So, last night I was doing something creative, when the f'ing waveform dissapearing act with purchased AAC's in Traktor Pro happened. Mind you, this has been going on for over 6 months and still no fix to something that is not just annoying, but destroying performances. Here's the delema.
I like how you can browse tracks, view artwork, and search all in a nice gui, unlike with ableton. But, ableton has been rock solid, and they seem to be committed on a higher level than native instruments to hammering out bugs, especially those that would cause dead silence in a performance. Only thing I don't like about ableton is that you have to warp before hand and can't simply load 4 decks at almost complete random with a .mp3 or .aac. To my knowledge, if I wanted to grab a track from my phone, upload it to my computer, and use it in a set that's in progress, it's not going to be nearly as simple in Ableton as it would be in Traktor Pro, cause I can run traktor unsynced just like a CDJ without grids or anything.
So i guess my main questions would be, how do ableton DJ's prevent loading 2,000 or more clips for there entire playable library into a set?
Is it possible to use RE2 or iTunes or some other music organization software to drop tracks into Ableton, but when dropped it will come up with the tracks you already warped, or even better, the project that you already split into multiple clips?
All i've been using ableton for is for FX, and haven't delved into the possibilities, but Traktor is really pissing me off as of late and I'm looking for solutions.
