Loop Active problem.

Hello all.

It seems that predefined loops on some tracks don´t get activated automatically when played. It´s a problem for me because I don´t always notice when Active is off and I forget to turn it on manually before the loop kicks in. Does someone have an explanation for this.
Thanks in advance,

Synthster.

Hello and welcome to the forums,
storing a loop as an hotcue type doesn't mean it will activate when the track reaches that loop. Stored loops only activate by themselves only when the cue point is selected directly (you 'jump' to that point) or when you tell the software to activate the loop (beforehand reaching it or during it). Yes it means you need to not forget what you want to do...(multitasking, precision, dexterity, 'technical awareness', etc...are part of your skill set).

Thanks for the reply. I guess that one will get used to checking if Active is green immediately after loading a loop track into a deck.

I could have sworn there is a option in traktor that enables loop to be activated once the track reaches the loop in point...

I had that problem when I was doing mapping. I must revisit it, would have thought there was a way round it

Use 'Loop Active On' command not 'Loop Set'. Once this command is active your loop cues become ready.

in other words, yes the loop active function.

Winner! Cheers for that stewe, I thought I had mapped that one, but I need to press a button for it to work. I'll mess around with it..
