traktor pro - noob q's and WTF!!1

[deepstereo]

I can only add that Traktor 3.4 gridding works much better than that in Pro. Quite sad, because it adds a lot of extra work for manually adjusting the grid.

Your problems aren't really because you're a noob, but because NI released Traktor Pro with its ass hanging out. That app is sadly not ready for primetime.

Sounds like the tracks arnt being analyzed at all by Tpro, not too sure why that is.

Go into your Traktor Pro preferefernces - File Management tag - them make sure Background Anaysis when loading into deck is enabled.

You runnin a proper copy of traktor ?

With regards to the beatgrid it sounds liek you have some drift. So you will need to either set multiple beatgrid markers or warp it in ableton then render the track out and then beatgrid in traktor!

That's quite a pain in the *rse to do all that, when you can avoid it by simply using T 3.4

tracktor pro beatgrid workd the same as in 3 so not sure what your issue is then

if you can do it in 3.4 you can do it in pro.

That must be why the deluge of "Gosh, I love Traktor Pro" posts has inundated the NI Traktor forum.

Here is a simple example.

This is the way Traktor 3.4.1 grids "The One I Run To" by Miro:



And this is Traktor Pro with the same file:


it obviously has no idea where the beats are...

Maybe I am missing something in preferences? But I think I have everything configured properly.

In that picture it has the beats wrong but the bpm is good so if you just nudge the marker to the first beat it is done. I have no problems with setting warpers in traktor, just make sure you get the first beat right and from there it is not difficult except for non electronic music and songs with tempo changes.

A few points to remember are always zoom in when placing the first beat and check if the beatgrid is drifting in the end of the song. To check if you placed it right you can simply make a 4, 8 or 16 bar loop and see if it loops good.
