So….. is there a short cut on the keyboard of my MAC that I can use to add tracks to the preparation list. Thanxxx
Make your own. The command can be assigned to any key (I always use '+'). You may have to reset any other command assigned to the same key to avoid double functions.
I just checked - it's there. What's missing as mappable is "Select as Preparation List".
Nope!
Traktor Pro 3 has 150 shortcuts, but "add to preparation list" is not included, because, really it is not some major or important function.
For Traktor Pro 4 i don't know (yet) but i do not think so too.
In case anyone wonders, here's the full list (for Traktor 3 at least):

Hey thank you for quick answer. So curious that it does not exist. I would find "add to preparation list a very useful shortcut", one I would use a lot. I use it at home, while preparing, and when I am making large playlists, I now just often whip out the small S2 so I have at my sitting desk where I have limited space. Because of the add to prep list button, it is a quick way to add a lot of songs to my prep list as I am browsing. On my standing desk where the S4 is, I use this button a lot as well. I would barely use it in a playing out situation, but in my prep it would avoid a lot of mouse clicks.
"Drag n' drop" is much faster than any button, imo…
i make huge playlists in seconds by, first shorting the tracklist by artist, genre, key or bpm (depending in what i want), then select the first track and click Ctrl + Shift to select all and drag them where ever i want.
I have never used the "add to preparation list" (or the preparation list itself) for over a decade, always thought it is a kind of amateurish thing… Of course, in your case, as you described it, looks like a good solution 😉
I love the prep list.
I sort a genre list or similar, then have keyboard shortcuts for "select next song and play in preview player", "fast forward preview player" and of course "add to prep list"
All the keys are close together. That way I can sit on the couch or in the bus/train/plane to the gig and single handidly pick songs.
Hmmmmmmmm…
Thank you all for the feedback
Yes very helpful and thorough, thank you for your time
