I recently updated my Traktor 2.5 to 3. Its a big change from the pervious versions, mainly the new mixer which is modelled on the A&H xone:92 . I was wondering if anyone has used the new version and what they're views are.

um....its pretty good overall, except the fucking rotary tempo, the buggy hotkey function
id go for a Traktor 3 + external mixer....

yea. traktor 3 + external mixer FTW.
it sucks trying to use traktor 3 with a keyboard.
no no....Traktor + hotkeys is really nice...you just have to find your own optimal config.
the problem IS that is Traktor v3 the hotkey function sometimes just goes off....the keys won't work and thats all. only the F1-F12 row, which (in fact) i currently use =)

i'd rather use 2.xx personally. i hated the rotary pitch control.

i wouldn't say the rotary pitch is a tragedy, cause both the 3.xx and 2.xx have a min of +\- 35% which is total insanity...how i wish there could be a +-16 and +-8% one
