Traktor 2.5

I'm confused as to why sometimes NI does public betas and sometimes doesn't.

I know for some releases of Maschine they have.

So far I have used 2.5 for many many hours. No shut downs or freezes. Nothing major that I can see affecting a gig. But then again, I am only connected with an S4. The only two things that I noticed that was mentioned before was with the remix deck. You have to hit the sample button twice for the slot to play. Unless i have something set wrong in which I use to have the sample play at each touch of the button. The other is that I like to use the rating stars to mark my favorite songs / remixes to use. One time it wouldn't let me choose a rating. i restarted 2.5 and no issue since.

Are there any smiler experiences and has anyone use 2.5 successfully at gigs and parties?

Im tried setting my mixer on phono/line and changed the input on my audio 8 to phono/line/timecode. Also it reads my time codes on Side A with a 15min run time & SIDE B with a 10 min. Plus my calibration is going nuts. What Im getting is the timecodes jumping from 33/45 speed and i need to hit calibrate to get it back to 33 rpms

My issuers seem similar but yours seem to be a little worse. I have not checked the length of the time codes. I will do that tomorrow. I also don't ever need to switch from 33 to 45.

Honestly, since I'm not playing out, I refuse to trouble shoot problems with the software. It's not our job as consumers of a major release to beta test this crap. I will be moving forward with my switch to SSL. These issues and the "Ableton" path NI is taking with their only dj software have sealed the deal for me. This is the 4th (?) major version release and they still are going backwards in performance.

I've thought about switching to Itch (I'm not a time code user), but whenever I think about all the time I spent setting cue points and loops (never mind manually beat gridding), I just say forget it and and stick with Traktor.

Someone help me please... I recorded a 30min warmup set, and now i wanted to listen to it but... theres no sound in the file^^ I did it the same as before with traktor 2.1.3 where recording was no problem at all...

EDIT: Sorry for the post, after looking a bit through my preferences, i found out that i had mix record on external while mixing mode was on internal... -.- What a beginners fault :D

I also have random switching between absolute to relative when I pull the needle off the deck.

Also, when scratching, it will randomly skip ahead in the track without the needle jumping.

Good news is my MK1 vinyl still works.

Im having the same random acceleration issue with mk2 timecode, but I just yell out REMIX to cover that up lol.

But seriously that's annoying as hell. I didn't notice the other issues your experiencing though.

Why didn't I think of that?!

LOL!

Remix!

The F1 is AWESOME. Perfect integration, great buttons, BRIGHT AS FUCK. I am loving it

thanks guys for confirms the DVS issues. like Lotus prv stated, we are DJ's not beta testers. I guess ill be deleting 2.5 and freeing up +1.5 GB of space on my HD. I was really looking foward to trying out the remix decks on DVS with the soft sync on my 1200s.
