Traktor 3.9 Randomly Freezing and losing audio output
When Traktor freezes and you have to force close, does it still keep a traktor log to help figure out why it happened? I submitted a ticket but wanted to try here too. I've been with traktor for 6 years and never had a freezing problem like this before. I've been on 3.9 since the official release and haven't had any issues…
loops from remix sets overwrite each other in the All Samples file
Hi everybody, I'm building up a couple of remix sets, 5 so far, and up to today (almost) everything went fine. Today I started a new remix set, filling it up with loops and when I started to fill in the second column (B1, B2, etc.), each new Sample overwrote the previous one in the All Samples file after I played it three…

Is it possible to turn off the jog wheel ring lights on the Traktor S4 MK3? I’m thinking of purchasing the controller but not sure I will want the rotating ring to be on all the time.

S4 MK3 and turntables
Greetz guys, I see a lot of people complaining about humming noises when using turntables with their S4. May you try and put all your devices on the same power outlet, it might be 50Hz alternating current humming if you are located in Europe.
Is it possible to adjust the size of a single sample in a Remix Deck via UI and not controller?
I have a S4 MK3. I want to adjust the size/number of beats of a single sample in a Remix Deck. I know this is possible via a Kontrol F1. I haven't found a way to do this via the Traktor Pro 4 UI or the S4 MK3.

Saving active loop of a deck to remix deck S4MK3
When having an active loop, you can only save the loop to a remix deck slot by dragging the song title. On the S4MK2 you could click a remix slot button and it would capture the active loop (when source set to the deck you want) This works on the F1 as well, but not on the S4MK3. DJ Endo is his full tutorial also says, you…

Traktors next controller
NI havestated that they will not be releasing a traktor z2 mk2. I think NI should release a two or four channel controller with bigger motorised jig wheels to compete with the pioneer rev 7. They have the technology from the S4mk3, they would just have to upscale it. Traktor have lost a huge number of scratch dj’s because…
