Traktor Pro 4 is here!

Ashley Brown · July 21

Is anyone else having trouble loading remix decks or step sequencer decks (.trak files) in TP4? No “remix sets” folder, so the .trak files just import as all the individual samples…? I don’t think I’m doing anything different from TP3, am I missing something?

Happy release for Pro 4!

I have a critical problem when using the 4-decks with the NI Audio 10 soundcard on macos.
The issue is the sound output for deck D doesn't work.
I have tried changing the sound card output routing and select another output channels for deck D, but the problem persists.
When using other soundcards with more than 8 outputs works correctly.

Dear NI, (@Friedemann_NI)

I decided to write you these lines because I learned a little while ago that the subscription on Traktor 3 will be eliminated on August 31st and in order to use the new functions that I already had on Traktor 3 Plus I will have to pay for the upgrade to 4.

Unfortunately, my old mac does not support Traktor 4 and therefore I find myself in the situation where, after having paid the Plus subscription for the year 2024, I will see this last one suspended and take away the additional services for which I paid.

Obviously I do not judge your business choices, which I understand, but I would like to invite you to think about the fact that not everyone can, overnight, spend €7/800 for a new mac (or pc) and that it would be appropriate to at least guarantee continuity of the paid services until their expiration.

I have been using Traktor since 2009 and I have always bought all the upgrades on day 0, but now I can't.

Why don't you leave the subscription active for those like me who don't have the possibility of upgrading to 4?
So, you'll have as a user 3 possible scenarios:

Old Traktor 3 (free, without addicional function)
Old Traktor 3 ( paid subscription with the features we had until 4 was released (Ozone and pattern player)
Traktor 4 for people who have supported machines

So that, those who have an old mac can pay the subscription and have ozone and pattern player like the old Plus, while those who can update pay for the upgrade.

I'm fine to paying another year of subscription, because, I don't know if I will be able to afford a new mac before august 31st.

I think it's a smart move since those who can't update will continue to support the development team by paying the subscription for the additional functions anyway. I prefer to pay another year, than be forced to buy a new mac to maintain some functions that I have already paid.

It's convenient for you and it's convenient for us users.

Hoping that these lines can be a subject of reflection, greetings from one of your historical customer.

Filippo

When we were asking for flexible beatgrids 20 years ago, we meant ‘warp to grid’.
What happened?

You can read up on this, perhaps you can use it to update your device to an operating system version 12.0 or higher.

I understand the feeling but there was no DJ software with wrapping beat grids 20 years ago. The first that I know of that had such a feature was Deckadance DJ in 2015 and then next was Djay Pro 5 in 2023. I think Live was in version 10, but that’s a DAW

So of all the DJ software only 1 everyone else has something similar to what Traktor Pro has.

Let others enjoy the whining and crying! There is no need for dropping dry facts in the face. 😁

It was the most requested feature request over the years, Ableton Live had instantaneous warping at the time.

My ridiculous manual workaround thread racked up an incredible number of hits and was stickied to the old forum for about 15 years.

Various generations of Traktor devs made it clear over the years that they understood what the feature needed to be and appreciated the complexity of delivering it. It’s just a shame that the corporate memory is far shorter than that of their users!

Maybe one day…

Soo…. Does this mean I can cancel my Traktor Pro Plus subscription before it renews (annual)?

No updates on that page, so it still sounds like everything is for the TP3 users and TP4 won't benefit. I also don't see it in the settings, but I did just install TP4 on a brand new laptop without installing TP3/TP+ first.

LOL - The length of time it takes for a single song on a brand new M3 MacBook Air w/16GB RAM is crazy. I didn't expect lightning but compared to just a regular analyze for a newly loaded track it's like watching water boil.

I only scratched the surface, but curious after some time how it compares to Rekordbox or Serato seperation. At least we get 4 parts and not just 3. :)

I'm currently using the demo version of Traktor Pro 4 and I have a problem: when I want to open a playlist from the archive, it has a few seconds of delay, it depends on how big the playlist is. With traktor pro 3, opening a playlist from the archive is instant, regardless of size

Amazing news! Thank you for shipping v4, it's an instant upgrade for me.

The only thing I need now is to save lossless stems in ALAC instead of lossy stems in AAC. IMO it should be a setting for users who consider storage a commodity and for which quality isn't a tradeoff. You are going in the right direction and might be the only player positioned to deliver high-quality stems for DJs.
