What Traktor features do you wish it had?

For me, I imagine it having a much more enhanced controller mapping editor, OSC support, and maybe support for “scripting”.

I think many a person would appreciate a more intuitive way to map their controller to Traktor. Imagine pressing a button on your controller to instantly slice up the song into X parts or change to another mapping, or writing a script to detect parts of a song and place cue points there dynamically.

Anyone else wish Traktor had something it didn’t?

Maschine integration in a 5th deck

3

Rewire (no more wobbly midi clock talk with live or fancy audio routing)

4

The ability to call out for a drink with the twist of a knob. Or maybe video. That would be cool.

5

being able to maximize a deck for gridding and cue point placement.

6

The option to customise the GUI to your exact requirements.

7

This.

Also, Grid markers that contain bpm information so the grid would shift automatically for tracks that change tempo.

8

IN-depth clip editing in a remix deck so I don’t have to go to Ableton to basic sample editing. This could obviously be remedied with maschine integration.

9

for me only 2 things I really want.

  1. a way to use external FX like RMX-1000 as a send return FX module
  2. have Mashine as an input as a deck
10

You can do both of those already.

11

Video plug-in

12

How ? I know I can root maschine externaly and use midiclock to sync more intrested in an internal way
How would I connect the RMX-1000 as a FX module in traktor?
A friend of mine is selling his so if I know how to connect it I’ll buy it in a heart beat

13

You can use virtual cable routing to put Maschine through Traktor, and use the same to route Traktor into a DAW and use the RMX 1000 as a VST.

Or you can get a mixer with send/return and use the RMX standalone hardware.

14

I knew that but wanted to use only traktor without a DAW or external mixer. maybe a way using an Audio 10 and connecting the RMX to master in/out for send/return. As is now I would need to connect it to my master out of my DDJ SX.
My dream would be adding an Audio 10 root all 4 chanels throug it into each channel of my DDJ SX use the mixer part on SX in standalone mode then have the RMX-1000 connected as a send/return inside traktor.

15

If you could script traktor, unlock all the features, have open support for Midi/HID and run VST’s I’d change from VDJ…

@gullum.. atomix said they couldn’t incorporate an effect send/return using a soundcard as there is latency in both receiving and sending the signal, that is probably why Native Instruments haven’t done it either. The stuff about NHL and not being able to rewire is just a marketing move to make you buy their gear. It is odd that maschine can’t sync natively to traktor though. They are easily capable of including anything they want in the software. I don’t know how their marketing department missed out on the obvious upgrade from djing to production that maschine offers.

16

I don’t want to repeat myself very often :wink:

Far as development goes, things I would like to see won’t be seeing until PRO 3… Hopefully!

17

What an absolute ball ache. Using an SX with Traktor in the first place, and having to route all that shit just complicates stuff so much. Just a Pioneer mixer and use send/return.

18

I use it with Traktor because it my software of choice (And it’s been no problem mapping it). I have it in a flightcase so the routing would only be done once. If I were to get a Pioneer mixer I would need something to controll the deck part of traktor and would not be as easy and fast to setup as my setup is now. Open flightcase conect power and line out boot up traktor load song press play everyone is dancing.

@synthet1c yes that sure makes sense with it being a latency problem.

19

I want to see a few things.

  1. For Traktor itself: Built-in support for Isolator FX. The new Deckadance has this…played with it a bit and it is very nice. Basically I want to be able to pick which band(s), lo/mid/hi, get sent to the FX unit. The ones that aren’t picked stay dry. You can create very cool buildups by sending just one or 2 of the bands to the FX unit and leaving the other one dry and slowly turn up the effect. I think Stewe did a mapping and video that was featured on the main page that achieves this by duplicating a playing deck and doing some EQ kills. I came up with a less sophisticated mapping for my needs, but would love to see this built-in as right now I have to jump through a number of hoops to actually make it work.

  2. For Traktor DJ for the iPad…for the love of God…add support to store the track names/playlist when you record a mix.

  3. Add Import From/Export To Rekordbox support

I would like to see Traktor have video plug in!
