    I found some bugs in the "Key Highlighting" function, and I also find it unsuitable to colorize tonal colors in a fixed color library, it has no practical use, it only has a visual function, I would like to propose a system for marking suitable tonalities based on color, but which has sense

    I would like that each color is responsible for a certain step in tonality.
    As we know each key has 7 steps. I would like the Traktor to tint the Keys based on the step of the track. Which is in the master deck
    For example:
    1. Orange - 1 step
    2. Blue - 2 step
    3. Red - 3 step
    4. Purple - 4 step
    5. Yellow - 5 step
    6. Green - 6 step
    7. Magenta - 7 step

    Thanks to such a color system, the DJ will be able to better understand which key he should switch to, he will be understand 7 steps from Master track, he will need to remember only 7 colors.

    In other words, the key color in tracks in browser will change depending on the track on the master.

    The modern circle of camelot, which is most often used by DJs, is suitable only for beginner DJs, but if we want to make mixes more advanced in terms of harmony, we need to use musical harmony and, unfortunately, the Traktor does not allow us to conveniently work with keys, so I usually use a quarto-fifth circle with classical symbols or an application in my phone, like TONALY in Apple store.

    If you improve "Key Highlighting", DJs with knowledge of harmony will find it easier to prepare mixes and select harmoniously correct tracks based on steps in tonality

    Add an addition to the 15. Key highlighting, I would like to offer a tonality column illumination depending on the selected track in the browser.
    For example, a track in the tonality of Dminor is highlighted here
    D minor has 7 steps:
    Dm (1), Em * (2), F (3), Gm (4), Am (5), Bb (6), C (7)
    And each step of tonality is highlighted in a certain color, this improvement will make it possible not to use the quart-quint circle and quickly find harmony connections between the tracks

    Very good suggestion, although offset with more than 2 sounds terrible..

    "although offset with more than 2"
    What do you mean?

    I mean that changing too much of the pitch makes the track sound bad. Maybe 1 or 2 steps is enough, but more than that is not ok.

    no no, this is not a semitone function, these are 7 steps in key, steps, perhaps the translator does not translate the word correctly.

    The only thing I've ever wanted Traktor to have is a waveform image of the tracks in the browser ! Being able to see what the track looks like before loading it into the deck is such a bonus. Rekordbox Serato Engine all have this feature ! Please, Its the only thing I've ever felt was missing !

    To the two previous sentences for the input field in paragraph 4, I want to offer third way for more convenient work with fields and text
    4.1 Quick tag selection in field
    All the tags that were written in a specific column, we can select through the menu, just as we select a color through the menu

    2.1
    It would also be useful to be able to rename the name of the columns or create our own personal traktor columns

    23. Explorer
    And the third sentence for the Explorer on the left, so that the DJ can attach the Windows / Mac system folders, and can drag the tracks between them, as the user does through the regular file manager in win/mac - this function will be very useful, as it will allow you to store files on the hard drive in order.
    For instance, I want to make folders on the computer, which would correspond to some larger concepts, like pop, underground, techno or trance, maybe I even store tracks in one folder, which are well suited for mix, In this case, DJ will be able to keep the tracks on the hard drive in good condition, and he will do more and more detailed operations with the help of playlists and smart playlists.

    24. Add the ability to attach Windows / Mac folders, playlists, smart playlists in the browser on the left for fast access

    30. Cloud NI and use one library in different pc/mac
    Add the ability to save the library to the native access, so that it works between different computers. Free plan can save only collection file, and for 4-5$ per mounth dj can buy more space from NI cloud. This method will make it good way to import and export the library in the eco-system NI. And as I wrote a few time ago in other thread, the traktor collection file should be merged into one file, because now, the collection file, the settings and the folder on the C drive, (samples, remix sets) are three different saving processes. This needs to be combined and made simpler. I'm not sure if you need this, but at least let's create the appearance that someone is still interested in the traktor :)o_O

    10.
    Adding to paragraph 10 about a separate browser window, this can also be implemented to increase / decrease when dj works with the browser, if he touches the track selection knob on the controller, then the browser increases to the full height of the window, as soon as a track was selected in the deck, the browser disappears and only 2-4 decks appear, because now, in most cases, the browser is either very small at the bottom, only a few lines, or not at all visible, if it is a 13.3 screen, make the browser window and decks dynamically resize in relation to each other.
    DJ does not need the browser window and the decks at the same time while playing, so such a replacement mode would be a good solution

    Sometimes, when I'm sad, I go to this thread and read these suggestions, after it becomes easier for me, I close the page and return to my usual things. When I re-read this, my brain thinks that this is all happening in reality and I feel happy after that.
    It seems this is my blog for myself. Each re-reading of this thread gives me new answers on my life path, relieves stress and cheers me up. I don't know how it works, but it works

    I have already put up my S8 for sale and will return to the rekordbox as before. I like NI the controllers more then Pioneer, but the traktor is a very weak program. If they release within a month the update that they promised us and there will be a lot of what we are waiting for, I will close the sale, if not, then I will have to say goodbye to these guys.

    I also consider it a betrayal that they sold their company, which is very bad for them. I don't like these dirty games in the music industry, but seem NI to have fallen into this trap.

    Who is "they"? The traktor team, that got bough by NI decades ago?
    or NI, the musical instruments company?


    which ones? there are so many suggestions in this forum.
    in particular YOU made dozens - if not hundreds - of high quality suggestions.

    What is your top-3?

    For me its either extremly simple things (moving things around in the code, or making copies of existing functionaly):
