The beat tick (metronome) is not firing on all four beats. The beats it drops seem random. It doesn't matter if I'm listening to the master or from the deck option. And yes, I've been listening to it from the master clock with no music playing, to make sure I'm not losing it in the music. Has anyone else noticed this yet?

I've gotten this at times,

Sometimes, the T3 delay I have loaded in my Fx2 slot will have no effect on a deck it is enabled on. I'm trying to find how to reproduce this. The assign+fx on switches are definitely on, no freeze, the wet/dry knob is up...
Maybe a glitch with my x1.

Not a bug, but definitely something that's bugging me - Karlos, maybe you can weigh in on this design decision:

The Master Out metering of TPro2 in external mode is like internal mode on TPro1. What does that mean? It means that all of the channels are (visually) summed to one stereo master meter - visually the result looks like you're trying to pump four channels through the one master, complete with full-on constant redlining - Even when you aren't because each channel is at a reasonable level AND is being individually routed to an external mixer.

You can test this, brickwalling the master on red with the limiter OFF, and hear the output clean as a whistle, distortionless. Remember, this is not redlining any one individual channel, but through the visual summation of many channels.

I use TPro in external mode. I keep each channel hot, but never clipping, and handle the mixing and master level outside of Traktor. This new metering essentially makes the master levels useless to external mode users. It might sound weird, but I'm not looking forward to playing with other djs, I'll be up there redlining the master like I'm some kind of dumb-ass, even though the sound will be flawless they will look at my screen and assume I'm some kind of clueless noob. :( I suppose I could bring everything down a few notches, but why should I have to? The holy grail of digital audio is "as loud as possible without clipping". I go for the best signal to noise ratio. Nice, hot, full of dynamic range. Worked well on TPro 1.

I hope this makes sense. I'm not saying there's anything wrong with the sound. I'm saying this is a visual/reference choice that makes us look bad when working with audio correctly, and essentially eliminates an important meter from our workspace.

The old way (TPro 1) used a peak-style meter when in external mode, so what you saw was the loudest peak of any ONE track. Much more useful for determining your actual peak db. The only way the current metering is useful is if you are mixing internally, or routing all your channels into a single stereo out. I want the old way back.
