DVS improvements

Hi! I have some suggestions to improve the Traktor DVS:

  • Reduce latency: latency is too high in external mix mode for advanced scratching (even in the Traktor Audio 6). For example, I can't do fast chirp scratches with it. In my own experience, reducing below 3 ms is only possible without having audio problems with Pioneer DJ hardware.
  • Not requiring calibration every time opening Traktor or changing anything in the audio routing: I know why is this set in this way. This is the automatic and secure way, best, efficient for professional use. But when I have my mixer always in the same environment in my studio, it's a little tiring to calibrate (and set manually to REL mode) each time I open Traktor or I change anything in the audio routing. What about a manual mode? Not by default, that's ok (like Rekordbox does): just the option ☺️
  • Fix the releasing issue: The DVS makes some "heavy pushes" when stopping and releasing (so the tone is higher than it should and then corrects it in half a second or so): melodic scratching is not possible (keylock could help, but sometimes it happens even with it on). Melodic scratch can be done with high torque turntables and good motor speed correction (like the Reloop RP-8000 Mk2).
  • Allow Phase’s DVS signal more naturally: if won’t be compatible with Phase HID, please at least make easier to stop the program “yelling” that the calibration failed. There are a lot of Phase users and yes, we know that there will be sticker drift with it (because of the lack of the absolute part of the DVS signal the program "doesn’t feel comfortable"). But we use it anyway.

Thanks for reading.
