**Traktor** Hi Folks, Couple of things really; I have a stardard MacBook entry level which I bought about 3/4 years ago and that used to be my sole means of DJing with Traktor Scratch Pro, with Audio Interface 8, and I never had any problems. I recently got a new mac book pro 13" and installed Traktor Scratch Pro and everything seemed fine, but on a number of occasions the software just closed automatically whilst I was working which did screw things up a bit. I’m not very technical when it comes to how things work because I;m the kind of person that just likes to use it when it does work, so I thought, was it because my version of Traktor was outdated (number 1) and that the Mac was the latest operating system, so would I need to get Traktor Scratch Pro 2 (which wouldn’t be a problem if I knew it would deff work), and if I got 2 would it work with Audio Interface 8. Has anyone experienced this problem before? Thanks Jack ---

What were you doing when it just shut down? Can you recreate the crash? I have to be honest, that’s never happened to me on my MBP. ---

It happens when I’m loading tracks, it just decides, don’t like this, crash. I can recreate it now, thats without even having the audio interface in so I know its a software fault, and it doesn’t happen with the same track either. Jack ---

I reckon you might be looking at a full reinstall, can anyone else recommend this? ---

Maybe look in your collection for tracks that have strange Chinese or Russian characters in them. Sometimes those will cause havoc in Traktor. ---

i had something similar quite a while ago with a track i got from soundcloud, it would re-analyse it every time i started traktor and take forever, then just freeze and die. found the file, deleted it and all was well
