So I finally got a chance to catch up on some live sets from the BPM Festival that just passed at the beginning of the year. I was excited to see there's a live video recording of Carl Cox's set @ Blue Parrot (01.12.15). As many of you may know, he's using the fairly new Traktor S8 controller. All is well deep into his set, but near the end... Traktor crashes
(fast forward to the 2hr45sec mark -- the big red spike in the audio waveform)

I'm a big fan of technology, and love Traktor - but I definitely wouldn't trust fairly new gear & software updates in live environments. Cox laughs it off though with a big smile, and eventually gets back on with it, mixing in a last track or two. I'm a huge Carl Cox fan, and always will be no matter what tools he uses to mix tunes.... as long as the music continues to play
