I have actually done this before. I mean, it does not matter if its not the laptop you are going to buy, you just need something with the same specs (in this case the resolution). You just need to be convincing that you are serious about your buy. Naturally, do not chose the shop where you go most often, but another one. I mean, its not too much to ask for if you are about to buy a laptop for a couple of hundreds... IMO |

Go to the shop, ask if you can install a version of Traktor before you buy it |

Im on a 17" full high def and love it, i could go with a slightly higher resolution so i could bit both Ableton and Traktor on the same window better - but i do alright. |

And now again my question:
is it possible to save cue points,beat-grids etc. within the mp3-tags like it was in Traktor 3 via "Write File Tags (Async)" ? |

19.11.2008 | i know i'll be safe with a 17" . but then i'll loose some portability and that's just what i was doubting about with a 15" 1920 x 1200. |

Oh well, I did understand you wrong. To make things look BIGGER in Traktor Pro is not a problem, its making things smaller that is... so I guess you are safe haha |

the resolution should allow that you see 4 full decks, the fx panel & the browser.
i know that on a 17" you can read everything fine, but on a 15" it could become to small and would result in me using a microscope
15" mac books only go to 1440 x 900

"When" they have fixed their issues? People were still bitching about the major issues in 3.4.1 before TPro was released. If you follow the NI Traktor community
s it's painfully apparent that NI's testing is inadequate, they ignore major and consistent gripes from their beta testing pool in favor of their own murky agenda, releases have essentially been public betas since at least 3.0, and major features have never worked as advertised. I'll make an Amazing Criswell Prediction: NI will never "fix" TPro. They'll improve it, and in the process they'll add new bugs while not fixing old ones, and lose functionality while gaining poorly working new functions. Just like every release since 2.6. I still use v2.5.3 -- not because I'm especially crazy about it, but because it's the only one I trust. Two decks working is a thousand times better than four decks crashing. |

I'm also in the software industry, but my company would never release an application without thorough functionnal testing. Even though there can be bugs in a release, the core functionnality will always be bullet proof. Ok, I am in the financial world, where bugs can have huge consequences; but for a company like NI which is kind of market leader and is backed up by a large amount of djs,
releasing something public with troubles in audio continuity and sound quality is as bad as if calculations were made wrong in financial software.
Remember as well that rock solid stability was amongst the main selling points when they launched the traktor pro advertising campaign.
Anyway, when they will have fixed their issues, made configuration better (I wish they had a more visual keyboard/controller mapping screen), and added
some small but missed features, I believe the software will be great. They should have gone public beta, at least for registered users. |

Yups. Same here. But I thought, what the heck, let's try it.

Also what sucks even harder about the tempo bending:
You have to let Traktor get your songs back on track slowly, you cannot twist or bend it yourself.
Ah well, f- it.. I will add another evening
of agony toevening
.
Who knows, I might find something that will help me and I will be laughing about these two posts here. |

I actually am furious about this, I will probably stay with Traktor DJ Studio 3.4.1 because of this!

10.11.2008 | Yes I agree, Im a bit disappointed that they release the product in such a manner. Im eager to use it in a live set but its too risky, with these many bugs. Until then, Im just going to use it in house. |

Indeed, it sounds kind of distorted...Must say I played with Traktor pro this saturday evening
, rather unhappy with it:
- had problems with audio 8: sometimes one of the channels would go away
- could not put my decks in absolute mode even though calibrating was perfect
- the settings dialogs are buggy
- completely freezed once
- some pops during the set
As a result, I turned it off a 2.30pm, restarted the mac (cause traktor pro did not want to syop) and finished the evening
my good old traktor scratch.
Don't know if it is the latency I selected (44.1khz, 7ms), but anyway in my opinion such problems are show stoppers. You cannot afford having so much troubles when playing in a club |

Thats probably because the pitchfader isnt sending out traditional data while the other parts of the mixer are - looks like the mini translator is going to continue to be essential. |

With traktor 3.4 i needed to start up mini.translator and adjust the midi settings but with pro it works fine without. Only the mapping is a hell, the lights/leds of the buttons/knobs/faders have different midi nrs as the button/knob/fader itself. I wrote down all the midi nrs of each light/led so now im getting somewhere, but still a long way to go... |
