MemberId say go with traktor 2 ive been a traktor user since traktor studio 3 and traktor pro 2 is amazing in comparison to any other software ive used.
You will have to analize all tracks when first loaded but they SHOULD save all this info after loading, then you are free to map as you please and im not too sure about the itunes problem I usually have all my tracks in a music folder then load into itunes for a quick playlist.

ParticipantI’ve got some questions about Traktor Pro 2. I’m using an internal sound card + usb sound card / all activated in ASIO4ALL 2.1 .
The sound card that is set to be the monitor (i’ve tried both), works great with no problems.
A Play = No sound / B Play = No sound
A Preview, A Play = A Sound / B Preview, B Play = B Sound
A Play, B Preview, B Play = B Sound / B Play, A Preview, A Play = A Sound
You get it.I don’t like how the master works. I don’t want to Crossfade to the deck A playing while i have B Preview, B Play. I want the software to know that when i have an A Preview or a B Preview exclude that sound from the master (which it doesn’t).
Examples, Crossfade always in the middle, no touch:
If you Play A and Play B it’s obvious the public will hear both.
And here is the example which makes me frustrated:
If you Play A, Press preview B Deck then Play B it’s exactly the same thing, public will hear both ! And i mean, WHY ? I pressed preview once already. Why it has to do like the example shown before ? Because it’s not the same thing ! I want the software to recognize that when a deck has PFL on (Preview, Headphones Cue) ONLY send it to the monitor sound card.Everything is right, Cue mix minimum, Cue level maximum. Audio interface set to ASIO4ALL and in the program both sound cards set to active. I’ve changed between them, same result, change software, same result.
Is it normal, all DJ’s are working with the crossfade to preview ? Cand I add the monitor cue button in the control management of Traktor to change it’s settings? I Don’t know how to set it.
Is the only solution moving the Crossfader to the deck already playing ?

MemberIm not to sure on your problem Adi but have heard a few people having issues whilst merging soundcards with traktor, it sound like it may be an issue to do with soundcard routing but is hard to pin point without seeing it, I know this might sound like a stupid answer but have you tried clicking he buttons that look like headphones on and off? I would recommend getting a different all in one soundcard, but hopefully someone thats used asio4all may lend some advice

ParticipantHave i tried to click the buttons that look like headphones on and off ? Of course, i just named them preview in my other post (PFL, monitor cue button).
Looks like the PFL button has no action whatsoever on the Master output. On the monitor output it works, master no; On the master it’s like that button doesn’t do nothing. Is this normal ?
I want to know, DO I have a problem? OR this is just like everyone is DJing and i’m just asking for a hack because i don’t want to be moving the crossfader just for a short cue.

ParticipantI don’t get any error or message. As i just told, i don’t like what the buttons does. I want to know how to change it’s mapping so that when a “headphone cue” button is ON, that deck must NOT play in the master (only in the monitor).
The above statement is not happening in my software, because: Play A (we have master, we don’t have monitor) , then press the headphones cue button on deck A (pre listening / PFL) and once it’s pressed we have monitor BUT we also have it on the master.
I want the headphones cue button to behave like this: Once it has been pressed for a deck, that deck will not give any sound to the master, only to monitor. I want the PFL to forbid master.

however i was wondering about traktor pro 2 as i hear there is a discount if you have the LE version, does pro 2 improve on this problem?
or can someone suggest a free program that will let me map a controller because virtual dj home won’t and i grew fond of that software.
The itunes integration is the same in traktor 2. It’s meant only to get songs into Traktor not to play them from iTunes even though you can. I have the preference set to import my music folders when I start Traktor so that whenever I need a song it’s analyzed and ready to go. Then I just play everything off the Traktor collection where all of the information is remembered. You can tell Traktor to import certain folders in preferences as well. I use itunes exclusively to take care of my music collection so I just have it do the iTunes folder. If you use folders or some other organization method you van set up what folders you want imported.
