Traktor Pro 4 + Beatport Link + Timecode. Software freezing. Audio and timecode still working.

Hi,

I have just upgraded to Traktor Pro 4 and I'm using the Beatport Link to stream tracks (no offline option, just stream/download).

After a few minutes playing, I clicked on a random Beatport folder (something like Genres > House/Techno/Drum'n'Bass/etc.) Then the Traktor interface just froze and I couldn't click anything else. My mouse cursor turned into a spinning rainbow and nothing worked until I forced quit the application. The only applications running at the time was the Native Access and Traktor Pro 4.

Interestingly, the timecode was working perfectly and the audio playback didn't stop. Just the software interface somehow got stuck.

I'm running on a MacBook Air M1 8GB (base model), Traktor Audio 10 mk1, two turntables, two control vinyl mk2, an analog mixer, and everything is connected to a professional rack mount power hub.

Some thoughts:

1. I don't believe the problem is related to the audio interface. Just as a side note I had a few issues playing old control records (mk1) on the newer traktor versions, but I decided to switch to mk2 records completely. So, problem gone.
   
2. Maybe this is something related to my MacBook, but I just formatted it recently, and I basically have just Pro Audio software there. So, I don't think my mac is the problem.
   
3. There is a good chance that this a software problem. And it just happened with Beatport Link, which I think is the root cause.

Did anyone experience a similar issue when running Traktor Pro 4, Timecode, and Beatport Link?

Thank you
