Messages from TRAKTOR

Coming up to six months since the last BETA and all we've received is some news about a new feature that no one asked for in the survey. If it turns out to have as many bugs as Beatport/Beatsource, will it further delay the new codebase? Probably.

I think we're all getting frustrated to be honest, but all we can do is hope the new team are truly invested in the long term vision of Traktor.

I'm at the point now where I've started using Serato exclusively (last month or so) and it remains to be seen whether I'll come back to Traktor in the future.

Denon Prime series works with Serato. Tidal works with Serato. Soundswitch works with Serato. My Wolfmix W1 works with Serato. Ableton Link works with Serato and open format mixing. Roland's gear works with Serato (better than Traktor). Why should I come back to Traktor? Could be at least a year before even one of these features reaches TP4.

I think VDJ is amazing and quite honestly has features that go beyond Traktor.

... yet their 3rd party hardware support is amazing (Rane One and Pioneer DDJ-REV7 as of April). Traktor's adversion to 3rd party HID platter support (spinning and static) has become a serious limitation IMHO and should be seen as a development priority. Get the DJ fundamentals working with hardware DJ's want to use, before focusing on drum machines and new/improved FX.

It must be very nice to receive a personalised version of Traktor ;)😜

I'd like my personal version to have a gridding system that allows for changing tempos, doesn't even have to be elastic grids, something like Engine Prime has would be great.

I want drum machine :-) but ive not got latest generation hardware... I do have z1, z2, x1mk2, f1 and an aging denon mc6000 (mk1!) that still gets dusted off.... and I keep watching s2 and s4 mk3's on ebay... but im waiting to see how they are going to integrate the "drum machine" with those before deciding if I want more gear. (well I always want more gear..).

pretty sure they will do something with the f1 as they did that already, and the s4 mk3 already has a limited drum sequencer.... but would the s2 mk3 get it? doesnt have the "record" (mappable?) button like the s4 but it does have the same 8 pads.

cmon tell us something NI.... the suspense is killing me (us). Doesnt look like you are at NAMM again this year? And superbooth didnt have any traktor announcements.... so when?

not to join the band wagon but everyone on here is correct ive been using NI since i was i think 19 im now 30 and still screaming F@%K! every time it updates or i get new hardware when its first dropped ALWAYS issues and now i have the latest pro 3 with my s4 mk3 and it literally cant set a beat grid on tracks from beatlink aka beatport so i wonder have 1000s of producers just not grid their tracks correct or is it your software? along with organizing by key or bpm in my offline and link folders mid set it will just snap back to random order that it was places in the playlist also changes in my settings do not stick nor do the tracks i actually grid im by the book with this and i have a degree in software i can tell you that NI i love but the past 2 years has just been empty promises i got the s4 mk3 i spent 1400 on it and many other products of yours yet im still having issues that are clearly on your end of the updates. its just upsetting i drop all this money on your products and have minor and major issues...and before we get the people in IT over here my computer's are more than capable of handling a full studio i know its not my hardware i just want it to work properly. i feel thats fair considering my purchase amount over the years could have been a down payment on a tesla literally... i just want to be able to open your software and play a set not having to worry if something goes wrong
