NI Traktor with S4 MK3 - Does not play next song - in live session

A_S

Hi everyone,

Sometimes I have the problem that the next song just does not play. I can load it into the deck and the display also shows me everything normally. When pressing play however nothing happens.

This happens every now and then after some time. Restarting Traktor solves the problem but is not really an option when being live.

I have a video link where you can see the problem:

On deck A a song is playing, I load the next song in deck B and want to play it. Unfortunately without success.

This happens with all songs that I load in deck B. No matter if from a playlist or directory.

Otherwise the S4 MK3 - Traktor - Fujitsu Lifebook combination works without any problems.

It doesn't happen often (1-2x with several hours of running time). I could not recognize a pattern either (certain song etc.).

Maybe someone knows what the problem is or what I can do in such a situation besides turning off the music and restarting the software.

Software is of course up to date.

Thank you.

Touch and move the jog for a quick moment.

Hello,

in the video was a controller connected while pressing the play button? Have you tried another usb port on the computer where it happens, and try to delete the mapping and load it new or use the wizard in the preferences on the bottom.

it could be the "Jog Touch" got stuck on Deck B.

Yes controller S4 MK3 was already connected and working for hours. After closing the NI software and open it again it work for hours. I do have the problem very rare.

It happens with both USB ports. I will check to delete the mapping while NI software is on.

Its important to solve the above problem while the recent song is playing because I don't want to shut down the software which means I have no music.

I think no. Because the Decks work well for hours.

Just saying how it looks. It happened with my S4 MK3 before too.

I had it in the JOG mode and it locked down the touch sensor on Deck B. I will post a video here if I duplicate it - same behavior as in your vid.

Ok, understood. And how did you solve this?

I am not sure but I think I tried this. But I will try again if the problem happens again.
