Long Story short:
Midway during my set K2 stopped responding. I unplugged it from X-Link and Plugged it into Midi. Selected Midi Ports within Traktor Preferences to K2 and Traktor crashed immediately.
Upon relaunch, the DB4 would not show up at all. Re-Installed DB4 driver, plugged in K2 through USB. All well and started playing again.
25mins later, DB4 audio stopped. Disconnected USB and plugged it back in and all was well for another 30 mins and then DB4 crashed again and Traktor became unresponsive.
I asked the other guy to pass on his Kontrol S4, connected via USB and finished the gig.
Very embarrassing and troublesome.
I'm on Macbook late 2014 with USB 3 slots running Sierra, TP2.11.0, latest DB4 driver.
Gonna get an older Macbook pro and revert to older DB4 driver, Mountain Lion and TP2.6.8 and probably stick to that till i probably sell the DB4, even though i think its a fantastic mixer!
Any advice ? Dont have gig for a few weeks, will test this rig out thoroughly and see what happens.
Apparently using a USB2.0 hub helps.....
