==================================================================
3. Known Issues and Important Notes
==================================================================

- The Traktor 3.0.1 update came with a new set of default layouts.
These do not overwrite your layouts by default but have to be
manually loaded. Proceed as follows if you want to use the new
set of layouts instead your current ones (be aware that this
operation will reset all your personal preferences settings as
well):
1. Quit Traktor DJ Studio 3
2. In your "Traktor3" folder, rename the current settings file
"Traktor DJ Studio 3 Settings.xml" as
"Traktor DJ Studio 3 Settings.old"
3. Make a copy of the file:
"Traktor DJ Studio 3.0.1 Settings.xml" and rename it as:
"Traktor DJ Studio 3 Settings.xml"
4. Restart Traktor DJ Studio 3.
- Running the Beatport Online Store on Flash 8 may require
lowering of the default security settings. This can be done as
follows:
1. Right-/ ctrl-click anywhere on the Beatport shop.
2. Choose "Settings" from the menu.
3. In the Flash Player settings choose "Advanced" button
4. This opens the Macromedia Settings Manager
5. Click on "Global Security Settings Panel"
6. Wait for the Flash-Panel to load and select "Always Allow"
- Switching back and forth to fullscreen mode in combination with
the Beatport Shop can cause redraw errors.
- Hotkeys: in case of problems with hot keys (mostly when using
a non US version of Mac OS X), the keyboard layout has to be
changed to "American" layout before launching Traktor DJ
Studio 3. "On-the-fly" switching of the keyboard layout
(multiple language input sources) is not sufficient.

Known issues from version 3.0.1 and before

- FS2: On computers having problems with audio stuttering on

loading and on engaging key lock, set the CPU latency to "Low"
in the driver configuration panel of the ScratchAmp. Also set
all effects to "No Effect".
- FS2: Due to problems on certain computers when opening the
ScratchAmp control panel within Traktor, the button 'Control Panel'
has been removed. To change settings in the ScratchAmp control
panel, open the control panel from the Start Menu or directly
from the folder Programs > Stanton.

- When upgrading from Traktor DJ Studio 2.x to Traktor 3 you

should use the function "Import Collection" found in the context
menu of the Collection icon.
- Hotkey and MIDI-presets from former versions are not compatible
to Traktor DJ Studio 3. The version installs with a new default
suited for 4 deck use. The installer provides 2 additional .tks
files, one similar to the former preset of Traktor DJ Studio 2.6
and one similar to the former preset of Traktor FS2.
- FS2: Please use the FS2 Details panel to calibrate the decks.
Calibration is no longer linked to the Timecode buttons in the
Decks.

The following features known from Traktor 2 have not implemented

in version 3.0.1, and will be postponed until a more extended
implementation.
