Syncing Half time or double time?

[Paka Ono]

When trying to beat match half time/double time I've found that matching the snare hits works better than trying to match kicks.

Matching snares alllllways works better than matching kicks :P

I wouldn't mind one ither, haha.

you guys are greedy. Silver's fine with me.

I've tried that, it deff does not work as well as i would like it to, do you suggest maybe presetting my bpms in another program for this?

Did you check if the original grid was set right by Traktor. Sometimes Traktor gets the grid/the bpm wrong so it won't work as well as it should.
It works fine for me but I regridded most of my tracks.

The x2 /2 (which can be assigned to a controller) and the gold medal option are your only realistic choices

From now on whenever there is a beatmatching vs sync bitching thread I say we all just proudly flaunt our gold medals.

Not one part of your response was helpful to me in anyway shape or form

In the end, what do you want ? Beatmatch 2 tracks with one having half/double bpm of the others. And you wanna do it quick so you will have time to act like a star in the booth. I'm giving you the most reliable, and fast method I know, ears.
But it looks like you are too lazy to get a nice and reliable result, so you would like me and everyone here give you a "1 button solution" ?

You are raging at me when i'm trying to help you, and just because of this, i hope that any method you will receive from others here will ONCE totally FAIL (most probably cause traktor will screw up finding the kick), if possible in front of thousands of people.

If this "i'm a beatmatch pro but i like digital methods trolololol" moment get caught on camera, i would like to have it. Thanks.


PS : for the medal do you ship to Europe ?

I think the easiest way would be to use the x2 and /2 buttons in the advanced-panel of a deck to temporarily double or half the beatgrid. So your song stays at say 65bpm but uses a 130bpm grid so u can sync it to a 130bpm track.

That does work, just need to make sure the beatmarker is placed on the first beat of the bar and not the second otherwise its not going to work.

@dope - please curve the behavior, its really not welcome here.

Sure you can suggest for the OP to use his ears but you don't need to make an ass out of yourself in the process.

Exactly. Thanks for making that clear.
