This has happened to me once before but twice tonight on a Mixcloud livestream. The decks suddenly stops, the waveform blurs and that's it, I cannot do anything else with that deck.
All other controls appear to be OK. I can still browse tracks, I can change the deck to a Remix Deck or a Live Input but when I change back to a Track deck, the track is still loaded and it will not play. I cannot load another track using my S4Mk3 load encoders. I cannot drag a track to the deck. I can save my collection but Traktor will not close - it will say "flushing tasks" and then spin forever. macOS then reports the application as not responding.
I tried switching off "Load only into stopped deck" whilst in this state - no joy. I turned my S4Mk3 off and back on again - no joy. I had to Force Quit Traktor.
My setup:
- MacBook Pro 2019 2.4Ghz 8-core i9 / 32Gb / 2Tb
- macOS Sequoia 15.2
- Kontrol S4 Mk3 with Kontrol F1 connected via rear USB
- Traktor Pro 4.1.1
I don't recall seeing this mentioned here before. Has anyone else experienced this? It's odd that it appears to be a deck that's crashed rather than the whole Traktor application.
