I hope the people at Ni are smart enough to release this with support for Yosemite. If they didn't, major fail.

I am running Yosemite on my production computer, and it is handling the memory a lot better it seems.

Upgraded now, first problem right from the start; Traktor won't go in to fullscreen mode, or maximize window. Tried all different options under resolution, and restarted, but nothing. Wasn't a issue before I updated.

The warning for Yosemite still remains. Do not update. This has been in place for a week or so.

Remember beta testing for the RC for any version of Traktor is ongoing up till the day of release so Yosemite testing was not a priority as most users are still on 10.9

Thanks Karlos for the fast response ... I will give the update a try today (as I have not upgraded to Yosemite and am on Mountain Lion) :thumbup:

No worries. FWIW I have been gigging with this exact build of 2.7.0 and I have had no issues on Mavericks.

I guess this answers the 'Will we see Traktor Pro 3?' question

I've updated and can't replicate that problem. Windows 7 / Dell XPS 15.

Haven't updated yet... What's the iTunes integration? Artwork would make me cum in my pants ...

Not necessarily. I'd imagine NI is large enough to have a seperate team to do maintenance programming.

I figured it out. Wasn't NI problem, just Windows bugging abit due to external monitor plugged in. Disconnected it and opened Traktor, works fine now.

Excellent.

Any details on the itunes integration? That would be the only major factor for me upgrading if it was a big huge intergracion like showing key while in the itunes folder.

Is it that hard to read the article on the DJTT Blog?

This version is now compatible with both MK1 and MK2 timecode records for all TRAKTOR SCRATCH PRO owners.
SYNC automatically enabled for Remix Decks when launching TRAKTOR.
The full waveform to the left of the playhead in a Track Deck will now be rendered – eliminates blurry waveform when using HotCues or BeatJumps.
Beat Ticks enabled in any Decks are automatically turned off when quitting TRAKTOR – prevents accidentally-enabled Beat Ticks on Channel Outputs in External Mixer mode.
When browsing through the iTunes Node, you can now edit tracks which have been imported into the Track Collection.
When browsing through the iTunes Node, the full context (right-click) menu is now available for tracks which have been imported into the Track Collection.
When browsing through the iTunes Node, Cover Art is now shown for tracks which have been imported into the Track Collection.
When browsing through the iTunes Node, analyzed Key is now shown for tracks which have been imported into the Track Collection.
iTunes Playlists now show cumulative time and disk usage in the Status Bar.
TRAKTOR now automatically chooses the newest iTunes Library version if multiple versions (old and new) are found in the iTunes Folder.
Mix Recorder level is no longer dependent on the Main Out volume.
Undesirable filter sweep when enabling the Z Filter on a channel is now fixed.
Canceling the “Delete from Collection” dialog still deleted the tracks from the Collection – fixed.
TRAKTOR crashes when moving effects around in the Pre-Selected Effects list – fixed.
Fixed an issue with the ID3 “Year” tag when non-standard date formats where written by other programs.
When creating a new Playlist, the cursor is now automatically placed into the Playlist Name box.



PS This update brings new life to Denon S3700 users - it appears they now can use Hybrid (HID-like) mode on their players ;)

Anybody can get "Slice Size Adjust" command to work?

I jumped the gun a bit there. I closed and opened Traktor again after I got it working as it should, same problem even if I don't have external monitor connected.

I also have problem with audio cracking on channel 3 and 4 on my S4 MK1. This worked properly before I upgraded.

Haven't looked to close, but seems like key is in place.

O wow okay ! After all this time finally itunes intergraded!

Hmm. Windows 8 user here using dual displays. I'm updating now. I kept a back up of the previous version of Traktor, so I guess if I have this same problem, I can uninstall and then install the older version.

Read on NI-forums that at least two others with high resolution Win computers had the same problem after updating. Since I have my audio problems as well after update, I hope NI can come with a fix for this quickly so I can use it live, or else I have to go back to previous version. I submitted a support ticket for the screen problem.

:mad:

Dual 1080P monitors here, so more than likely I'm going to get this problem too. Update is installing now, but it sure is taking it's time.

