    Default Swap Deck Tracks in Traktor Pro

    Does anyone no if it's possible to swap the tracks in decks A/B without having to go to playlist, so that I can switch the beat on deck A with the scratch on deck B in a seamleass fashion so that I can switch from scratching the scratch with left hand to right hand.
    I am using Traktor Pro with the numark Mixtrack and Audio 2 DJ.
    You would think that Traktor would have a switch button feature.
    There certain scratchs I can do with my left hand/left deck and visa versa.
    Is this already a feature in Traktor that I am missing? If not Native Instruments should surely see the value of this feature for scratch DJ's.

    Any help from you guys would be great.

    Thanks

    I'd also like to know this as I want a 3rd deck that I can seamlessly 'switch' to deck A or B

    I know about reversing the crossfader, but that still does not achieve what I am after. To be able to assign a button to flip decks while keeping the beat on the flipped decks seamlessly going is what I want. I think NI should add thsi feature. As we are now in software world this should not be a problem.

    Since no one's ever asked for it before, I'm not sure you would

    you might be able to map something, I think there's a command to copy deck a to b or vice versa so maybe if you map that both ways round to the same button it might work.

    Ummm I will have a look into that. Maybe that could be the trick. Thanks

    Yeah, what happens if you use the existing deck copy function?

    In internal mixing-mode, this is easy: Copy Deck should fit exactly your need. Track should be playing as it's copied. If you use the crossfader, make sure to assign the appropriate value to the superbutton as well. Transitioning FX will be though thou, as will the whole idea if you mix externally. Then you'd have to switch decks and crossfade seamlessly to get a unnoticeable transition.

    You mean deck duplicate right? I assigned a button to duplicate A/B and B/A as two seperat in functions assigned to the same button, however it only duplicates one deck. Do i need a modifier or is there something else I am missing? Has anyone got a screenshot of how to set this up?

    you might need a third deck to do this. don't forget to match EQs when swapping
