Traktor Pro has problems with CDJ-350

This issue with Traktor Scratch Pro and a HID-connection with CDJ-350 ruined my gig last night.

The problem is that the Jog-wheel stops working and loses connection some how while every other buttons are working like it should. In my case the issue happened when I was playing with the Loop buttons. I've been searching on this issue and there are many other dudes that have been struggling with the exactly same problem. They too played with the loop buttons before the jog-wheel died on them, so it must be some bug with Traktor because the problem can only be solved if you restart Traktor. I've tried to restart the CDJ:s and all but nothing happened. I also get a MIDI signal when I play with the Jog-wheel but it won't work. So I think its Traktor that have a issue in this case.

Is the anybody out there who has solved this issue without restarting Traktor please share it with me.

DJ softwares

I've been a Deejay for many years now and people use to ask me about these DJ softwares that can make any one a DJ.

Well yes its true, any body can technically be a DJ by using a software like Traktor, Serato or other ones. I my self use Traktor and that makes my work much easier then before. No more searching for songs in 1-2 minutes on CD-cases or such any more, a lot of effects to play with, better control and overall view and even beat sync which I never use. But the line between being a good DJ and a worthless DJ is very thin. No software in the world can make you a good DJ that can fill up the dance-floor and keep it that way all night. Very important that a DJ has the rhythm in the blood and has the knowledge of what tracks that works on that particular floor, when to change a song and know what song to play next to keep the people on the dance-floor, because when you lose four people the others will follow the flock. I mean a professional Club-DJ does not play its own favorite songs because that would just kill the dance floor and I see many "DJ's" make that mistake. Dude your'e here to play what the most guests like to dance to, not for your self or your friends.

So what I mean is, to be a good DJ, you need knowledge and experience and rhythm in you. Beat sync won't help if you don't got the rhythm in you or you don't have no idea when to mix in the other song.
