Does anybody still use Traktor 3?

I dunno, maybe its one of those things in the same way that ‘purists’ stick to vinyl, but I much prefer Traktor 3 over Traktor Pro or Traktor Pro 2 - it doesn’t feel so much like an unnecessarily complicated Fisher Price toy. Horses for courses I guess.

So, am I the only one still clinging on to it?

Nevermind Traktor 3 there is a user called Steve Boyett that still uses Traktor 2.5 which is the version before T3 (i think hes still on T2).

Some people are still on T3. I dont see it as a purist thing though seeing as there were 2 versions before that. T2 and T1

Use what works for ya:slight_smile:

T1.

it took me quite a while to upgrade to Traktor 3 because I was gigging abroad and T2.5 was so stable in comparison (at the time). I finally upgrade to Pro less than 2 years ago.

I miss the ability to record sets and then edit them afterwards. Also, changing the mapping configuration files to some sort of proprietary encrypted file was a mistake… was nice being able to edit the mappings in notepad.

I used it for 3 years until I upgraded to TSD2 just last spring. It was stable for me and I know I didn’t even use it to it’s full potential. If it is still working for you, thats good. But I noticed (maybe you are too) that it was getting a lot harder to find answers to your questions regarding that version.

I used it for 8 years none of the other versions really appealed to me at the time. Plus the filters in t1 were stellar

Sorry, Karlos, I’ve been using Traktor Pro since not long after it was released. I haven’t upgraded to v2, but I haven’t used Traktor Studio 2.5 in a couple of years, I’m pretty sure. I had Traktor Studio 3 but rarely used it because it was a memory hog and way too buggy. I’m very happy with TPro.

Hey Steve, my memory must be remebering a convo we had longer ago than i can properly recall.

I must be confusing it with your thoughts on staying on T2.5 rather than using T3. I recall you saying that you were staying on T2.5 but that was probably a good few years ago.

Ive been doing this for too long, im getting confused in my old age:wink:

I have Traktor Pro 2, Serato DJ Intro, Traktor 3 LE, Virtual DJ 7 Pro and Virtuaj DJ Home 7. And I still use traktor 3.

I’m getting the idea software piracy is involved…

Yah, I’m pretty sure you’re remembering me being adamant about not upgrading to T3. I was pretty vocal on the NI forums about the ways NI would change functionality and introduce new bugs without fixing old ones. T3 was a great idea that never worked the way it should until it was re-engineered as TPro. I stayed with T2.5 until it seemed clear TPro was solid, and then I jumped & haven’t looked back.

So your memory’s actually pretty good, I think!

Only reason I haven’t upgraded from TPro 1.2.6 is because I’m still using a wonderful and rare but ancient BitStream 3x controller & I don’t think it will work well with the sample decks. Now that TPro 2.5 has been announced, I’m gonna do another wait & see and then probably upgrade to that once I feel good about a new controller. (The S4 is appealing, but I’m interested in the new Behringer modulars, a bit to my surprise.)

Sorry to derail the topic!
