Traktor mapping tips, tricks and questions.

[zestoi]

I bought this software yesterday from a friend in New York, and I was wondering if any of the forum members could check it out for me to see if it was an optimal product of choice when one needs to start learning how to Dj. Please let me know if you have any other opinions on any software programs that I should buy in order for me to get a handle on how things work when I start out. Here is the software: http://www.howtodjtoday.com/cb1.html?hop=ironman911
Please let me know as soon as possible. Thanks

Not exactly the right forum or thread, and because this is your first post it smells like spam.

If this is not spam, then I think it's a waste of money. You can learn all the basics and more via YouTube, forums, etc.

I've got a question about mapping my Traktor S4. I'm running Traktor Pro 2 with the 2.1.1 update.

Question #1 I've been trying to map the armyofme4340 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zZX2Y...el_video_title

or load the tsi and it is not working, in native mode or in midi mode. Can anyone help me figure this out? I've loaded it about 3 times and restarted Traktor twice and even restarted my Mac.

Question #2 Does anyone know of any good free mappings for traktor s4 in midi mode?

If this is he same person from YouTube.
My answer to you from YouTube was.....

MrBedroomDJ
She's using an S2 and you have an S4. Just make your own mapping in midi mode by using her sweep video to see how it is done.

For Midi mode TSI's
Yul has a juggle mode TSI in the S4 forum, also thetraktorbible.com has a few that do different things.
Also there is a loop recorder TSI for super knobs in the S4 forum.

I really suggest learning to map things yourself as you will have a much better handle on how things work. I would only do this in midi mode though, (at least until you really understand all th ins and outs) as in NHL mode you have to negate things first, and you are limited on what you can map.

Thanx for the info! I finally got it! I followed the video (Building sweep) army of me and installed my older traktor version 2.0.1 and it worked in S4 midi mode!

Thanx again!

I've a question were's and how can i map the function that a certain fx bank is assinged to a certain deck????

I have a question about mapping for the DELETE button for HOTCUES - and deleteing hotcues while they are NOT active.

I am using a generic midi controller (Korg padKontrol).
I have set a button (lets call him button A) to set cue "1" and another button (lets call him button B) to delete cue "1".
So as the track is playing I can set my cue where ever I want just by pressing A. When hot cue 1 is active (selected in the cue menu of the deck), button B will delete the hotcue and then I can use button A to select a new hotcue position.

BUT!

When hotcue 1 is not active (for example if a different hotcue has just been pressed and is currently selected in the hotcue menu of the deck) button B does not delete the hotcue!!!

I want a way to delete hotcues without having to active them first because that means jumping around the track activating the cues before deleting them.

I have come up with a work around but its a pain...
When the track playing and I don't want to jump to a cue position just to delete it, I set a 32 bar loop from the current position, then load it to a sample deck, fade in the sample deck and out the track deck, now the song is continuing (for a limited time) and I can work on the track, now I select the hotcue I want to delete by cueing to it and now I can delete it, now cue back to the out position of that loop I just made earlier and slam it at the end of the sample deck. This means I have to do it before the sample deck ends (not hard, infact there is time to delete all 8 hotcues, but still...) and it's a waste of time.

I have a feeling there is no simple way to do this because of the way Traktor sets up cues in the computers memory. If anyone knows of a way, or even a better work around that would be great.

I was using DELETE CUE/LOOP instead of DELETE HOTCUE.
Moment of madness - lasted a week though :/
