However the Traktor Audio engine will still only use one core. |

| Rosina Steinkuehler 31.05.2012 | I gave 2.5 the pepsi challenge and sad to say it's not ready for prime time. 1) Lag on jogs still an issue for custom mappers (2.0.3 does not have ANY lag at all) 2) On exiting Traktor it says "Flushing background operations" and will sit there forever (I let it sit for over 24 hours) It's a shame that we keep going backwards in terms of stability. I would rather see them stop adding new features for now and lets work out the bugs and get HID opened up to the vendors. Until then looks I'll be on 2.0.3 forever at the rate they are going |
| Hipolito Scionti 31.05.2012 | I was having a few little drop outs actually. I've turned on multi-core processor support and it's 100% solid now... Dunno really what that does but its worked MBP 2011 running Lion |
| Janise Pamphile 31.05.2012 | And after checking about every hour for the past week on the service center, you guys have pointed me to the website! Doh.... thanks!! |
| Rochel Gleese 31.05.2012 | Desktop for me |
| Marshall Aby 31.05.2012 | Typically downloads are downloaded to 'Downloads' |
| Kaiser T Tran 31.05.2012 | Quick Question: Where is the 2.5 remix deck content located on the Mac drive? Just DL'ed but cannot locate. Thx! |
| Kecia Wnukowski 31.05.2012 | I've updated to 2.5, then rolled back to 2.1.3 because of a change in mapping commands and how they are processed in the new version. It's a shame because I believe the appeal of the remix decks is great and even if I didn't plan to use a remix deck in an ableton-esque approach, I really wanted to take benefits of them to use the slots a bit like a fx machine, using sound effects, white noises, vocal shots and the like. Too bad for now. |
| Tatum Ansaldo 31.05.2012 | I never really got on with the sample decks, but now with the integrated hardware I've found the remix decks in 2.5 much more appealing. So after quite a long while of being a serato sith lord, I've ordered an F1 and I'm going to give traktor another go. Now, if only they'd support HID with my CDJ-850s... |

| Reva Poat 30.05.2012 | I know it s not that much related to our subject but ı want to ask this.I have Traktor Pro 2 and recently updated to 2.5 but now ı want to have Traktor Scratch Pro 2. But when ı go to the site of NI it says ı have to gualify with some products like , Audio Dj 4 , 6 and some more.But the problem is I only have right now is Audio Dj 2 and Traktor Pro 2.5.Does it mean ı cant upgrade my software ? |
| Lilliana Perris 30.05.2012 | Updated my OS last evening
to Snow Leopard and then updated to TSP2.5. Played with it a bit (just on my lap, no controller) and it seems fine. Had a look at the Remix Decks and then knew i had to RTFM. |

| Cristian Carmona 29.05.2012 | thanks guys for confirms the DVS issues. like Lotus prv stated, we are DJ's not beta testers. I guess ill be deleting 2.5 and freeing up +1.5 GB of space on my HD. I was really looking foward to trying out the remix decks on DVS with the soft sync on my 1200s. |
| Mikki Retana 29.05.2012 | The F1 is AWESOME. Perfect integration, great buttons, BRIGHT AS FUCK. I am loving it |
| Lilliana Perris 29.05.2012 | LOL! Remix! |
| Ira Alsadi 29.05.2012 | Why didn't I believe of that?! |

| Mariano Weigold 29.05.2012 | Someone help me please... I recorded a 30min warmup set, and now i wanted to listen to it but... theres no sound in the file^^ I did it the same as before with traktor 2.1.3 where recording was no problem at all... EDIT: Sorry for the post, after looking a bit through my preferences, i found out that i had mix record on external while mixing mode was on internal... -.- What a beginners fault |

This is the 4th (?) major version release and they still are going backwards in performance. |
| Laure Cantara 28.05.2012 | So far I have used 2.5 for many many hours. No shut downs or freezes. Nothing major that I can see affecting a gig. But then again, I am only connected with an S4. The only two things that I noticed that was mentioned before was with the remix deck. You have to hit the sample button twice for the slot to play. Unless i have something set wrong in which I use to have the sample play at each touch of the button. The other is that I like to use the rating stars to mark my favorite songs / remixes to use. One time it wouldn't let me choose a rating. i restarted 2.5 and no issue since. Are there any smiler experiences and has anyone use 2.5 successfully at gigs and parties? |
| Johnsie Kingrea 28.05.2012 | I'm confused as to why sometimes NI does public betas and sometimes doesn't. I know for some releases of Maschine they have. |

For some reason its saying my "Sample tracks" that come with traktor pro 2 are corrupted or missing files. And i like to use the sample tracks so i need to roll back to 2.1.2 so i can actually use my sample tracks. |
| Ira Alsadi 28.05.2012 | I'm using DVS JesC and I have encountered a few strange issues. I am having this issue where I will get random acceleration in the speed of a track which lasts only a second or two. It sounds like I am speeding up the record. I can't for the life of me reproduce it purposely. I also have random switching between absolute to relative when I pull the needle off the deck. Also, when scratching, it will randomly skip ahead in the track without the needle jumping. Good news is my MK1 vinyl still works. |
| Cristian Carmona 28.05.2012 | Dang! were not worthy...Gizmo came across the web to comment. personally im still having issues with my setup, anyone else using the DVS? |
| Lela Umanskaya 28.05.2012 | A drum buddy of mine summed it up pretty well, it would be like switching from Remo to Evans heads and then playing a show that same evening , not a good idea |
| Renaldo Chansky 28.05.2012 | Actually, there was more tech speak than management speak in that. But the last line does rather sum it up succinctly. |
| Johnetta Olewine 28.05.2012 | wow there is some management speak in that post Gizmo I'm just gonna focus group and brainstorm my situation to determine whether my market location with this landmark release is, or is not, mission critical and if I have the capacity and resources to effectively sandbox the current release at this present time without affecting project objectives and quality of outcomes... Should we conference call again a week? |

| Rey Holubar 28.05.2012 | I'm going to have to join the "oh shit, it has real issues" group. But thankfully, I don't do gigs....yet. My first impressions of 2.5 are very reserved (especially since I don't have an F1 either). I am sort of noticing performance improvements in some areas, but then have some issues in others like glitchy sound, when starting and stopping samples in the Mix Decks. This is a no-go for me and my Windows i3 setup. I can't imagine someone with a Core-Duo system even believeing about working with the Mix Decks and effects. I am going to play with my settings to see if I can get rid of the glitches, but if I can't, it would be a terrible step backwards for me. And the sync issue is a total no-go. 15 minutes into a mix and finding there is no real sync on a track with several beat markers is like, "Oh my god! No way dudes! Are you making me go back to having to beat match on purpose?" LOL! Another step backwards. So yes. This is a public beta and NI would be smart to start doing true public betas instead of releasing gold versions with serious problems. It would help their reputation quite a bit IMHO! As the saying goes, two steps back to make one giant leap forward. It is always that way, you just have to call it a proper name. The steps back are fine, if you aren't calling them the giant leap forward and NI seems to get this wrong every time. There is also a new Windows driver for the S4, 3.0.2, which doesn't automatically get installed with 2.5. The 2.5 performance totally sucks with the older 3.0.0 driver, so don't forget to install the new driver too, as I found it improves the performance considerably. There are just still some issues in other areas that need attention. I will continue testing.....as it is not a gold version and hope NI will release 2.5.1 very, very soon. scamo |
