That Richie Hawtin video is garbage. The video on here is great. Can’t find it on Youtube though ??? [http://gizmodo.com/5985925/traktor-dj-for-ipad-is-better-than-turntables?post=57656607](http://gizmodo.com/5985925/traktor-dj-for-ipad-is-better-than-turntables?post=57656607) ---

I’m a bit worried about the sync and what it actually syncs, it needs to have a checkbox like in traktor pro, being able to lock certain tags down in traktor pro so they’re not over written etc. ---

Well after playing about with Traktor DJ for about 3 hours, I think I’ve found the replacement for my antiquated Pacemaker as my plane / stuck-in-a-field DJ’ing weapon of choice. It has a few niggles form a personal point of view (only basic hotcues, everything has to be quantised and for some reason my tracks don’t play from the first beat) but for a first release its damn near excellent. And IMO, £13.99 is a bargain. The only dilemma I have now is that as the new TSP update provide pretty colour coded keys for your tracks, and Traktor DJ syncs my track prep to my Mac, will I have to cheat on Rekordbox and do everything via NI? One last question for all the Traktor heads… What does TSP’s new keying system mean with its 12d’s and 2m’s etc? It’s probably something über basic but I can’t figure it out! I still key everything in sharps and flats! TL;DR, Buy it, buy it now. ---

> [@Karlos\_Santos](#): > > BUT: The music, Traktor Pro, iTunes, HAVE to be on the same machine. You can sync multiple iOS devices but only with a single computer. Oh damn. Was somewhat excited about this until reading this. My ipad syncs to my desktop itunes, which has a lot of music that I don’t use in traktor. I use traktor with my laptop exclusively, and I only store part of my music library there. I use the desktop and the ipad for lots of non-DJ-related work (and fun); all my contacts, documents, email, etc., hang out there, but I try to keep the laptop for mostly DJ stuff for various reasons. Would I have to change my workflow to make use of this app? ---

All iOS devices must be synchronized with the same iTunes Library running on the same computer as TRAKTOR PRO. iOS devices linked to other computers/libraries will not be able to sync properly with TRAKTOR PRO. You would need iTunes on your laptop and the tracks must be on the same laptop to transfer to the iPad. Only then will metadata sync work. ---

Do you guys see this becoming a way to control Decks c and d along with the S2? That would be the big appeal to me at the moment ---

I would have loved if they made an ipad into an external effects controller, with freeze, cues and everything. Leave the actual track finding stuff out, do multi-touch combo effects with filters, and freeze mode. Sure touch osc can do it, or lemur, but a traktor full intergration would be awesome. ---

The Freeze feature is great, love it. For those who want this kind of functionality in Traktro Pro natively (without being tied to playing the iPad app) and have shelled out for the Lemur app…I made a Lemur template/mapping which emulates exactly what the “Freeze” feature does and a whole lot more…it’s posted here: > **[DJ TechTools - BeatSlicer (ala DJM-2000nxs and Traktor DJ "Freeze") for...](https://maps.djtechtools.com/mappings/1120)** Hope someone finds it helpful, cheers! ---

Only then will metadata sync work. Yep; great for people who only use their computer and ipad for traktor. Believe me, I wish that were me too; most of the other stuff I use computers for isn’t nearly as fun 😉 But for folks like me it’s an unfortunate limitation, and I’ll probably just drool watching others play with it rather than purchase it myself. I suppose I could instead use this as a reason to grab an iPad mini, though that does bring the cost of entry up just a tad… ---

do we think this will work with the DJM900? tbh i cant see me gigging with this, but for parties and stuff it could be cool…might get an audio 2 if that will work ok. ---

The Audio 2 cannot work with Traktor DJ, it isnt class compliant and cannot be firmware updated. Shame. DJM900 ? that I dont know about. It would be down to Pioneer to release a firmware update i guess. ---

If this app gets timecode support then I’m in. Gonna hold until then. Other products out there that do a similar job at the minute. ---

Karlos, There’s something about the A6/A10 compatibility that I haven’t seen specifically mentioned. All of the marketing says you have pre-listen and cue functionality or you can use a splitter cable for dedicated control. Does this mean that you can’t send each deck to separate outputs to go into 2 channels of a DJ mixer? Thanks, ---

Theoretically yes but the master channel is way louder than the cue channel. I haven’t tried it though as my A6 is not here. I think full on external mode will come in later version. There is a lot of demand for it. [Previous page](https://forum.djtechtools.com/t/traktor-dj-ios-app/53652.md?page=2) [Next page](https://forum.djtechtools.com/t/traktor-dj-ios-app/53652.md?page=4)
