New CDJ1500x - close to what a jog and screen based modular controller for traktor should be
The new cdj1500x is close to what I would imagine a decent single deck (dual layer) traktor controller should look like. Hotcues, loop encoder (shift for beat jump - although AT stupidly doesn't have this feature on a physical control), jog wheel, nice quality screen. It is simple, clean and would be very popular at the…

TRAKTOR 4 vs Traktor 3.11.17
From where i was kicked out of pro 3, the update with 4 sucks. Snap cues; hot cues - align with the beatgrid rather than placement of my choice. As a turntablist this is essential. If there’s a way to turn 4 over to the team from 3.11.17 to implement the parameters those of us that use turntables would be happier.

Remove maschine 3.0 entirely from my M+, Library, and ACCOUNT

Why does 1 of 2 instruments in an ensemble reset the other when the panel switch is used.
Is there any possible way to isolate 2 instruments in the same ensemble so this doesn't happen. The switch seems to be causing the problem. I have the same instrument combined with a different instrument that has no switches in another ensemble and that works fine. Out of options here, any suggestions?

Opened Ticket - Was hoping to get this working before the 4th
I put in a ticket to get this S/N transferred to me so I can use this new MIDI controller. It was a DEMO by Guitar Center. They had to register it to get it to be used in a store. It was sold as NEW and you can tell it was never used for more than just turning on. I need to the S/N or license released so I can register it…

Just one little Midi Recording tweak, please!
As Maschine is very nice and quick for tapping in notes it’s well known that it lacks a bunch of modern sequencing features like probability, polymeters and midi fx. An obvious workaround would be to use an external sequencer but there is one Maschine behavior that makes this solution annoyingly tricky to use. Whenever I…
