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

Or you could do it by ear.

yes haha but it is no longer a good deal when the other djs are hitting sync and having perfect mixing always. Its just a method to archive perfect precision at any bpm combination, which is impossible by ear

You've just explained an overcomplicated, less smart version of what I suggested, mate.

So you're going through all this trouble, so that you can claim that you're better than DJs who use sync because you use a spreadsheet and not a button? That's pathetic.

well actually you just described what manual mixing is, adding a percentage to a bpm to be close or exact the other one. of course it is what i do, its the only thing you can do with pitch faders....

but tell me, if you knew a track was 128,45 and the other was 129,33, what percentages would you use on both? considering you have to do it in your head

you understood what i said, sometimes you need two tracks to be playig more than 1 minutr together, than you need 0 error or it WILL drift, and depending the time, will drift a lot

Let's say Track A is playing. It has an original tempo of 128.45 and a percentage of +x%. If you want to bring in a new track with original tempo of 129.33, you pitch it to + (x-0.75*(129.33-128.45)) = x- 0.75*0.9 = + (x - 0.675) %

Yes, tunes may (or rather will) drift when you beatmatch by ear, but that's why you have jogwheels.

awsome!! but your cdj ony has 2 decimal points so it cant be 0,675%, it has to be 0,68 or 0,66, which depending on the mix, would result an audible error.
so how do you fix that????
you change the bpm of the other track too, but how much? well you would need to do other calculus like this one you did, or you can use a method that gives you both percentages, understand?

pitch bend?! you will be choosing the next track, talking to people, reading the crowd while you pitch bend nonstop, come on, i doubt you pitch bend poor precision mixes when the two tracks are playing, its sound shitty

A GOOD dj can play just as well as those guys using sync. Just an FYI, its called years of hard work and practice. Almost 20 years under my belt and I can play my tunes without sync or with sync, and the listener would never know the difference. Again, this is why our art is suffering, not sync, not software, but because people care not about the art.
