I just wanted to give a quick update about Traktor 2.6 for anyone that was having similar issues with Traktor 2.5.
As promised, I did the update around Christmas and was able to do a small gig with family and friends that Saturday. Since upgrading, I found that NietzSKY’s and Kent’s experiences were spot on. Traktor 2.6 is now almost perfect (*knocking on wood*) with its beatgrid detection and clicking “Auto” helps those times Traktor 2.6 may be off some. It looks like Traktor 2.6 is going to spoil me rotten now where Traktor 2.5 forced me to either manually fix the beat grids on the fly or forced me to beatmatch…LOL.
