Traktor Pro 2 has been a frustrating experience. Every time I update it to a new version it screwed up. Before when I upgraded I opted to transfer my collection from a previous version and the settings. Every time I did this when I tried to launch Traktor it took hours to open.
So fast forward to today. I saw there is an emergency update to Traktor 2.6.7 so I downloaded it from the service center. When I opened Traktor I selected not to move my collection & settings because I was afraid if I did that Traktor would glitch out again. Well at least opened this time with no delay. Now it crashed when I add my music collection. When I was in the tree node I right clicked on track collection and I selected import music folders. Now it crashes and reports a log, I'm going to send it to Traktor. Hopefully this time they have a resolution, my last issue they never gave me a solution to the problem.
For how many people that make fun of Virtual DJ it is light years ahead of Traktor with stability issues. All my BPM's analyze and it doesn't matter if the mp3 was once on the C drive then went to an external back on a C drive. It pulls up larger music folders at a much faster rate.
I like Traktor because of the effects and remix decks but it is such a pain in the ass. I'm a mobile DJ and I love the creativity of Traktor but the cruise "auto dj" sucks. For wedding receptions I put together the cocktail hour and dinner music on autoplay. It is weird because depending on what player the music is on if you turn off autoplay sometimes the music stops. I know the work around but it's still frustrating.
