Does anyone else have problems with Traktor 2 completely failing at auto gridding?

Does anyone else have problems with Traktor 2 completely failing at auto gridding?

Traktor Pro auto gridded tracks absolutely fine. Now with S4 and T2 at least 25% of my tracks do this. I know it is simple to fix but this shouldn’t happen, the autogrid feature used to work just fine, now it is gridding everything off by a beat or so a noticeable percentage of the time. There is no excuse for this and there is no solution on the NI forums other than “you should be gridding them yourself anyway blahblahblah”. It is screwing up grids on simple 128bpm house tracks. What the hell is that little transient before the first beat that shouldn’t be there? WHY TRAKTOR? :roll_eyes:

Happens to me as well, it pisses me off.

I’ve even mapped delete grid and set grid buttons to fix it live in a matter of seconds.

Nothing like this ever happened in TSP. They are fixing little things with updates to T2 that no one cares about and this is still a major issue that hasn’t been adressed at all.

I’m still lacking full EQ kills for other EQ settings than Classic…

welcome to my world. I jumped ship for that reason. I couple people on how to load your folder from TP and keep all you grids, Im not 100% sure.

Uh what? I have selectable eq and full eq kill and I use tpro2…

Any other EQ setting that Classic doesn’t kill the selected EQ band when kill is engaged. It’s equivalent to turning it down to -100%, but it’s not a full kill.

Thats one of the major reasons that im getting a DDM4000 for. >.> Damn traktor needs to implement complete custom eqs where you can set cutoffs and DB ranges

Ohhh. I read what you wrote wrong, my b. I never use eq kill so I never noticed. I use the 4 band eq right now but I’m thinking of switching back. 4 eq without native mixer control is a hassle. I toyed around with a frequency mix mapping I did on my lpd8 but the music I dj just doesn’t lend itself to long blends and that type of mixing style. Sorry to get off topic, haha.

Hi guy’s

I still have not upgraded to traktor pro 2 yet. Thought I’d wait a while and see what glitches it had before some of the updates.there seem to be a few, my system is really stable at the mo. why fix what’s not broken :slight_smile:

my question is

was it worth upgrading so soon or in hind sight would you have waited a while? and still be waiting knowing what you know about the glitches now?

did not want to start a whole new thread on this. thought it was a good section to ask in. thanks in advance.

cheers guy’s

The only feature I love about TP2 is the waveform zoom.
I can get extremely accurate beatgrids and cue points on the fly.

The beatgridding definetly has become worse, which is my biggest complaint about 2.0 so far. With Drum and Bass tunes, it’s almost always wrong at detecting the speed, and with positioning the grid, it very often is exactly half a beat off.

Lool people and using auto grids…

Why should I have to go though thousands of songs to set grigs and spend hours in prep work gridding new songs when 98% of the time they were perfect using autogrid in Traktor Pro? In T2 you need to drastically fix everything, and Im not talking about stuff being a tiny bit off and just sliding the grid.

Traktor 2 is supposed to be the next generation, auto gridding should have gotten BETTER. If anything they should just revert back to the old TSP algorithm…

What exactly is funny about that, wiseguy?

I don’t use what traktor decides is the grid. But as the autogridding process automatically happens when importing tunes, why not use it as a starting point? Most people do that, and if you don’t, you’re the one to be laughed at.

Trouble is that it is quite a difference between nudging it a little from left to right and fine tuning as opposed to completely starting over with manual gridding. Hugely less time efficient.

In that case maybe i should upgrade before i purchase more music and have to re-beatgrid those aswell.

Seen a few people go back to tpro 1. But i guess the majority of people are happy.

shitty autogridding or not I would still not go back to T1, it’s worth the minor inconvenience and still not as bad at gridding as Traktor S4

I find in all of my techno, house and other music of that style the gridding to be tons better that T1 ever was. I do get that little transient sometimes, but the gridding is still usually spot on.

That would be awesome for internal mixing.
It should even have a Export/Import feature to EQ/Filter Settings like the Export in Controller Manager

It’s happening with my psytrance songs too… About 10% of them are half a beat off.

I use to do the TAPping then slide a few clicks left on pre cueing to fix that, works well on the fly but it’s pretty annoying indeed.

But nothing that would keep me away from TP2 :open_mouth:
