What Traktor features do you wish it had?

What Traktor features do you wish it had? Posted on: 10.05.2013 by Toya Spor For me, I imagine it having a much more enhanced controller mapping editor, OSC support, and maybe support for "scripting". I believe many a person would appreciate a more intuitive way to map their controller to Traktor. Imagine pressing a button on your controller to instantly slice up the song into X parts or change to another mapping, or writing a script to detect parts of a song and place cue points there dynamically. Anyone else wish Traktor had something it didn't?
Doreen Schurle 18.05.2013	Originally Posted by makar1 Well it works great on my overpriced CDJs I mean the zoomed waveform, not the track stripe. Pretty sure even the Nexuses just do stripe...
Doreen Schurle 18.05.2013	Originally Posted by makar1 HID output already exists, it's the controller manufacturers job to build the device 1st. Of waveforms? You sure about that?
Danae Dumler 18.05.2013	Originally Posted by OmniRoss ? It never went anywhere? I mean the ability to record your actual mixing and edit it, not the ability to record your mixes. This was in Traktor Studio 3 and has been gone since Traktor Scratch Pro. Like Serato's "mixtape" functionality, which is not just about recording the sound.

Jetta Drenzek 18.05.2013	Originally Posted by OmniRoss I didn't mean can YOU as such, but I believe a lot of people who would use that feature would actually make them lazier than they already are with the sync button, as far as mixing two tracks are concerned. (Fair enough if you're looping and stuff). Haha I know :P But if that's their prerogative then let them be I say, it's them who look like absolute novices when they have to b2b.
Annalisa Shogren 18.05.2013	Originally Posted by Sambo Well all perceived insults aside, yes I can beatmatch, but when I'm trying to use the remix deck with old funk songs, I 90% of the time have to export the loop and edit it within Ableton and then put it back into Traktor. I should just be able to grab a loop and it work on the fly.

Alphonso Deitchman 18.05.2013	Zoomed waveform would let Traktor overshadow Rekordbox, and since noone else has bothered to make a controller that can even show the stripe waveform, there's no reason for Pioneer to open up such a key feature.

Doreen Schurle 18.05.2013	Dynamic (variable tempo) beatgrids with the ability to manually drag/adjust the beatgrid (and spacing between bars) visually, with a corresponding change in track tempo; this would be particularly useful for tracks like Mauro Picotto - Komodo and Lil Louis - French Kiss. Aaaaand... HID output of waveforms so we can have LCDs on our controllers.

Vi Melroy 18.05.2013	...VST support...
Annalisa Shogren 18.05.2013	Originally Posted by Sambo I believe flexible beat grids or even Ableton style quantising would be something we all want to see. Whenever I read stuff like that, I always believe 'can you actually beat match or what?'.
Jetta Drenzek 18.05.2013	That would be a ridiculously useful feature. I believe flexible beat grids or even Ableton style quantising would be something we all want to see.
18.05.2013	i wish it had the ability to sync in half time, ie VDJ.
Jetta Drenzek 18.05.2013	Shuffle function on playlists, so you can prep the tracks with the fade-in and fade out points, go for a quick pee/smoke and it mixes random songs for you. A DJ I work with has a 15 minute old school mix he plays when he needs to go for a break and the crowd at this point have figured it out haha.
Annalisa Shogren 18.05.2013	Originally Posted by Cook Pretty sure there is a send/return in the internal part of traktors routing, not sure how well it works though There is, it's not all that bad either...

Lillia Datson 18.05.2013	Originally Posted by hola amigos No beat matching just throw songs on there without having any clashing. It's got a sync button and a key finder, that should help!
Jolynn Schroyer 17.05.2013	No beat matching just throw songs on there without having any clashing.
Marjorie Fallucca 17.05.2013	Better iTunes Library integration Smart Playlists Otherwise I have nothing to complain about.
Danae Dumler 17.05.2013	My wishlist: 1) Decent library management. The Traktor music library is godawful, and the iTunes integration makes it even more confusing. Something like Serato's library would be awesome and doable. 2) Decent controller manager. Let me select several items and change one part all at once, or delete, or copy and paste, or even navigate with the freaking arrow keys and shift-click. 3) VST support would be really nice - it's probably the only additional "feature" I want to see - I don't care about video, don't need more samplers, remix decks, or any of that stuff. Traktor effects are awesome but it's limiting to not be able to use effects that you can use with other software. 4) Rewire would be awesome and would probably obviate the need for #3. 5) More flexible beatgrids, it's only been the biggest requested thing since 1991 or whatever. If they don't want to give us the ability to have two different bpms, at LEAST let us reset the beatcount when we add a second or third beatmarker. That much is a no-brainer but seems to have been ignored. 6) Triplet on the gater and beatmasher. 7) GUI updates would be nice; specifically the ability to browse the collection on a different monitor, but being able to maximize the waveform for gridding would be cool too as someone posted above 8) bring back the mix recorder... or something like it (kind of like mixtape functionality in "the bridge"). 9) Stop needlessly crippling the software - open the remix decks to other controllers and let us use TSP functionality with our DB4s. 10) the biggest and most important change of all... a responsive customer service from NI that doesn't treat users like idiots and actually takes into account feature requests.
Janella Gripe 17.05.2013	Vinyl break (adjustable cdj style) when you start/stop a track
Yu Santellano 17.05.2013	Im surprised this thread isn't already ten times longer than it actually is! 1. A copy/paste function in the MIDI mappings, and mass duplication/deletion (i.e. I can ctrl+click then copy a large group of commands). 2. Colours and/or values on the level meters and master meter. I know the master meter has colours already, but I'd like ones you can see BEFORE you hit them. 3. Proper transport controls on the remix decks, so they work more like ordinary decks. 4. And a parallel deck view, of course.

Johnsie Kingrea 17.05.2013	Originally Posted by Mabonzo 1) Maschine integration, something similar to the Bridge or better 2) Proper itunes library integration those would make me very happy As cool as the concept is for the Bridge i've yet to see any DJ's really take advantage of the features, and so far it seems like support has slipped for the Bridge. I believe the trouble with the Bridge is that the feature is tied to 2 different companies with 2 different agenda's. I'm sure this makes product updates a bit of a hassle cause now you have to work with coordinate with a separate company rather then just having everything in house. If NI decides to do something similar, they're better off creating their own solution rather then tying it to someone else's software (i.e. Ableton) If you're looking to do clip launching, the remix decks are a suitable replacement, if you're looking for the mixtape feature that's a different story. I believe eventually NI will integrate Maschine as a post mix device where you can tidy up your mix from Traktor and add in some extra stuff.

Edris Acevedo 17.05.2013	Picth bend on remix decks for those times your slightly out.
Kellie Myrum 17.05.2013	-Possibility to record loops from specific deck target without Cue monitor on. Plus midi for each source. -Echo freeze effect in group FX mode. -Mapping commands for Master clock and recorder panels.
Leota Dolney 12.05.2013	Originally Posted by Jester Updates that don't break the software. Now you are just asking for something ridiculous.
Latoria Kavulich 12.05.2013	Updates that don't break the software.
Rodolfo Oriol 12.05.2013	1) More customization on your deck layout. A "edit mode" where you can just grab a deck or mixer or fx and have the ability to move it around. The ability to minimize boxes. 2) A smart track browser. I'm not a big fan of the track browser, I want it to be more like Ableton's. Gives more space and easier to navigate. 3) Easier routing to other daws, softwares or hardwares. 4) Add macro effects, just like ableton's to create a chain of effects to make a build-up. With these macro effects you can modulate the volume, the dry/wet, EQ'S and so on.
Kellie Myrum 12.05.2013	In that case you can duplicate that track in any deck and preview effect in there
