Traktor 1.2 stops working!

Traktor 1.2 stops working!

Okay guys, i was wondering if anyone else is having issues with Traktor Scratch Pro 1.2.

The problem i have is it basically just stops during a set, no warning it just freezes the only cure is to restart the program.

Is anyone else having similar issues, or fixed this problem.

dean.

I’m having the same problem. Its not very frequent, but when I start to alter a lot of effects parameters with my vci (firmware 1.2), it freezes, and when I go to exit gives me the warning “are you sure you want to exit, decks are still playing” although the waveform is clearly stopped, and there is no sound.

I figured it might be a firmware issue with the vci.

a lot of people have had issues with 1.2. Myself included. i kept getting the 31 track bug. i reinstalled 1.1.2 and havent had any problems since. I will stick with it until they completely fix 1.2 - 4 fx banks isnt worth a crash at a gig.

What operating system are you running, and are you running 1.2, not 1.2.1?

I had this problem once. I upped my latency and my USB buffer and it never happened again. I’ve sat in front of it for 4 or 5 hours at a time now and it will still work.

Are all you guys on PC ?

The 31 track thing is still a total mystery to me. Ive no doubt that its happening but i cant see any reproducible cause ???

Can you guys post specs and Latency and Sample Rate settings.

I know there’s a thread on the NI forums for Technical Issues and the third post on it says “I upped my latency and it went away” and everyone else just ignored it.

Thats because its never user error or something that simple . It has to be evil NI fucking things up.

1.2 is shit i want my money back etc.

Yup. The simple truth is that in many (not all) cases people are getting to wound up about having the lowest latency settings possible when they simply arent viable.

Up your latency . Anything below 10ms is fine.

Yeah, it’s stupid. I have moved mine up to 13ms and it’s completely fine. And my cpu usage went down. It’s nice.

Oh but yeah, NI’s the devil

What are your USB buffer settings? And what operating system are u on?

I am not quite sure where this problem lies, i am guessing its a fault within traktor 1.2 as i never had this problem with the previous version.

As far as specs go, i am running win 7 64bit - 10ms latency on my external sound card and all mixing is done through an external mixer.

A friend i dj with is also having the same problem with a different setup.

Does anyone know if there are different build versions of 1.2 or of any updates that have been issued after its initial release.

Looks like i will be switching back to 1.1.2,

A hotfix is in the works mate but for the moment i’ve jumped back to 1.1.2. also

Add another one

Windows 7 x64 7600 Ultimate, 4GB DDR2, C2D 2.6Ghz, TSP1.2.1, min latency 2.5ms (tried 15ms), external mixer, no timecode

Exactly the same thing happened, the 2 W7 machines had to restart, but the MAC OSX10.6 didn´t.

This is not a Windows issue, it´s the windows port thats at fault. NOT driver related as the kit was different in all set-ups.

Runs perfect for a while, then at random, it just freezes, a quick restart and away again, but thats a lost gig !

If it was one PC at fault I´d say it was down to the rig, but a completely different set-up did exactly the same during the evening.

This is not a good way to get market share, quite the opposite.

USB Buffer settings - smoke and mirrors / clutching at straws - your choice of analogy

but this is NOT a USB issue, it also effects the Korg 04 firewire connections when using 1.2.1 … but it seems only on the Windows boxes (information gathered after reading the NI forum at length).

This is not a Windows update issue as some suggest, as I have seen that is has effected various XP32, Vista 32/64 & W7 32&64 machines. It´s not region specific, nor language specific, it´s just f***ed up.

For now I´ll be back using 1.1 and my crazy multi-device midi map (i do like the managability of the 1.2 device mapping). I´ll miss the beat slicer, but realistically, I have to finish a night without crashing, before adding sexy effects.

Yes, switched back to 1.1.2 today same set up as before, no errors, no glitches, just pure traktorism…

how can i check if i also have this 31 track bug? is it enough if i just load up one after another - 31, or do i have to play them for few seks?
i train only 1-2 h at home, but the upcoming party will be >4
dont wanna get surprised

I cant reproduce this on PC with XP.
I certainly dont have this on Mac as ive done about 30 7hour sets with 1.2.1

Unfortunately (or not) i dont have a Vista machine to test this on so im a bit in the dark.

I have flagged this up numerous times to NI Support. Cus its bugging the hell out of me reading all these posts. Its the most bizzare issue ive ever known (maybe)

Are all you guys sending your crash logs to NI. This will not get solved if you dont.

Karlos

mhhh i checked the tracks the last set, were 32
and i´ve done 33 now
on a xp machine with vestax vci 100 + audio control

seems that i dont have it, but hmmmm
i also paused my set and made some eggs with grilled tomatoes feat. onions
so everyboy who got the 31 track issue, try this…

I have this issue sometimes too…

My setup:
Dell vostro 1310 3g RAM
Windows XP SP3
Numark DJIO
Oxygen 8 v2 25 key - Ean’s mapping
Traktor 1.2.1 with the imported settings from ean’s mapping

Looks like version 1.2.2 has been released.
