Traktor LE... stuck in a bad place.
So I just got my Vestax TR-1 in the mail today. Looks like a really nice controller, and very solid build quality. It came with Traktor LE, I only had the demo of Traktor before.

When setting up the controller with in Traktor LE, I selected the TR-1 (also tried the TR-1 LE) as the USB controller pre set. Lots of functions are not working as I'd expect for them to be mapped (cue's are non existent on this setup, cue keys are mapped to loops, and few other oddities? I switched it to the 'demo' mode for Traktor Pro, loaded a TR-1 tsi I found on Vestax website... and now everything works pretty much as expected.

I noticed on the LE version you can't import custom tsi's... and you can't customize the controller. What a poor way to sell your software and it's compatible controllers, when you don't give full control (even if limited on other features: recording, efx, time limit, etc)

So here's the really tough bit. Now with Traktor 2 coming in April, what do I do? If I read right Traktor LE 1 can upgrade to Traktor 2 at $139... but that's not until April. Traktor LE 1 to Pro 1 is the same $130, right now, than I'd pay more to get to Traktor Pro 2 in April. Should I just tough it out until April with this very mediocre and limited version of Traktor? Or should I bite the bullet and pay big?
