Traktor Layout 'Hack' for 13inch Macbook & 2 Decks

[fullenglishpint]

overlapping waveforms = no need to beatgrid lol

Wouldn't work though, would it?

The waveform stays the same size and moves at the same speed whether it's 175bpm DnB or 85bpm Hip Hop, but speeds up or slows down if you use the pitch fader.

In Itch and SSL the wave stretches when you move the pitch fader, always moving at the same speed.

So you wouldn't be able to line up the beats with this method like you can on SSL and Itch. I think.

I made a video of it in action, see first post!

I have a 11.6 MacBook Air with OS X Lion and this didn't seem to work at all. Any way to implement this layout?

Could you be more specific? Which step is troubeling you?
It's working fine on Lion on my Macbook Pro...

I followed the steps, but it didn't resize my decks like your image shows. I used Apple's built-in text-edit, not sure if that makes a difference. I have 11" MacBook Air.

Alright.. seems to be a problem with Lion indeed .. I just resized my window back to normal and am unable to do step#3 ... I will try to find a solution - this is the problem http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=1185089

Okay I found a solution...

The easy way (if you have an external screen):
Connect the external screen - make it your main display - resize Traktor the way you want... quit Traktor - disconnect the external screen... should work!

The hard way (if you don't have an external screen)
You gotta use screenrecycler (beta for lion) and a vnc client (jollyfastvnc) to emulate a secondary display... then you make that your main display, resize traktor, quit traktor and quit screenrecycler... that's how I just did it.. works but you should be a bit tech-savvy for that

Nice find, but with waveforms, especially this big, i doubt you are listening to your tracks, you're watching them.
Kind of a paradox for a musician
