    Default Traktor - SWAP A and B deck songs with one hotkey while in the mix

    Hi,

    is there a known hotkey/solution or midi map key (my opinion is that there must be someone who already did this), to hot swap songs that are playing on A and B decks but to stay in the mix, so just to switch positions??..

    for instance... im mixing two song, and, because i only use one turntable (DECK B) i want to quickly scratch whats playing on DECK A, but want DECK B to continue playing,
    so i want to hot swap the songs and that they stay in mix, is that possible??

    I tought of mapping a key to change the control vinyl from B to A when i press it, but i would need to invesitgate more the options and midi map solutions for that ...since then i would also need to change on which side the crossfader should cut, and other stuff

    Your second option is the better one, mate.

    You are going to map the swap of A > B for timecode control and assigning the deck to the opposite side of the crossfader to the same button.

    hmmm... yes, seems like the most reasonable option... will try it out def.... thnx

    which is the option in the controller editor to assign the fader to opposite side?? cant seem to find it...
    how to toggle the timecode to A from B, i found timecode>scratch control on, but it just switches the deck to scratch control, it doesn't toggle it on -I've set input for both A and B to the same control vinyl, so thats correct...

    Why do you want to reverse the cross fader? Your turntable won't be moving...

    You could set up a one button toggle change the control vinyl from Deck B to A and back again.
