Please help. Traktor Pro 3 with S3 freezing mid song during gigs.
It happened to me twice this week. During a song the waveform gets suddenly blurry and it stops. i can navigate, load a new song, but hitting play won't do anything.
My config: M1 Pro 16 inch MBP running the latest macOS with the latest Traktor Pro 3 update (this only happen after the latest macos update this week and I am not sure if that could possibly be the cause). NI Traktor Kontrol S3 console (S3Updated says it's on the latest firmware 0.2.0). I've had it for some time now and have had no problems with it, connected through a UDG cable (usb-c, usb-b) that i bought 2 months ago. Also i have around 50GB of free space.
How it happened: I was playing a song, in a set of songs, that i've played before and were already imported, then suddenly the music stops, even though the wave form got blurry, but still moved. I could load a new song, but pressing play wouldn't do anything. I could use the move knob to move this song, and before the waveform got blurry it would play fine. Also, during the crash i got a view at the controller input indicator and it was of.
Also switched to a newer MBP M4 Pro with Traktor installed, that had the same files copied to it, and it happened there once again. This appears after some time after a restarting the app. For me it was between 1 hr and 4hr.
I also found nothing useful through the logs.
I isolated this possible things that could be happening:
- Sound library problem (used mp3val after the event to check the entire sound library and it did not find any problems, tho i want to do a deeper dive into it). Haven't experienced anything like this before that last gig and I store the sound library on folders on the internal macbook storage. At home I've tried again the song that froze with no problem.
- Traktor + macOS bug (highly unlikely, but since i changed the macbook with a newer one, and still got the same issue and even earlier in the set + had no problems before the macos update, i am not able to exclude this)
- Hardware problem: there might be something wrong with my S3 or the cable and that could be the cause for this freezes. (during a freeze the controller input indicator was off, and only turned on when i interacted with the console).
- My documents folder is in iCloud (but it's set with keep downloaded). On the new mac it wasn't synced to icloud.
I also read about the issue known as TR-572 and was wondering if that's the case, was it fixed?
