A Poll to match Dan's Santa's Top Wishlist for Traktor Pro 2!

[scamo]

Hi,

I thought this would be interesting. What would you wish for as your top 3 or 4 main new additions to Traktor Pro 2?

The blog from Dan is here: http://www.djtechtools.com/2011/12/2...ktor-wishlist/

Please only pick 3 or 4, so the voting is meaningful.

whipping a dead horse asking to make the mapping window bigger

[Steve Zorilow]

I voted
1) Fix Mapping: Even though it's not really fixing it, but improve the way it works. At very very least a full screen window.

2) Bridge/ReWire: It's doable right now, but a native integration will be welcome.

extra wish... low priority but: ability to manage 2 or more soundcard at once...

My main wishes are not on this list. I want

(1.) configurable linefader curves (some controllers can do this in hardware but others such as the S4 can't)

(2.) much larger-sized main output level meter

(3.) smart playlists

(4.) ability to hide nodes such as itunes node from browser tree

(5.) out-of-the-box support for AAC on Windows without dependency on quicktime

(6.) the old view on large-resolution displays where you can see effects, master clock panel and mix recorder all side-by-side

(7.) traktor remembering the explorer view (i.e., the sorting)

(8.) playlist lock.

also, history is not broken for me. it works exactly as expected. TSP 2.1.2 on Win 7 x64 here.

Lock library option?

As in when it is on no changes can be done to the library, prevents accidental
Drag and drop or delete

Yeah i dont think theres a person alive that doesnt want this but, i have been reliably told that it simply isnt as easy as just making it bigger. It would require a total rework of how Traktor is mapped and i just dont think they have had the stomach for it yet. Yet.

I know someone will say "wah wah i do this job and i know that it can be done"... im just repeating what i was told in an off the record conversation (no NDA break or secret) its just not that simple apparently.

I dont know of any History bug/issue ?

You can do "Save Collection" periodically to prevent accidents just like "save" on another program like Word or Excel.

If you lock the collection.nml you cannot move any tracks within Traktor or play them.
I dont think there could be a lock that would work in the way you want dude.

There should be many more browser options though. Undo and undelete etc

me, neither. but the article this thread is referring to claims it is broken...

+1 bridge support...but I think NI will go for more of a Maschine/Traktor solution.

This is all speculation and I'm not sure if this is even possible but I imagine that Maschine would act as the host for Traktor, recording audio and any other midi automation and once recorded Maschine would allow you to go back and add your own drums, samples, synths whatever. Maschine could even integrate a grid system similar to Traktor so that everything would just easily fall into place.

Again this is all speculation but I feel like NI would do this for the sake of keeping things within an NI integrated system and not outsourcing to Ableton.

I don't get it. I used History just last nite to prove to my drunken self that i had played a track.
In fact i just fired up Traktor and stuck it on Cruise to see if History is working and i watched it filling up with tracks.

History is wiped when Traktor is shut down. It only shows the current session (im sure everyone knows that) so when you start Traktor again History wont show that tracks that were last played (again, i know this is basic info but..)
