Honestly, your videos are the best. I had to stop watching this 15 minutes in to let you know how much I appreciate what you do. You explain things clearly and and interesting ways. Thanks!
THE BEST DIGITAL MIXER EVER MADE 🙌 Thanks to all Native Instruments Team from this brilliant Mixer ❤🔥 D.A.V.E thank you very much for the stems and isolator chapter you teaching me how to do rmx most easely than to do a production from scrats.🤩
Thank you, Dave for, this presentation. I watched the entire video. I don't have it yet. But I will have this version sometime this week. I truly appreciate your time on this software giving us an overview of it.
❤ I was already dreaming about this Video. D.A.V.E. on Traktor 4 Pro. Your older videos on Traktor are the best! 🥰 Just looked to find your old Traktor F1 Stems Video and now I see you uploaded this new Video on Traktor Pro 4 I was dreaming about you would possibly make but not sure it would even materialize. And here it is 🕺😁
I watched your S4Mk3 video from a few years back! Glad you're still here! I appreciate your tone, sense of humour and general vibe. I was completely new to Traktor at the time (switched from Serato because the S4Mk3 is such a durable, affordable controller with great workflow) and your video brought me up to speed very quickly! This video is just as great! I haven't been very excited about Stems until you showed what can be done here!!! It's a shame that flexible beatgridding is such a slog, but that's not your fault 😉
That’s so kind. The flexible beat gridding will always be a bit of a chore tbh. I’m so used to doing it for years on Ableton I get a bit numb, but it is worth it :-). Shout if you need any help.
@@DAVEDigitalandVinylExpert so I bought myself a DJ tech hybrid 101 system and it says tractor pro on the box so will this software work with it or does it have to be a certain type of software with tractor pro DJ software?
Hi. I’ve not used them before but they look like midi controllers. If that is the case, then they should work with Traktor, assuming you have the right mapping for them. Feel free to email on digitalandvinylexpert@hotmail.com if you get stuck.
Excellent, in-depth video about the great new features, thanks! Only thing is, you mentioned that it is possible to select all and generate stems; bulk generate isn't possible yet, it does have to be done on each track individually
Traktor Pro 3 and now 4 have many problems and things I would like to see changed or added functionality. Problems: 1. When you set C&D as remix decks and add drops(one shot) Auto setting doesn't work to mark one as the master automatically. Then manually setting it to Master only works if you don't scratch with the Master deck. Constantly while loading different tracks, you must keep setting which deck is master. This is a pain because sometimes you forget. 2. When you set up your decks the way you like, effects, setting up the decks, as either track, remix, or stems deck; upon closing the out of Trakor looks like it saves your setup, When you open that assumption is entirely false. You have to each time set up the interface this is also a pain. 3. Also while you have four decks set up A&B track decks, C&D remix decks, and go into settings and select only two deck layouts (A&B) use sync the tempo sliders will not work once you disable sync. 4. Traktor Pro 4 "KILLED" the initial beat grid white marker if you reset the grid 5. Accessing a network drive in Traktor Pro 4 does work it gets stuck at saying (Loading Sub Directories) This was addressed TP3 with external hard drives and Network drives. 6. Setting the effects to Pattern Player and I'm using the S3 controller, the Pattern Player sounds like a metronome
Hey Dave, thanks for the great video! Just one question - you said in the video that there is a way to generate stems for multiple tracks at the same time, but it didn't work for me, only one track at a time can be selected for stem generation...
Top stuff D.A.V.E thanks for the video. Would like to see how F1 generally integrates with TP4. Interested in possibilities of mapping pattern player to the F1 grid whilst running it on a solo channel (similar to sequencer). Is that possible? Also like to definitively know how F1 works with Stems before I update (send fx in particular). Appreciate all your efforts
Got to the Stems part now. Aren't the four little Bullits showing whether a Stem on that Deck is muted or not new to Traktor 4 Pro? I know Traktor 3 Pro had it for Filter on/off (blue bullits) and FX Send on/off (orange bullits) but I don't remember any white bullits for mute/unmute, just the knob icon and how much a stem was faded.
Thanks Dave, really helpful and detailed video. Quick question on the stems and x1mk3. NI don't appear to have any default mapping and haven't been able to find a template for stems. Are we meant to buy the F1 or is it easy enough to map the stem controls over manually? Many thanks
Your videos are brilliant! Do you know if there are any Traktor videos specific to scrolling loading tracks quickly? I'm using pro 3 with timecode vinyl 😊
@@DAVEDigitalandVinylExpert Internal of the vinyl is a tree scroll, does that mean I can navigate with the vinyl? 🙂 I've got x2 timecode vinyl,.DJM 250 mk2 mixer and a laptop (no controller as such). Thanks!
excellent review cant wait to only updated to 4 today cant wait use it the drum feature is it possiblw to load in your owe drum kits like a linn drum pack
loved your videos on the F1 been using traktor for 20 years, but TP4, not there yet. are you having major issues with the remix decks? I am, they def. need an update to fix
Great video! One question regarding installation please: Do you have to uninstall Pro 3 first or will it replace Pro 3 or do you have both in parallel then? And then import everything from 3 to 4? Thanks in advance
Hi Dave, my CPU is going crazy when i generate Stems, and it's not possible to do it while i'm playing a track... ( My pc is quite solid i use it for production as well and never had any CPU issues) Any tips to sort it out ? Thank you !
Hey. What RAM do you have? Also, do you have the multicore support ticked? What latency do you have it on? Do you have anything else running in the background? Thanks
Hey DAVE! Thanks a lot for the vid. Is it possible by chance to recieve your file for Traktor Kontrol S2 Mk3 Midi Mapping? Can't find you e-mail or web to contact.
Since upgrading to Traktor Pro 4 (TP4), Deck A and D show as Live Input upon opening. This software, like the previous one, is very buggy. When you close Traktor Pro of any version you are presented with a process that supposedly saves your configuration. To a degree, it saves a configuration and places it in some file but you are led to believe that the next time you open Traktor it will open with your latest configuration and or settings. This is far from the truth and each time you open TP4 you have to manually configure everything. This is now how "GOOD" software should respond especially paid software. I have sent to support more than once with their reply to delete the current configuration file go into the backup folder and grab that file to replace the deleted one. That's not a fix it's a temporary band-aid that gets rips off eventually and you are back to square one. If I have to do this manually I'm sure GOOD developers should be capable of automating this task to fix the software. What's the point of saving the configuration upon closing when opening TP4 or any version of Traktor Pro requires you to manually configure your settings each time…This is just Dumb!
I watched it to the end. Dave, it's great that you're dealing with any topic persistently and to the end! Thank you so much!
The Traktor legend returns! 🙌
Honestly, your videos are the best. I had to stop watching this 15 minutes in to let you know how much I appreciate what you do. You explain things clearly and and interesting ways. Thanks!
This means a lot and I am so pleased my video has helped and entertained you 🙏
Thank you Dave!! By far the most thorough and clearest walkthrough on the tinter'web ✌

