How do you change the view on the small waveform? Traktor

My pal uses traktor scratch pro like me, but unlike on the way mine is set up his has a different locater type on the small wave form window. Mine has just 2 yellow lines… one for where you are in the track and one for where your needle/CD position is. On his the yellow line that tells you your position in the track also has lines running horizontally that make a like a box as you move further into the track. It’s a lot clearer to see. I’m running the lastest version of 1. Can’t seem to find where I can edit these settings.

Any help appreciated.

Thanks

From that description I have no idea what that is, never seen it. Ask your mate for a screenshot or mock one up maybe so we can get a better idea?

I don’t have Scratch, but looking through the Traktor Bible my best guess is that might be preferences>time code setup>track start position. If not I’m sure you can find the info in the manual.

you talking about the minute markers?

bingo

if my pal was in this country then i’d happily do that for you. but i saw it on his system mid set so didnt wanna bother him while he was playin and he’s abroad so not possible. thought its gotta be cos he has a later version than me so assumed if i update my shit it will happen but it aint. ok, this aint 100% wot im talkin about but to begin with you see there’s yellow lines running on top and underneath the smaller wave form window? why aint my version got that shit?

turned these on… no difference

Why doesn’t my bike have tassles on the handles?

LOL

Just teasing!

That’s Traktor 1.2.x…

there is a setting for that little waveform (stoned and forget what its called)…to change its view.

Never use it tho..

im on 1.2.7. dont have em on my version. its got nothin to do with his has got pretty colours and mine aint. Its to do with visibility during a performance. Right… that pic i posted above, imagine the greyed out part (the bit that has been played) having the yellow lines im talking about on that bit. And the bit that aint greyed out (the bit that aint been played yet) that doesnt have the horizontal yellow lines. And the vertical red line that divides the greyed out part from the none greyed out part, imagine that being yellow. So now we have a box right?.. a yellow line on top, and one underneath, plus another one as the marker that moves along the part of the tune you’re on as it plays (the bit that divides the played and none-played part), then the grid marker number 1 make sup a complete box. Get me so far? Well that box is obviously gonna get bigger as the tune plays. well my pal has that shit and mine dont. I want it cos its easier to see.

All i can think is he’s on PC Im on mac, coule that be it? if not how do i make it like his?

edit: sorry been at a funeral all day… went drinking after with the family bit drunk

just a quick mock up but his looked like this as the tune played

What I was gonna say. Or that the beat grid markers are set to full maybe.

:confused: huh?

thats what it looked like. you see the bit I drew right?

the yellow lines are from a much older version of traktor 1.

it was removed in an update and no longer exists. i dont remember what it did but it was fairly useless.

i think it was for buffering maybe?

Really? looked like it was just boarders to what had been played. Makes sense if its on an older version, the dude im talkin about wasnt the kinda guy to keep up to date with his shit.

Still, bad move if you ask me, made it look nice and clear as to where you are in the track. 2 lines the same colour at a quick glance makes me think im at a different point in the track sometimes.

Oh well, cheers for the help anyway

you can turn off the minute markers. i have them off since i never use them anyway

:confused: are minute markers just a mark every minute of the track

yes, but only on that full track view on the bottom, not on the moving waveforms

Maybe the option to adjust the waveform (stripe) to record size (20min timecode) or track length? Don’t remember seeing a box around it tho.
