    Default Traktor Looping Question

    I use Traktor to perform my own tracks by taking variations on a beat or phrase and juggling them. every so often, I'll loop a beat on one of the turntables, while scratching on the other, or playing keys over the top. And here comes the problem:

    This new track I'm working on is in 3/4 time, and all the looping parameters in Traktor assume 4/4. :eek:

    Anybody know a way around this?

    Heres an example of what you need to do:

    Drop a 4 bar loop

    Change the loop mode to loop out

    Set the loop move size to 1

    now press the < button to decrease the size of the loop by 1 beat

    You now have a 3 beat loop

    and then store that as a hotloop so you've got it for future use (will show up green)

    Thanx for the help guys. Just tried it and it worked fine. Now I just gotta add those extra buttons to the Midifighter so I can do this on the fly!
