    Default Traktor

    Hi Folks,

    Couple of things really;

    I have a stardard MacBook entry level which I bought about 3/4 years ago and that used to be my sole means of DJing with Traktor Scratch Pro, with Audio Interface 8, and I never had any problems.

    I recently got a new mac book pro 13" and installed Traktor Scratch Pro and everything seemed fine, but on a number of occasions the software just closed automatically whilst I was working which did screw things up a bit.

    I'm not very technical when it comes to how things work because I;m the kind of person that just likes to use it when it does work, so I thought, was it because my version of Traktor was outdated (number 1) and that the Mac was the latest operating system, so would I need to get Traktor Scratch Pro 2 (which wouldn't be a problem if I knew it would deff work), and if I got 2 would it work with Audio Interface 8.

    Has anyone experienced this problem before?

    Thanks
    Jack

    What were you doing when it just shut down? Can you recreate the crash? I have to be honest, that's never happened to me on my MBP.

    It happens when I'm loading tracks, it just decides, don't like this, crash.
    I can recreate it now, thats without even having the audio interface in so I know its a software fault, and it doesn't happen with the same track either.

    I reckon you might be looking at a full reinstall, can anyone else recommend this?

    Maybe look in your collection for tracks that have strange Chinese or Russian characters in them. Sometimes those will cause havoc in Traktor.

    i had something similar quite a while ago with a track i got from soundcloud, it would re-analyse it every time i started traktor and take forever, then just freeze and die. found the file, deleted it and all was well
