Ok,
Here goes......
I am a vinyl Dj I play oldskool jungle and 90's jump up drum & bass
I don’t post much on here, but I am here.....watching....judging......
It seemed to me that Traktor was the program of choice for the majority on this forum (Not trying to start a fight here) so, I bit the bullet and decided to buy it after much....much reading.
I am not a sync dj (Again, not trying to start a fight) and I love mixing on vinyl, nothing beats it, so I purchased traktor A10 literally as a way to lighten the load, and have all the tracks at my fingertips, not having to dig through my crates of records, allowing me to mix more and faster.
I can’t get on with it though. I can mix on vinyl no problem, tight as you like and pretty efficiently. I don’t think Traktor plays like vinyl at all.
The best way to describe the problem I am having with it, is that it is slow to catch up. If that makes sense?
I don’t know how you guys mix, but once I have scratched the first beat, and dropped it in on my mixing point, I don’t touch the vinyl or platter again, until I am taking the record off. It’s all pitch control from there.
I am used to riding the pitch fader, but god damn! I have never had to do so much adjusting in my life, my mixes are all over the place.
Does anybody else have this problem, or am I doing something wrong?
It may be worth noting, that I have done a mod I saw on YouTube, where I no longer need the silver soundcard box that came with traktor, and I use the soundcard in my DB4 mixer.
I was having the same problem before I did this though, but thought it might be worth mentioning.
I am running it through a brand new macbook pro too, so I am pretty sure it’s not the laptop.
Thanks in advance guys, and if I have not explained myself properly, I will do my best to clarify.
Thanks.
Matt.
