I got to say how much I love traktor!! I have been using it since 2002, and it is my best friend. Do not close down do not give up, just keep innovating and being the go to dj software for serious djs around the planet, much love and respect.

[@fettiwise4510]

this is the most convenient and clear tutorial in youtube history

Wow. Dj'ing has come a long way since I did it. This is most impressive. Fantastic job!

[@kanedNunable]

it has man. i now do 4 decks. 17 fx to use, sample banks etc. loop manipulation. its mad compared to when i first started in the early 90s on vinyl.

My version of Traktor started under the "Essential" layout. To see all of the buttons she's talking about, you must go to View->Layouts->Mixer (on Windows).

[@rodrigoms75]

In 2024 it is still strong as a Traktor and I’m still using one of the best mixers ever: Kontrol Z2

[@lordha-ha4242]

What point is beat matching manual on a digital system. I mean you can see the tempo on both decks. With analog gear okay, but on a digital system?

How can you improve something that is already perfect? But I'm gonna upgrade anyway :D

not sure why but is not working? when I try to play my music from iTunes is not reading the tracks and shows that is m4p? how do I fix it ???

[@TRYBEmusic]

From a day to another, I don't know what happened, with my s4 mk3 and sync on, It resets to the original tempo of the second track, instead of going down or up slowly... what :O is that a 3.6 bug or my deck went crazy? + when I switch line in for activating the 4th live input to use the mic… And I take up the volume, it does a horrible buzzing white noise over the speakers and headphones, even with no cables or microphone in... so it must be something inside the decks that's not working properly... Do you send replacements? Help a new DJ :'D

Thank you! What controller do you recommend with traktor. I want 4 deck option with a sound card &mic plug in.

[@kanedNunable]

you can get the s3 really cheap now and its great for 4 decks. then get some cheap midi controllers for the extra effects rack and buy a 2nd hand F1 cheap and you have loads to play with.

[@twocent02]

so i got a pioneer djm 250mk1,reloop rp4000mk2,gemini pt2000, audio8 dj and a windows 10 leptop but when i try to mix with it traktor pro3 there is no sound if i switch it to the leptop soundcard i get sound but can't mix dose anyone know how to fix that ?

[@AVCM]

I love traktor, but really : some windows look awful (ie when you load a .tsi), the midi learn is still a long list of commands, menus and so on : is it so complicated to make a midi learn mode directly in the interface like in Logic Pro (you choose midi learn, click on the software button then on the button on your hardware and boom! Done). The grid : not everybody mixes 2019 EDM with beats perfectly aligned. Wouldn’t it be possible to be able to correct the grid without being obliged to add multiple grids on the same track?

[@dimpo87]

Totally agree with you. Mapping in traktor is so difficult Especially when you use modifers..

[@AVCM]

dim Po I went to traktor bible website to download a .tsi that I modified to suit my needs. But I understand NI : why making it easy to use other controllers when you sell your own… 🤷‍♂️

[@artisans8521]

​@dimpo87 Yes, a degree in logic is needed. Now I must say all German kids are thought "Mengenlehre" so they should be masters in logical reasoning. And I'm Dutch.

[@inlovewithchili2378]

Smartplaylist support?

[@CristianSirb]

I installed it, and I don't get to obtain this layot, with 2 decks, it is not selectable in the menu! It look like a cheap Traktor variant. Although, I've downloaded it after paying, no installing wizard showed up.

[@davidrowan3853]

ANYONE know if the key option, which shows the key the song is in, 12A 12B etc, do the colours tie in with traktors version of the the camelot wheel colours? Higher energy being red, 9range etc, then low being the lighter colours, light blue, green etc??

[@draganalexic3144]

I notice problem with WAVEFORM speed if you use 2 tracks with different bpm for exemple 124 and 96 and u want to do transition without SYNC, while 124 bpm TRACK is playing and is in the end of break and first kick is 8 bars far from center I use first kick of 96 BPM track and stick it on the FIRST BEAT after break of 124 BPM playing song that is 8 bars away and that two perfectly LINED UP kicks do not manage to go to the CENTER (REAL TIME PLAYING) at the same time. On VIRTUAL DJ and REKORDBOX if you lined up 2 kick in the distance before they go to the center they keep to be in line all the way, but in TRAKTOR they DON'T. Do you gonna solve this?

[@Strfanopita]

Hi. On my Traktor Pro 3 I can't see for some reason the "IN" "OUT" buttons near "ACTIVE" in order to set the loop points, and when I click on "ACTIVE" it always loops from the beginning of the song, could you pleas let me know how to get those to appear? Thanks

Just paid for the upgrade to Traktor Pro 3 and can no longer record my mixes. None of the existing settings have changed (input, output, mix recorder), it just WILL NOT record! Absolutely infuriating. Never mind using KONTROL hardware (I still use a mixer and decks) but every time I upgrade Traktor I have problems like this. I would never fork out for the hardware for fear that I could never get it working without this kind of rigmarole.
