Traktor 2 deck B&D freezing in front of 1500 people

[nicky Z]

Hey everyone. Traktor literally fucked me up in front of 1500 people yesterday.

At the beginning I've noticed that while playing Deck B was skipping like a scratched CD or something.

Later on it freezed. The Deck light was blinking and I couldn't move it or do anything with that deck. Not even load a new track. Same thing with Deck D.

So I then continue to play with Deck A and C (very annoying)

But guess what? After 4-5 tunes A&C also froze and I've seen my set being destroyed while I was totally embarrassed.

This is the second time I experienced this. The first time I tried calibrating the whole thing, which didn't work, but it did work when I re-installed the controller editor. (weird) This time this method didn't solve the problem.

Seriously I can't stand the risk of this again and I am traumatised by this experience.

Any thoughts?

How about listing your gear and software versions....

That will get you some replies.

Good point

I've got a Macbook pro running with Mac OS 10.8.3.

Sounds like it could be a jog wheel sensor malfunction. Removing and replacing the jog wheel plate can sometimes help, but if it happens again you should contact NI and get a replacement if possible.

Load button flashes when the jog wheel sensor is active, so your sensor must be faulty if it's triggering by itself.

I had the same problem a year ago. Turned off the Jog Wheel Push in Preferences - no problem since then.

I had the same issue with my S2 and a friend has had it with his S4, it's a sensor malfunction. If recalibrating didn't fix it I would agree, disable Jog Wheel Push In until you can get it fixed/replaced.
