    Is it possible to run Traktor Pro on an external HDD?

    Just so I can bring my drive and plug it in and play.

    dont see how that would work, as u need a operating system to run the program , and some kind of interface to control it..... maybe i am wrong tho..

    I'm inclined to assume that it's not possible too, although it'd be way cool if it could work.

    I bet some hack for it could be made... don't really know to be honest.

    yes and no.

    you would still need a computer with traktor on it, of course.
    but you would be able to store on your external hdd everything else you need and import that to that other computer.

    personally, i do that - when i'm going to gigs outside the town i always have an external hdd with me, so in case my gigging laptop gets stolen/breaks i would be still able to dj somehow.

    see traktor manual "backup and profiles" for more info and dont hesistate to come back if there are any more questions.

    yea I'm aware of this system, although I'm not 100% to grips with it and Im a bit concerned I might just mess everything up. However deffo worth getting on it as my laptop has been broken and thus unable to play.
    If I had an external HDD at that time I could've played on a mates comp. This is basically the safe guard im after here.

    yup, as i pointed out before - i'm having that as ultimate backup on a hdd (plus my traktor installation file, the tracks of course and my serial) for the super emergency haywire case (i luckily never encountered so far).
