    Default is 2.6.8 still the most stable traktor version?

    hi all, i'm formatting my pc so starting to re-install all the programs.
    i've been using 2.6.8 for years now, and whenever i tried a newer version, i shortly reverted back.
    but what about these latest 2.11 versions (which i haven't tried)?
    are they stable?
    have they fixed the bugs introduced in 2.9 or 2.10 ( i think), for example not always sorting by bpm properly when clicking on the bpm column in the playlist section?
    i don't REALLY need any newer features than 2.6.8, but since 2.10.2 they claimed to have improved the key detection algorithm (with some users agreeing on that).
    also i would really like to try out the ableton Link feature.
    so if anyone can verify that 2.11.1 or 2.11.2 are stable and bugfree (on windows) i will happily make the leap.
    thanks!

    Why don't you try out 2.11.2 and see how it stacks up?

    Whenever I format my machines or get a new one I will install 2.6.8, then whichever version I’m currently using ... so 2.11.2 at the moment.

    2.6.8 is still an extremely solid release, and uses way less CPU due to it not having stems and needing to support the D2/S5/S8 with its external screens. Its always good to have a fall-back version should anything happen in a current release.

    Gig Gear - TSP 2.6.8 & 2.11.2, Kontrol X1mk2 (x2), D2 (x2), S5, Xone:92, Xone:PX5, CDJ-2000 (x2), DDJ-XP1 ... Rekordbox DJ 5 with a few packs ...
    Plenty of studio gear and not enough time ... and a few Nexo PA systems

    If you have an MF3D and want to use its Remix Deck mode, then 2.10.1 is the latest stable version. Otherwise, I'd say listen to other people's comments lol

    Doesn't the latest beta have some Remix Deck fixes?
