Help with traktor issues.

So I have a few questions about traktor…

1)Traktor (legal 1.2.6 windows 7 64) comes up with some error when I open it to the effect of “traktor cannot use (find?) directory C:\customer...blah blah blah directory reset to default value” but the default path is the same. and then my track collection is gone. Anyone have a fix for this issue.

  1. Loops. When I drop in a loop using the little numbers for the length of the loop it always seems to come in about 1/2 beat off of what I put it in for. I am using “snap” mode if that helps.

  2. more loops. Is there a way to drop loops and cuepoints in a “quantized” way as my timing isn’t quite the best.

thanks in advance all

are u gridding your tracks?

3

yes I grid my tracks

If snap is on, it should drop your loop/cue on the grid line only. If your grid is good, it should be in sync.

If you want it at a point between grid lines then you wouldn’t use snap.

Just playing cues, you can use quantize, but you are limited to slower rhythms and cannot adjust the quantize

5

activate quant and grid. if your latency is high (hence they are always late) press the button before the beat

6

that’s the thing, snap is on and it drops inbetween the “lines” my computer is pretty high tech (i5 760 4gb ram dx 11 video card), is there something like a setting I should change in the preferences to fix this.

7

check your audio settings in traktor what is the latency set at?

8

10.0ms (all the way to the left)

Increase it to 20 and see if that help.
