How to do precise piitch fadding with Traktor Scratch Pro 2.6?

You know the art of djing is on its way out when people resort to using a spread sheet to make a mix. holy crap I have heard it all. lol..

There's also a magical thing where you just move the pitch slider up and down, and get around about the same bpm on each deck, and then play the tunes together, and make people happy.
Or spend all your time in excel working out a way of doing it that I'm sure the grand masters of mixing have been doing (without necessarily knowing the maths) for ages.

Sure there is this way. but it involves only one of the two pitch faders. my method is relative. is like doing this with both pitch faders ( which cant be done on the track playing cause it would sound shity) unless... you knew exacly the percentages of the two pitch faders, which is impossible to know when the tracks are diffferent from xxx,00. I discovered a way

I'm cool with sync, but excel should be banned.
Can you imagine go to a club and the DJs looking through a spreadsheet.... Man, it's so robotic, and not good robotic either.

i dont read anything, its a mathematica method, i store some thing in my head and discover others in every mix

[Daniboy]

Let me guess. You calculate the difference between the original BPMs and then convert that to percentage, using the fact that 1BPM = 0.8% * 120BPM.

I study computer science, I've attended multiple competitions in mathematics, including a couple international ones where I placed quite well. Don't brag just because you're doing engineering.

no thats not what i do, its much more complex than it, its relative, both bpms work together

I really doubt your method is any better than the one I mentioned.

So wait, all you're doing is moving the pitch slider on the deck you're cueing up?
Holy shit guys, someone get an award for this genius.

You are changing the pitch of the song you're cueing up to match the tune playing, so the BPMs match.... And that's new.
Just... Wow.

[Daniboy]

like when you wanna mix 128,00 to 127,00 , if you do -0,94% on 128,00 and -0,18% on 127,00 you have a perfect mix, zero error. you can store that in your head. But what if it is 128,23 and 126,94? you cant store every single possibility, unless you create a method to have the answer to every possible combinaton, which should firstly be recognized, as cdjs dont show more that 1 decimal pont, and you need 2 for good mixing. so there are basicly two methods, realising what are the bpms and realising what are the pitch fades

yes, but zero error, always. it means if one track becomes 128,675 with the pitch fading the other is also 128,675

Or you could do it by ear.
