New Feature Idea: Matching Key/BMP Track Suggestion

This is probably for another thread, but I did not find a way to start a new discussion in the Traktor Ideas/Suggestions area.

Anyway, after playing around with Engine Prime gear for a while, one of the few things I miss when coming back to Traktor is the track MATCH suggestion while browsing. Anywhere within a playlist or even in your main collection window, you can press an onscreen button and activate the track suggestion filter, with which you only see tracks that match or are close to your current BMP and Key. You can also loosen or tighten the search parameters.

This is very helpful, specially with large libraries, where many eligible tracks pop up that you were not considering or are not confined to specific playlists.

This allows for more dynamic sets as opposed to simply choosing tracks from pre-established playlists. The track match feature is easier, practical, and very refreshing.

As a previous workaround, I had created a folder in Traktor containing smart playlists for every key, and would simply navigate from a certain KEY playlist into a neighboring one and choose from compatible tracks. I am also planning to create a second folder with smartlists that feature both matching keys plus one key above and one below, just to get wider suggestions that are still compatible. This will be a bit of work, and it'd be great to have a function to do this for you automatically.

Perhaps now that most of the main feature requests have been addressed in 4.0, this enhanced functionality might be considered for implementation. Fingers crossed.

Cheers!

    Yes. This was one of the features that was in Traktor DJ 2, and I was hoping that They would add it to Traktor DJ Pro 4. I will also keep my fingers crossed.
