Kontrol s2 mk3 audio cutting out sequoia m4 max mac

12deejay12

The audio keeps glitching/cutting in and out/skipping when using my kontrol s2 mk3 with traktor 3 and 4 .

I am on a macbook pro m4 max, so no issue with cpu, I plugged the kontrol into a old 2016 macbook pro with older os Monterey, and no issues, works fine.

ive tried buffer, sample rate etc and does not fix.

anyone else had this issue and resolved?

As of now all M4 chips are not yet officially supported by Traktor Pro 4. Usually this shouldn't cause much issues. But here were some other reports about issues with M4 chips in the community therefore there maybe is really something that NI has to fix. With M3 official support was added with Traktor Pro 4.1.0 in November 2024 - more than a year after release of M3 Macs. Especially newer chips with more sophisticated energy saving measures can cause issues with real time audio even if they are really powerful. Traktor Pro itself doesn't need much computing power but it needs it constant and reliable.

Already using Traktor Pro 4.2.0 or an earlier version? Meanwhile there is macOS 15.6. Have you installed it and did that change something? Something else running/installed on your Mac that keeps the chip busy in background?
