Traktor DJ for iPad is up

https://t.co/LALNoDo16o

Looks nice & efficient. Works with Traktor S4 conected via USB. Nice!

So now we know what we can expect from iMaschine.

Controlling iMaschine with Maschine hardware will be dope.

 

Don't hold your breath, imaschine is embarrassing .

So what are your thoughts on it so far and what's the deal with Dropbox being required?
---
Oh **** they bit samplr!

 

Dropbox is used to sync your Traktor Collection metadata with the Tracks that you import to Traktor DJ.

It works like this:
1- Prep tracks in Traktor > Perform Metadata sync which writes to Dropbox.
2- Import your tunes from iTunes into Traktor DJ.
3 - Traktor DJ syncs with the Dropbox collection and imports all your beatgrids and hotcues etc and puts them on the corresponding tracks.

TDJ checks Dropbox manually and automatically for changes.

 

What if you doN't run traktor on your computer but still want to use traktor dj?

Btw can you go back and edit the mixes later?

 

Yeah you can use it without Traktor but you have to use iTunes to import the tracks

Edit the mixes? Not in any DAW like way. You can put hot cues on the recordings. Maybe i don't follow your question.

For Traktor users, Traktor DJ only works with one installation of Traktor so any metadata has to be on the same computer that Traktor Pro, iTunes and Traktor DJ is installed on.

 

I really wish they'd do this for imaschine.

 

I wish the whole traktor dev team would take over maschines dev.

Ok I understand
---
Is traktor compatible with the Ida live controller?
---
Is the slice play in the freeze mode recordable or only for live manipulation?

 

So, it's compatible with the S4. What about other controller? In particular the X1? (the controller I happen to have).

 

I love the fact that you guys copied Marcos Alonso's Samplr app, but the fact that Scott hobbs called the freeze/slice feature 'innovative' stings.

Marcos deserves better.

 

So I tried to connect my Audio 6 Dj, but my Ipad didn't recognise it... it says "Cannot use this device. The connected usb device is not supported" does anyone know what to do with it?

 

Nope.

Recordable.

 

I don't have an audio 6, it's class compliant there's a better chance it will work. Do you know if it's class compliant?

 

There's new firmware for the Audio6/10

 

Great thanks........ It's a bummer that it requires os 6.0 but looks like you guys did a nice job.

 

Yes, class compliant, but I don't know if none NI audio devices work, I haven't got one to test.

 

Thank's, now i can confirm, with the new Audio 6 Dj firmware, it works. Also the cue channel is going out on the Master channel of the interface too, so you can use external mixer mixers with two analog channels. you set the cross fader to one of the decks, and turn the cue on for the other deck and you're good to go. the "cue" one, that comes out on the Master output is slightly more quiet than the channel A one, but it's not a major difference. let's hope they'll fix it in later updates.

 

External output mode (like Traktor) has been requested on the beta team. I hope it is implemented as well.

 

How have you got this working? Midi? Audio?

Karlos Santos has said in a thread over on the Traktor DJ forum (http://www.native-instruments.com/forum/showthread.php?t=188840) that there is no midi functionality and that when he tested his S4 as an audio interface it didn't work in that respect either.

 

What about the traktor audio 4 ?

 

Crap it needs 6. My ipad1 wont get it Boo!

I do have most of the other 'pro' DJ apps and would love to see how Traktor fares against them.

Interface is a lot like Samplr. I likey!

Yet another reason to get a new iPad. Damn!
Think i'll wait until March and see if a new one is annouced.
