Hey guys, just a quick update. I found a way better solution to do this trick / hack!
If you haven't read the original post yet, the basic idea is to have bigger waveforms when using 2 decks - this can be accomplished by putting Traktor into 4 deck mode, using deck A and C as output and resizing the width of the window by following these instructions (you will have to modify your mapping B->C if you use a controller). Basically it will look like this
How-To
■ download a code editor - e.g. BB Edit (trial) or Sublime Text (free)
■ on OSX go to (Windows users should have a similar folder somewhere)
Code:
/Users/YOU/Documents/Native Instruments/Traktor 2.5.X
■ copy and paste the file Traktor Setting.tsi to make a backup
■ open Traktor Setting.tsi in the code editor
■ scroll down to the very bottom, it will look something like this
Code:
...
<Entry Name="View.Window.Size.X" Type="1" Value="1280"></Entry>
<Entry Name="View.Window.Size.Y" Type="1" Value="800"></Entry>
<Entry Name="WaveDisplay.GridMode" Type="1" Value="1"></Entry>
<Entry Name="Wavedisplay.ColorMode" Type="1" Value="3"></Entry>
<Entry Name="Wavedisplay.PlayMarkerPos" Type="1" Value="50"></Entry>
<Entry Name="Wavedisplay.ShowMinuteMarkers" Type="0" Value="0"></Entry>
<Entry Name="Wavedisplay.Stripeview" Type="1" Value="0"></Entry>
<Entry Name="Wavedisplay.WarningClock" Type="1" Value="30"></Entry>
<Entry Name="Wizard.Completed" Type="0" Value="1"></Entry>
</TraktorSettings>
</NIXML>
■ now just change this value to any size you want, this will be the new width of your Traktor window (you could try around 2000 on a 13inch)
Code:
...
<Entry Name="View.Window.Size.X" Type="1" Value="1280"></Entry>
...
■ save & close, done!
Optional: Hide the Menubar (this will only affect Traktor, not other programs!)
■ Go to Programs -> Native Instruments -> Traktor 2
■ right click (or CTRL+click) on the Traktor Icon and choose Show Package Contents
■ open Contents -> open info.plist in the code editor
■ scroll down to the very bottom, it will look like this
Code:
...
<key>LSPrefersCarbon</key>
<true/>
</dict>
</plist>
■ now add the following two lines, so it looks like this
Code:
...
<key>LSPrefersCarbon</key>
<true/>
<key>LSUIPresentationMode</key>
<integer>4</integer>
</dict>
</plist>
■ save & close
