Create a Drum Roll in Traktor Pro?

Hi all,

New here, love this site. Just saw the ean golden vid where he creates a drum roll in trakor 3.4

and was wondering if this is possible in Traktor Pro, i’ve taken snap off, and still no luck in doing this, can it be done?

I can’t see the youtube video at work, but all you need to do is have buttons to make loops smaller and use them on the snare drums.

Trying to make a video, but damn, it’s hard to mix with a keyboard, lol… props again Panda! banghead

You need to create a tripple macro

Cue/Loop Move Mode
Interaction mode: Direct
Type of controller: Button
Set to Value: Loop Out

Cue/Loops Move Size
Interaction Mode: Direct
Type of controller: Button
Set to Value: Loop

Cue/Loop Move
Interaction Mode: Direct
Type of controller: Button
Set to Value: Back

wooh! way over my head, didn’t seem this hard in the vid! Its the end effect i want to get, where it sounds like the drum roll is getting higher and higher

6

Ean increases the tempo augmenting the pitch and then fades the deck out :slight_smile:

(if only I could recreate on the VCI-100… patience, pratice, patience…)

Edit: I take that back, i should have watched the entire video, he does that at the end !

Never mind me !

naw. i’m still having trouble. even with the macros. i used to be able to get great drum rolls in t3 but now every time i make the loop shorter it just resets back to the original size of the loop. making it impossible to keep getting smaller & smaller. any ideas?

9

Tell us what you currently have mapped to the button your trying to do it with.

10

alright. this is how it is on my keyboard.

cue/loop move
interaction mode: one button for next & one for previous so i can move back & forth

i tried it exactly as you suggested with the triple macro & had all three settings to the same button but still couldn’t get the loop to stick after i shortened it.

i.e. when i catch the loop up to the middle bar track bar it’ll stick in it’s shortened loop position. but the next time around when it runs into the shortened end naturally, the whole loop resets. i just hoping i’m an idiot & it’s not a big deal.

but you are able to create a drum roll with tpro with loops one way or another right?

11

You dont have sync on right ?

And yes you can, i know because i do it all the time.

12

correct. i don’t have sync on

13

oh. 1 thing i did forget to mention is that i’m trying to do this with loops that i’ve set & marked. so each time i load a track it’ll have the loop ready. but it won’t make the drum roll with the flags up…

hmm…

maybe i could just not use that feature. but that seems pointless to be able to have that & not utilize it

14

anyone ever figure out how to do this in Tpro? i’ve given it a shot but cant get it to work :disappointed:.

15

if your track is beatgridded right you can just turn snap on and set a loop and decrease the size of the loop till u get the roll u like and release the loop whenever. Thats how i do it.

16

I’m not gonna read all these replies, but in TSP you just set a loop and shorten the length.

17

you should watch the vid, that tech dosent work. it dosent have that "climbing drum roll effect. i havent been able to figure out how ean made that work in T3

18

In “TSP”

19

yeah i ment in TSP
