What's New in Traktor Pro 4

What's new in Traktor Pro 4

Traktor Pro 4 is a major update introducing high quality stem separation, flexible beatgrids and access to the Pattern Player and Ozone Maximizer for all users, with a fresh UI.

Added Feature

• Built-in stem separation
  Separates any of your local tracks into drums, bass, vocals and instrumental parts in high-quality. Performing with stems is supported by S2 MK3, S4 MK3, S3, X1 MK3, D2, S8 and S5. For older Traktor controllers and for third-party controllers Stem controls can be manually added to the mappings.
• Stem mute buttons
  The stem control panel in the stem deck has received a dedicated button for muting / unmuting each stem individually.
• Flexible beatgrids
  Define multiple tempo-zones per track for highly-accurate looping, beat jumps, beat effects, and mixing of tracks with changing tempo.
• Separate grid markers and cue points
  Grid markers are now completely separate entities to cue points. Hot cues can now be deleted without removing the underlying beat grid.
• Grid reset button
  The button formerly names "AUTO" in the Grid panel has been renamed to "⟳ Grid" (Reset Grid) to better represent it's action. An additional confirmation dialog for tracks with manually adjusted beat grids prevents their unwanted deletion.
• Pattern Player
  Bring the sequenced sounds of iconic drum machines and leading producers to your sets. Performance with Pattern Player is supported by all Traktor controllers and and can be mapped via MIDI to third party controllers. This feature was previously only available to subscribers of Traktor Pro Plus.
• New Pattern Player Kits
  Three new Pattern Player Kits by Rebekah, Len Faki, and Luke Slater have been added to the collection.
• Ozone Maximiser
  Maximizes your sound, preserving sharp peaks, avoiding distortions, pumping, and clipping. Ozone Maximiser helps blend playlists into one cohesive experience. This feature was previously only available to subscribers of Traktor Pro Plus.
• Improved Ozone Maximizer settings
  The Ozone Maximizer settings panel has been overworked for more intuitive usage.
• UI reskin
  A fresh, modern look for the entire user interface.
• Auto-config for Pioneer DJM-A9
  Plug-and-play support has been added for the Pioneer DJM-A9.
• Auto-config for Reloop Flux DVS Interface
  Plug-and-play support has been added for the Reloop Flux DVS interface.
• What's New start-up dialog
  On first start-up Traktor Pro 4 shows a What's New dialog with direct links to tutorial videos describing the new features.
• Application menu logfile access
  The Help tab of the Application menu now contains the entry "Show Log File" for direct access to the log files in case these are requested by customer service.

Fixed

• Browser flickering
  Long, sorted playlists no longer flicker when loading tracks or editing metadata.
• Crash resulting from high audio channels
  There is no longer a crash when assigning audio channels above 12.
• Missing path for Save as Webpage
  Save as webpage now shows a warning message if the default path is not available on the user's computer.

Changes

• Traktor Pro Plus
  All features exclusive to Traktor Pro Plus have been moved to the main codebase. The optional Traktor Pro Plus subscription for Traktor Pro 3 will be discontinued at the end of the year.
• Setup Wizard
  The Setup Wizard has been removed from the Help tab of the Application menu and replaced by an easier to use entry to Reset Settings Default.
• All Stems tree node
  The "All Stems" tree node has been removed from the browser to prevent confusion of purchased legacy stems with the new generated stems. This folder can be restored by creating a Smart List searching for ".mp4" in the file name.
• Offline Locker renamed to Offline Library
  The naming of the former Beatport Offline Locker has been aligned to its new name: Offline Library.

Known Issues

• Crash when loading the stem version on D2 / S5 / S8
  When loading the stem version of a track that is already loaded in the same deck, Traktor will crash.
• Stems waveforms initially not visible on D2 / S5 /S8
  When loading stem files (associated or not) on the D2 / S5 / S8, the waveforms are not displayed (stripe is). With any screen interaction triggering a refresh, the waveforms are shown correctly.
• Generate Stems disabled in Explorer Node
  Stem generation is currently disabled in all subfolders of the Explorer Node.
• Grid Markers do not reset downbeat
  Traktor Pro 4 Grid Markers do not reset the downbeat as Grid Markers used to do in Traktor Pro 3.
