    Default Which feature needs to be added to (your) DJ software

    Hey guys,
    i am working on a VJ program at the moment,
    and all the time i am complaining about traktor because it is not possible,
    to get any data from traktor.
    There are so many crazy ideas in my head right now, ahh, and i just can't do it.

    My feature request to NI is, make it possible to develop plug-ins for traktor which could get information from traktor and execute commands.

    Syncing my VJ Application via MIDI-Clock with Traktor is nice, and works super well. But, sadly, thats is all i can get.
    Imagine i could read out which tracks are on the decks, and add some Special Cue Points, that tell when they are being hit by the playhead.

    Then i could map those points in my application, and let the software show a specific image/video for that cue point.

    Plug-ins would open up millions of possibilities.

    Just like VSTs would do ...

    Maybe next time

    What are you craving for?

    an event automation edit/draw feature similar to DAW softwares.

    a function to export each channel of a recording to seperate audio files.

    For me, it's mostly the little things about TPro that niggle me - things that Traktor 3 had that TPro does not:

    • What happened to the browser back button?
    • Where's the round tempo button?
    • Why can I no longer easily switch between snap and vinyl mouse modes?
    • Why is there no instant reverse feature?
    • Why can I no longer change the colours of the waveform? The current colours don't have anywhere near enough contrast.
    • NI really need to re-implement an improved NMX recorder, with ability to edit individual events post recording.


    But I would say that the biggest feature I'd like to see in TPro is a dedicated sampler/loop player. I'd gladly sacrifice a deck if it meant I can have a bank of 6 or so 1 shots and loops loaded and ready to go, with the ability to save banks to the track collection for easy recall. If that were to happen I could finally leave my KP3 at home when I go to gigs

    Yeah, how the hell is it that an (at least chronologically) mature piece of audio software doesn't support the de facto standard for plugins?

    I don't think Traktor is ever going to be, or be able to accept, VSTs. I think it's a very similar situation to Reason. I'd be happy with a pretty solid OSC/MIDI sync option, or something else, maybe Rewire. But VST support, I think, will add too much complication to the mix and cause a lot more problems.

    Built in key detection would be awesome, though.
    It's the FAQ. Read it.

    i just want them to fix a couple of fucking bugs, then i'll pay for pro.
    P.S. i'm on the verge of borrowing a mates mac and setting up my shit just to see if the bugs i hate are windows specific, if they are, i buy a mac. crazy eh!

    bugs are:
    laying down a beatgrid while audio is still caching = broken deck
    drag and drop from explorer = broken