Glad you like it!
Yes on the controller video! Love to see how to get the lights to communicate between pattern player and Traktor.
Thank you, Dave for, this presentation. I watched the entire video. I don't have it yet. But I will have this version sometime this week. I truly appreciate your time on this software giving us an overview of it.
If TP4 means we will get more videos from this great channel,I'm delighted

really good , and deep info

Your videos are brilliant!
Do you know if there are any Traktor videos specific to scrolling loading tracks quickly? I'm using pro 3 with timecode vinyl 😊
Thank you. Are you using just timecode? The internal of the vinyl is a tree scroll or shift and scroll for other controllers.
@@DAVEDigitalandVinylExpert Internal of the vinyl is a tree scroll, does that mean I can navigate with the vinyl? 🙂
I've got x2 timecode vinyl,.DJM 250 mk2 mixer and a laptop (no controller as such). Thanks!
Yes you can use the internal part of the timecode to scroll the tree. If you get stuck, just email me at digitalandvinylexpert@hotmail.com
thanx, this is a proper review!
Glad it was helpful!
Hello native instruments
I want to know how the TraktorZ2 Mixer mapping works for the new Traktor Pro4 software.
excellent review cant wait to only updated to 4 today cant wait use it the drum feature is it possiblw to load in your owe drum kits like a linn drum pack
Thanks. Not in the pattern player but you can in the remix decks if you want.
Brilliant as always Dave :) any idea if the F! X! or Z1 work with Traktor Pro 4 ?
Thanks!
Wow thank you! This is the FIRST ever super thanks I’ve got in all the years of being on here and it means a lot! 🥹
Can you work the stems on the F-1 if so are they any midi mapping required
Bro, your first slide with the words says "First Look - GUI & Preferneces". I think you meant "preferences".
My bad. Thanks for pointing it out.
@@DAVEDigitalandVinylExpert welcome, brotha
loved your videos on the F1
been using traktor for 20 years, but TP4, not there yet.
are you having major issues with the remix decks?
I am, they def. need an update to fix
Does the S4mk3 hardware unlock TP4? Or do you need to pay for the upgrade?
can u please tell me is m3 macbook air powerful enough for the new traktor pro 4 ? 🙏🙏🙏
What RAM do you have?
@@DAVEDigitalandVinylExpert 16 🙏
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
are they releasing a matching 4 channel controller for this? WHY whould we buy their 4 years old latest one for this?
Great video! One question regarding installation please: Do you have to uninstall Pro 3 first or will it replace Pro 3 or do you have both in parallel then? And then import everything from 3 to 4?
Thanks in advance
Thanks. It’s stand alone and runs separately to TP3 and will import everything. You will see them as separate in Native Access.
@@DAVEDigitalandVinylExpert Thanks for the quick answer! Great channel! 👍
Can you control the stems with the F1 controller?
does the s4 mk2 with pro 4?
I don’t have one to test but I can’t see a reason it won’t. But please don’t quote me on that.
Hi Dave, my CPU is going crazy when i generate Stems, and it's not possible to do it while i'm playing a track... ( My pc is quite solid i use it for production as well and never had any CPU issues) Any tips to sort it out ?

Yes of course. Email digitalandvinylexpert@hotmail.com
Get the controllers out Dave, Cheers
why i can"t see the time ?😕
Can someone pls tell me if traktor s4 mk2 will work with the new update of pro 4?
Expander?
What was the Traktor S4 Mk3 (Coreaudio). Mine doesnt have that option, just shared or exclusive
I’m using a Mac. I assume you’re using Windows?
@@DAVEDigitalandVinylExpert yes that’s correct, I suppose that’s why then
Native Instruments are soooooo behind on updating their software, and they still have not addressed latency...
