I use the pitch faders on the mixtrack… maybe I’m missing some kind of adjustment in traktor which I’ll check for sure. And on my case, matching manually using a controller is pretty much the only way I have to learn how to do it right now.. It’s something I want to learn even if I don’t use it at all. 
Yea the cue button works the same, just tap it in. I know a lot of guys who learned on crisis learned that was while in cdj mode. There’s no wrong way to learn it, it may be frustrating in the beginning but once you learn its fun and rewarding.
There has to be a good tutorial some where for this.
Oh, okay. I think there was something like a tempo range setting.
Set it as short as you can. Like…+/-2BPM max.That gives the midi control (I’m assuming it’s 7-bit) about the same resolution as CDJs had a little while ago. I don’t remember how to do that, exactly, but either you can set the range somewhere or you reset the control to “relative” and turn the sensitivity way down with a bit of acceleration…play with it until you can adjust by at most a couple BPM with the fader without any jumps or gaps in the adjustment.
That’s the best you’re going to get.
Or, if you want to do it manually, just buy decks. I still don’t get the point of beat matching manually if you’re mixing in a computer. Remember: as soon as you turn on that laptop, you don’t have any excuse for flamming.
Btw, pitch resolution in the CDJ and Turntable world is a freaking joke…complaining about it is a huge “I’m an idiot; I don’t know how to mix; and I won’t listen to people” sign. But on MIDI controllers, it’s legit….
