Got a bit of a gig (mates birthday in private club function) in 48hrs.
Selectively went through a whole bunch of tracks and dragged them into traktor so i could sort them tomorrow night.
decided hey... i havn't backed up my traktor folder recently so i probably should do that.
I close traktor, copy the traktor 3 folder from my documents to my server then open traktor again to find the following bug: http://www.native-instruments.com/fo...d.php?p=400306
At this point i cursed NI's name, almost broke the headphones i was previewing on and had brief thoughts about throwing the laptop out the door down the stairs. Then i found that thread and had an idea....
luckily about three weeks ago i bought a $65 laptop hard drive and imaged my whole drive to it which included the settings file that was pretty much 100% perfect. Since this was the only thing stuffed i swapped out the drive in the laptop and copied the good settings folder to a usb stick.
Then swapped the drives back and restored the settings file to the original drive.
Traktor ran fine again.
Moral of the story - Backup, because software can be downright shit without warning!
The reason i bought that drive in the first place was because for the sake of $65 if i have that plus a small screwdriver at the event and my hard drive decides to die - i'm prepared
