Traktor Decks Unresponsive
Ok so here the tech:
Apple MacBook Air - M4 - Tahoe 26.5.1
Traktor 4.5.0 7
Kontrol S2 MK3
I’m doing a mix next week and I am using SYNC (sue me) MASTER set to 128BPM
Occasionally, usually after loading a track to a hotcue and waiting to drop it on the beat:
● One deck (only one) becomes completely unresponsive.
● Pressing Play on the S3 does nothing.
● Clicking Play in the Traktor UI also does nothing.
● The deck doesn’t spin or advance.
● The Sync indicator flashes intermittently.
● The phase meter behaves erratically.
● The other deck continues playing normally.
● After a fairly long period (tens of seconds or longer), the deck suddenly starts playing by itself without me touching anything.
This doesn’t appear to be a controller disconnect because the rest of Traktor continues working, and it isn’t just the hardware Play button - the on-screen Play button also fails.
I’m wondering whether this is a bug with the Master Clock/Sync engine, particularly when using the global Master Clock rather than deck-to-deck sync.
Has anyone seen this, or found a workaround? I’m also interested to know whether switching away from the Master Clock workflow solved it for anyone.