A progress bar would be real nice here.

ok, got an issue here. When mult-core support enabled, all samples from a remix deck sound heavily distorted. With multi-core off, no issue whatsoever.

On Windows 8.1 btw.

Hey
When clicking on the xfader in internal mode mouse disappears and xfader doesnt move also messing with the on state and dim state for the x1 is all over the place. Dim state seems to be stuck at about 20-30%. OFf to check the NI forum for full list of bugs

I fired up 2.6.8 now, everything works as it should. 2.7.0 screen issues + audio issues from deck C+D.

Same here, though I tried them as track decks C and D. Haven't tried disabling multi-core, but I guess I have the same issues that you have. But I have the screen issues too, so I'm sticking to the backup of 2.6.8 until NI finds a fix, if the problem is with Traktor and not the computer that is.

Yep, definitely having problems with Win 8.1 and dual displays.

If I select full screen, it doesn't take up the whole screen, it just takes up a portion.

In fact, if I drag it to the 2nd display, and then set it to full screen, it just displays right in the middle of both screens.

I really should know by now not to be a first adopter of updates, and now my evening is ruined as I am going to have to work on resolving this issue.

I really don't consider it acceptable to release software like this.

EDIT: WORKAROUND FOUND

If you open the preferences pane, and then select full screen, it will go full screen mode.

You will have to repeat this step each time you want to go into full screen.

You can then close the preferences pane and then go about your business.

2nd EDIT:

I believe you have to move the preferences pane to the monitor you don't wish to use, move Traktor to the monitor you do wish to use, and then hit FULL SCREEN.

I do not know if enabling full screen at start up in the prefs will work.

Thanks for the workaround :) Are you experiencing audio trouble on deck C & D?

No crackling like you reported, but I'm using a Z1.

Also have multi-core support on and am not experiencing distortion/clipping on samples with the remix decks.

Youre being a bit melodramatic.

Restore 2.6.8 from backup and get on with your life until they fix it.

Should take you 5 minutes and should not ruin your evening.

I disagree. This is a pretty big issue for people.

And, no, it won't take 5 minutes to uninstall, reinstall, and then restore. Not for me at least.

However, by finding the workaround, I can deal with it. Other people on the NI forums have reported that changing resolutions within Traktor and then changing them back is also allowing them to go full screen as well.

So there's a solution at least, and my evening is not ruined.

I'd like to know as well.

Does anyone know if the MBP Retina + Kontrol s4 MK1 bug was fixed???


seen here: http://www.native-instruments.com/fo...freeze.212811/

Pretty serious problem. sincerely pisses me off literally once a day.

If it takes you longer than that, Id suggest you hold off updating in future until the kinks are worked out.

You always have to assume new updates will break everything, and be prepared for that eventuality with backups.

Traktor takes less than 5 minutes to restore to a working backup version if youre organised.

Make sure you have a copy of the 2.6.8 installer or download it from NI.

Backup your Traktor Root Dir, usually at C:\Users\Username\Documents\Native Instruments\Traktor 2.6.8.

This contains all your collection database files and playlists, but not your collection.

Backup your Traktor content dir, usually at C:\Users\Username\Music\Traktor

This contains your samples, loops and remix sets.

To restore Traktor to 2.6.8 you need to uninstall 2.7, reinstall 2.6.8, and then replace those two directories from backup and run traktor. Everything should be exactly as it was before.

I'll take your word for it, because I haven't done a restore for Traktor before, but every event in Windows 8 and 8.1 like this has been an absolute nightmare, so maybe I just expect a worst case scenario when that's not actually the case.

I do have 2.6.8 installer, and all my library and settings back ups, so I am prepared at least.

I am not, however, accustomed to new updates introducing a ton of problems like this, so you are right that in the future I am going to hold off.

Hopefully fixes will be quick, with their flagship controller right around the corner.

Thanks ImNoDJ Im rocking and rolling, now.Im all backed up lol.

THIS IS INCORRECT.

There is no need to uninstall anything.

Just navigate to your folder Applications folder: Native Instruments>Backup and hit the last icon/exe that worked for you. Your installation previous to 2.7.0 will start up and you are back to where you where before installing 2.7.0.
