TRAKTOR PRO 4.10 CRASHES M3 MAC

Billy Score

Traktor Pro 4 (now 4.10) continues to be unusable in my experience. Upgraded to 4.1, and at a gig last night it crashed at about an hour and a half into my set. Using M3 Mac and Kontrol S$ MK3. Apple Music was the only other software open. The "on air" deck cut out, then the next deck cut out. Every time I DJ with Traktor Pro 4 I presume it will crash. I thought the upgrade would fix the stability issues because of M3 Mac support. Not for me yesterday. Never using Traktor Pro 4 again (until the next upgrade).

Frustrating because (hardware complaint) the Kontrol S4 MK3 has no real standalone mixer mode, crashes are a real challenge. When a software crash occurs, if you unplug the usb from your computer, then hit the "ext" button on a channel on the Kontrol S4 MK3 then you can play from an external source, presuming you have an rca connected to that channel. But the gain is SO weak as to be virtually unusable, because even with gain set to max, and even all three e.q.'s turned up all the way, the signal is substantially quieter than the normal output from the S4. Each time this happened management is sure to come over and say "what is wrong…? Why is your music quiet?"

Maybe when the next generation of the Kontrol S4 comes out, it can have "real" standalone mixer inputs like the competition? All software crashes, but when there is actual standalone mixer functionality, which I define as an input that allows a song played from a phone/cd player/whatever, via RCA into the mixer output to be EQUALLY AS LOUD as what was playing from the software prior to the crash, which is currently not possible on the Kontrol S4 MK3.

Frustrating because (software complaint) in order to work at all, I have to use Traktor 3, which is the last stable release because Traktor 4.10 is guaranteed to crash.

Do you have a crash dump to share?

Billy Score

From what I can tell, one was not generated. In case I was looking in the wrong place, where are they stored on a Mac?

Update: used Traktor Pro 4.1 for two gigs this weekend, and it did not crash. Identical setup as before. So I'm thrilled. Each set was 4 hours.

Glad to hear. Did you change anything at all from when the crashes occurred? Is it the exact same version of Traktor or did you just update and that's why the crashes stopped?

Billy Score

Same everything - same computer, controller, didn't re-install software. So I'm baffled. I still run the output of the S4MK3 into a small external mixer so that if/when crashes occur, I have a recorded mix I can throw on. The one thing I can think of is that I have not been recording my mixes. However I have hundreds of GB of free space on my laptop. But not recording is the only difference.

I had a big problem tonight in a gig at a local club, TP4 crashed 3 times, 3 fckn times!! in less than two hours, I don't know what could be causing it, my MacBook Pro M3 Pro is almost new and I haven't any cracked software, all legit. I'm really angry because the manager came twice to see why the music was cut off, and I had to put my phone with apple music in a channel to cover the mess and wait until the software restart.

I will reinstall but if this ****** continues I will go back to Pioneer, this is unusable for professional performances
