Feling defeated - Traktor Setups Midi Fighter 3d, Twister and DDJ-SZ

I am feeling really defeated right now.

I have setup everything the way I have been told from Pioneer, here, Traktor. But I can’t seem to get the software and hardware to work properly.

First: I can’t get Traktor to work with my controller after I exit and restart.

  • I have updated the DDJ-SZ to the latest 1.20 firmware
  • I import the new TSI file from direct from Pioneer using the BIG import button. Set the settings and when I close the system seems to work fine.
    -After I shut down and restart Traktor it doesn’t accept MIDI from my controller anymore. I check the preferences and everything is setup the same way, but nothing. The only workaround for this is for me to Re-Import the TSI file using the BIG import button and then re-set all the settings as I had originally done. Then it will work again ONLY for that instance, but if I close and restart I have to Re-import everything again.

Second: I have a MIDI Fighter 3D and a MIDI Fighter Twister that I am trying to use WITH the DDJ-SZ. I can’t get either of them to work at alll.

  • After setting up the DDJ-SZ using the BIG import button, I then click the “Add” and drop down to “import” in the dropdown menu.
    -Locate the Twister TSI file
    -Set the Twister as IN/Out
    Then when I close it does NOTHING. And when I try to use the DDJ-SZ as the main controller it also does nothing.

What am I missing here? Can anyone help me? - I have spent the past 2 days trying to set all this gear up and have come out super frustrated without any of it working how it’s supposed to. I’m near the point of giving up… :rage:

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
