    Default Syncing tracks with S4

    I cant seem to fiqure out why when im mixing 2 tracks that are on different bpms the first on 134 the second on 150 when i switchto the second the bpm changes when i want it tostay at 134. Hope this makes sense.

    Turn off sync altogether on both decks and learn to beat match....learn the basics of mixing first.

    And how are you mixing without beat matching? Wouldn't that just sound like noise?

    I'm not trying to be rude, but honestly just trying to see what you were attempting.

    I want to have it spot on so i want it auto synced to record a set of all my tracks im a producer really. So i want the tracks to flow without having to worry about manually beatmatching as im not that used to S4 yet.

    So the problem evolves from not being able to beatmatch, to not being able to sync.

    Keep both sync buttons on, choose the master bpm in Traktor and off you go....you have obviously ran these tracks through the beat-grid beforehand yes?

    No don't do that...

    I think he wants his music playing at the original bpm's not synced together.

    Turn off sync on both decks and they should stay at their original tempo.
