 v2.6 Mapping Files Download
MIDI Command List Download
Serato DJ Intro Mapping Guide Download

Also check if some other midi capable app is taking control over the MC6000 (since it is a PC).

Hi,
Thanks for the rapid reply!
I've tried everything you've suggested - multiple times - the only difference being that I used a different jay neural mapping.
However, it's Sunday, I'm not doing anything important, so I'll give it another shot.
Will let you not how it goes (or doesn't go).
Thanks again for the quick reply and iks.
