Long time Traktor user recently switched to Rekordbox after buying some TTs.. I've stumbled across a workflow concern that is a potential deal breaker from me if there isn't a way around it, or maybe I am missing something.
I play a lot of tracks that vary quite a lot in BPM, either by merging different styles or inconsistent vinyl rips. This would mean I need to use sync quite a lot, and Traktor has this workflow nailed in.
On lead-in the deck is reset to absolute mode, if I needed to sync due to track being too slow this would automatically trigger relative mode and allow sync to work.. when finished up loading next track back to lead in absolute mode is triggered... totally seamless. (or needle drop works in relative mode moving track back to the beginning).
I've found this not to be the case in Rekordbox.. pressing sync does nothing, it does not work at all in absolute mode.. so it's a manual press to relative mode, then press sync.. needle drop doesn't work so moving needle does nothing, tracks plays from where it left off even after lead in.. then for next track need to press buttons switching back manually.
Have I missed something? This could potentially force me back to Traktor.
