    There are many known bugs with the current version of Traktor. Roll back to Traktor Version 2.03 for the least issues. I have a near new Macbook Pro but still get issues with anything past this (particularly when using DVS). When 2.5 comes out at the end of the month, it will hopefully have all the new feature without too many bugs. They have put a lot of time in to development so I am assuming this is the case.

    hey, thanks for this, I’ll give 2.03 a try! I’ll also keep an eye out for the new update, hopefully in the near future (fingers crossed, today) I’ll have it working to an acceptable standard. I was also thinking of adding a plastic/rubber ring to fit over the play buttons on the ergo. I think this will help the problem I sometimes have when doing heavy crossfading and accidentally hitting stop on a track whilst in a cross fading frenzy. Then, the only other thing I’m hoping is possible is to have a key on the keyboard or preferably an alternative button to skip – & + on the pitch as you might know, it gets terribly frustrating at times getting the pitch to sync correctly during a mix (the sync button isn’t trusty unless you haven’t faded!) Cheers for the heads up on this one, it’ll be great to get going properly with this thing 🙂

    It turns out my DDJ Ergo was faulty since I bought it and it’s been sent back to Pioneer! I had no idea, it was a demo model and now I’ve wasted all this time getting it set up. Both Pioneer and the online shop confirmed that if a parameter, eg, the gain is moved and nothing changes in the software till you move it drastically to get a response, it is in fact faulty. I’m considering whether that was their quick way of passing the puck and not having to go into technical detail with me, & whether it will return as no fault found, but I’ll just have to wait and see. Apparantley, they say it must be faulty if I’ve struggled for 2 months with no luck. What a pain though, I have gigs booked, 2000quid spent on the set up and no time to practice after it’s returned, bugger! Oh well, I’ll be the old Daddy again with vinyl at the festivals this year. Oh yeah, I tried rolling back to the previos version and couldn’t find any option, or instruction on how to, but found out it was faulty before I had rolled back, thanks for your suggestion though. Could you let me know if you have any luck with the later version of Traktor? Cheers

    Good luck with the new/repaired model. I don’t think it’s Traktor that’ll turn out to be your issue TBH.

    Hey thanks, I hope I have some luck with it when it returns (hopefully replaced). Suppose it’s a lesson, everybody is trying to make money and ripping people off is becoming more popular so by selling me the x demo model which could have been known to be faulty, works to their advantage. Next time I’ll pay the extra few quid and buy from a shop, although I’d have only known it was faulty beyond 28days of the receipt. All good tho, thanks for your feedback Phil 🙂
