Traktor reset, fix or uninstall (sync issue)

[AL-THE-OK]

after reciveing an x1 and trying to map it with my s4 i must have changed some settings withing the software.
now one one deck will sync with the other track and never the both tracks syncking with each other. i think i migh have messed with tap setting or somthing either way i carnt fix it.


Ive tried for hours looking but carnt get the syncs to work anymore, ive tried unistalling the software but i think its still managed to save the setting somewhere. Im getting really stressed out , its probably an easy fix for you guys but i dont have a clue.

is there a way to completly reset it, ive been through setup wizard but that does naff all.


thanks for the help much appreciated

Hi,

It is sort of hard to understand what the problem is. Can you explain this a bit better please?

now one one deck will sync with the other track and never the both tracks syncking with each other.

And what did you do here exactly?

after reciveing an x1 and trying to map it with my s4

What did you do to try and map it to your S4? As far as I know, the X1 should be plug and play.

When you disconnect the X1, does the problem still exist? Have you reverted to the default TSIs, if you changed the mappings?

ok mate thanks for replying, I bought the x1 to go with my s4 so i could use it with mapping to apply the extra 8 cue points and have the 3 and 4 fx panel applied to the x1.

When i applied the mapping i noticed that my tracks whernt syncing together, i dont know if this was the mapping or something i had accedentaly changed changeing some options.


After noticeing this i removed the mapping and chose to use the original tsi settings but syncing is still not working.
I can remmember playing with the tap , master and sync settings in the top left corner by accident in which the buttons is aside the effects panel.

I have noticed you can set a beat value in the tap settings and now when i try and sync one track it automaticaly applies itself to that beat value.

Lets say my left track is 128 bpm and the right is 132 bpm it will sync with the right. But not the other way around , if i want to sync the right track to the left it will set itself to the beats in the tap setting or whatever it is.

I just want it to the original settings and its not doing it?

Thanks for your help guys and gals, much appreciated.

Make sure auto is selected in the master clock section.

cheers, that still dident make it work , but i noticed when i turned on the key lock function it started to work ? I dont know if its working properly i carnt remmeber the sync of each track exactaly folowing each other when i changed the tempo of the master track.

Im sure i had to double tap the other track to sync it to the master track if i ever changed the tempo ?

Should key lock be on ?

tried it with keylock again now its not working


The first track i play always says master track above it , i dont want a master track im sure because its the master track is the reason i cannot syn the master track to the other track ?

when i keep going into controller manager its just saying generic keyboured or s4 deafault , the s4 kontoller is working but it the generic keyboured setting is selected even thought i keep changing it to s4 ?

I think this might be a misunderstanding of how the sync function and the "master" work together so I'll try and explain as I understand it.

What ever track is running first, then that deck will be the master in "Auto" mode. If you have two tracks running at the same time and say deck A is master, but you want deck B to be the master, the only way to change the master over to deck B is to press "Shift+Sync" under Deck B. A deck won't take over as master on its own, unless you press "Shift+Sync" or actually stop the track in the other deck.

Hope that makes sense and helps.

is there any way to change this.

i dont want a master track altogether, i just want to be able to sync one track to the other and vice a versa when i click the sync button.

i dont want to have a set beat that my tracks can go up to either....

ive been at this all day.....im ready throw my laptop out the window, ive reinstalled everything but the sync settings arnt original to the original setings it all works fine but i dont want a master track, i want to be able to sync that track to anything else i decide to drop in

cheers

i just want it like it was out of the box and all the setting to be the same

why ................

Um, something has to be the master. You've got three choices.

1. The track running is master in auto mode
2 With two tracks running in auto mode you press shift + sync for the other track to take over as master
3. or the clock is master. (which might have been your previous setting)

There is no other way for sync to work. It is also better there is a master, because say you have two tracks, one is 129 BPM and the other is 124. If you "dropped in" the 124 and it took over "the beat", then all of the sudden your BPM would drop from 129 to 124. Sync means "follow" and for the beat to match up in speed, it needs something that leads, which is the master.
