So here's how you go back on the Mac: Go to Applications/Native Instruments/Traktor 2/Backup. You'll find your old Traktor 2.1.2 (R12125).app". Just replace Applications/Native Instruments/Traktor 2/Traktor.app with that one and you're good to go

best regards,

I have the exact opposite problem. Since 2.5 I cannot get my sample decks to sink to either of my tracks decks. Can anyone shed a little bit of light on this?
Sorry I know it's off topic.

They wont be. That version stopped being updated from the day you stopped using it.

If you wish to use an older build you should import the collection from the last time you used Traktor from the newer build. You should also copy over the stripes / Transients folders and History if you need it.

Run consistency checker and analyse/relocate any tracks that have gone astray in the process.

I opened an older backup version on y Mac, but none of the tracks I imported since that version were in the collection.

Dragging up an old thread instead of creating a new one...

I'm believeing of doing this from 2.5 but I've not long used an S4 Scratch upgrade serial to upgrade from Pro 2 to Scratch Pro 2, this won't be effected in the roll back will it?

OK but I don't see where it gives you the option to go back to previous version
