Traktor 2024 outlook

Lazzu · March 10

My 2024 roadmap is to switch to pioneer as it has the features I need.

I hope Friedmann will hear us- Soundswitch Lighting will be a great integration for Traktor

I guess new Traktor hardware is out of the question. We could really use a single deck S4. The X1 is nice and all but just so not for me.

@armax9 with all the things that are still borked about Traktor, DMX and video support is definitely not happening anytime soon. personally I'd recommend you look at proper VJ software anyway, unless video scratching is relevant to you*. Resolume can be synced to Traktor via Ableton Link and can spit out DMX as well.

*) there are ways to facilitate video scratching in resolume, but it requires some mid-tier nerd skills😉

@DJ-Andre if you get users to actually show activity on a freaking forum in 2024, you should really pay attention to them because they're the ones who really give enough of a sh1t to sign up and tell you what sucks. just a thought.

Something like a D3 should have happened around the time the S4mk3 was released, and even then it would've been late.

I'm sure the entirety of the TRAKTOR team is scrambling to implement those features you didn't bother to mention to make sure you don't leave us.

This forum is full of those feature requests. I'm just another dude wishing they existed in Traktor.

if you think that anyone is scrambling to implement the features people actually enumerate, well, not sure how to break it to you...

you don't have to break anything to me mate, last time I listed all the screw-ups I got banned for 2 years ^^

(which will never stop being funny, it's like blocking someone on twitter - oh noes how will I ever recover)

That's weird, I do that all the time. NI don't care and even sends me free tshirt.

Maybe the social media strategy changed since your ban.

oh, there was a time I got the free shirts, too. you got the HØRNY MASCHINE one? 😁

in order for a strategy to change, you first have to have a strategy... kek

edit: "h0rny" is actually on the bad word filter list, that's some bullshît 🤣
