Reply to Serato defector needs Traktor help please!

Hey guys

In the last couple of weeks I've switched from SL/SDJ to Traktor Scratch, for all except my video gigs.

And I am loving it, I must say.

The only downside is the rather unfriendly-looking NI community ; I've been active on the Serato one for a long time and it just doesn't compare.

So I thought I'd ask my question here where the Traktor pros hang out!

I have an issue with autogain.

It's the same with 2.6.2 and 2.6.3 on OSX.

I mix externally using a DJM and an A6.

I'm finding that when I load Traktor, even though autogain is ticked in the prefs, it doesn't seem to function unless I open up the mixer panel to show gains and click them to turn them orange.

I can then close that panel and it works all evening .

I've done my research, I read the article on NI's site so I understand what the blue and orange knob states mean.

But then, when I click from blue (deck gain) to orange (track gain), making no changes, I can hear, and see on the mixer VUs, the change in level.

This shouldn't be the case, right? Is this a bug I need to report, or is there something I'm missing?

Cheers!
