Traktor Pro 4 is here!

Hello, do you know how many computers the Traktor Pro 4 update can be activated on? My Traktor Pro 3 license is linked to Traktor S4 mk3 and I have it installed on two computers.

You simply shouldn't compare apples with oranges.

This really baffles me. Sure, it's fairly cosmetic - but it is important. It makes the software feel clunky and dated, regardless of what is going on under the hood. It gives the impression that NI is behind the curve and stuck in the past. And so many DJs are using Macbooks with Retina screens.

Are you confusing me with someone else? I just said that you're forgetting the F1. It's still available to buy and works wonderfully with stems.

I didn't say anything about the file size, I just pointed out that the entry doesn't appear twice in the collection, but that the files are linked in the background. Even with an entry in the collection, we can always choose whether we want to load a Track Deck or a Stem Deck with it.

I don't care about the size of the stems generated. I use lossless files whenever possible, so I'm already used to this big file size. There is also the option of outsourcing the storage location for the generated .mp4 (stems). So you can also create the additional space with an external SSD if you need it.

good catch! was discussing these behaviors with a few other users before and we have no clue how to solve this problem. in the promo video I can see perfect bar markers overall. even after tempo changes. maybe we missing something in the preferences?

Thanks for the answer @OliverGross, could you send me the a screenshot of the whole post that explain how all this works please ? I'm very curious, thanks in advance.

Hi @Gundz,

I can send you a detailed explanation for the new beatgrids by Friedemann that we got. My answer for you was specific for your question, that in such cases you didn't get plain values like 128.000 and that's because of the tempo zone you defined.

Here is the explanation how the FlexiGrids are working in general:

"Traktor FlexiGrids in their current version allow to define multiple zones with steady tempo between two grid markers. It is not making tempo a transition from tempo 1 to tempo 2 by itself.
So tempo transitions must be realized via multiple grid markers - usually one per bar is enough in areas of strongly fluctuating tempo.

In contrast to the old, steady BPM beat grids, which reset the beat-phase at each new grid marker (keeping the tempo steady throughout the track, FlexiGrids disallow phase skips, by prescribing the tempo between two grid markers to ensure an integer number of beats between two manually set gridmarkers.

This fundamentally changes the way of setting grids away from typing or tapping BPM towards manually setting grid markers and let Traktor calculate the BPM between two markers.
You can correct Traktor's BPM assumption by typing in a ballpark BPM, which Traktor will round to the next allowed value."

Hope this clarifies it more for you. It's really a clever way to grid such tracks and get a tight syncing overall.
