I’ve been really looking forward to using the new Traktor Pro on my 2008 Macbook Pro (bought in large part for this very purpose)…

Bummer, since what I got is a system way less stable than my old Sony Vaio with Traktor 3.3 on Win XP – there are lags, glitches, audible distortions when using key correction, the SYNC does not work well at all! In 3.3 you could generally just hit Play and 9 out of 10 songs would play more or less in time, needing only minor correction. Traktor Pro almost NEVER starts them in time – the BPMs might be synchronized but for some reason it does not wait for the downbeat to start, unlike 3.3. (That with me playing mostly easy to count 4/4 tracks)

It froze twice already which did not happen before

Design-wise it looks cool and all but I LIKED old Traktor’s custamizable panels – I thought that was one of the better features – it took 10 min to set them up but then you had exactly what you wanted to see in front of your eyes, switchable to all the secondary panels with just one press of the key – and different layouts could be mapped to numeric keys which made for quick switching between the modes. This is all gone in Pro.

I hope that at least the basic functionality of the program will be fixed by updates. Strange: I was expecting a more polished and stable version of the same soft that was already pretty good – instead got something that is very new and shiny on the surface yet doesn’t work as well. Made me feel like I bought into all the fancy NI ads.

To be fair I should spend a few more days with it and try it out in conjunction with vinyl/Audio8DJ which is my preffered mode (and the sync issues do not matter in it)

Looks like I’m reverting to 3.4 for now and thinking of alternatives.

I liked the way previous Traktor’s interface was more customizable. I liked the ability to have my screen look like a jet overhead panel. I liked the ability to see and change all, or at least most, aspects of my mix.
Sorry guys, the new Traktor Pro is just too different, too dumbed down. It caters to a different kind of DJ, someone smashing buttons and using lots of samples and loops wildly, as opposed to thoughful tweaking of numerous parameters.
I’m not upgrading yet.

I'm new to the computer DJ thing – I'm afraid I'm still using CD's. Been DJing for 15 years but only do dances, country & ballroom, and weddings, and parties (no clubs). Won't be using all the scratching and mixing. I'm more interested in the fundamentals…about the play lists, the number of description columns…I'm assuming it has a fader and will automatically fade into the next song…sorry, but I need basic help to make my decision…..thx, jamie
