MemberWell, got a chance to have a play with it last night and…… I can’t stand it! I ended up switching back to the old version. It felt clunky, the pitch didn’t seem to work right (and there’s no pitch fader display) – I fail to see any advantages whatsoever.
Disappointed. :confused:

MemberWoah, what? I don’t have any of those problems. Was it the actual software, or is it just a clunky mapping? I’m using the S4 with TP2, not the DDJT1, and it feels pretty good to me. There is definitely a pitch fader display, though I think there might be an option to disable it in the settings. You can turn most interface elements on and off in TP2. There are heaps of advantages too. Sample decks and the loop recorder are definitely the best advantages.
Just get the TP2 upgrade if it’s free, you have nothing to lose. It installs alongside (separate from) TP1, so you can have them both installed and and use them both as separate programs at any time. Switch from one to the other in between sets, if you want to. TP2 is completely separate.

KeymasterWe are about to review the DDJT1 with the new software, so watch out for that!

I think Jem’s referring to the LE edition, not T2P.

Yeah, it’s not quite LE but not Pro either, but what I’ve seen has not convinced me to upgrade to Pro…

MemberTry downloading the Pro version and see for yourself. It’ll run in demo mode without a serial for 30 minutes. The LE and bundled versions are quite limited in customisability compared to the pro version.

MemberJust found this on the Pioneer forums, looks like I’m not the only one unimpressed with the ‘upgrade’ …..

Read that thread and you’ll see the solution to the problem it raises.

MemberOh yeah – thanks Phil, that response wasn’t there earlier – I’ll have a play.
Don’t know about you but I have a really bad habit of not reading instruction manuals…… 😳

Yup, me too!

MemberHmm, thought I’d revive this thread a few weeks on.
There is definitely a lot of stuff missing from the Pioneer Edition of Traktor Pro, including the pitch faders, which makes it clunky to use.
I’m really dissapointed with the update and I’ve gone back to using Traktor 1 – it deosn’t look as pretty but it feels more stable and does what I need.
Are there no other DDJ-T1 users on here??

ParticipantI don’t use the DDJ-T1, but I’ve turned my pitch faders off to give me more room for the wave form. I can see the +/- % in the deck header so that’s what I use.

KeymasterGonna be reviewing it shortly for the blog so we’ll see then!
