How to scratch in on Traktor?

How do i scratch in on Traktor? Like when im readying up the next song scratch abit and drop it on the beat and wallah its beat matched with the other song? Ive seen it done on Serato with Cdj’s but im on Traktor with a controller, i know you can do it on Virtual DJ But for some reason when a tracks playing in Traktor and you try to scratch that song it just either slows it down or speeds it up depending on which way you turned it, how do i change this so i can scratch in and manually beat match it ??

Pretty sure it depends on your controller and the Traktor mapping for your controller. What you’re doing is nudging the song via your controller. So what controller are you using and what mapping?

sounds like you have your jogwheels set to “pitch bend”.

heres’s an answer for you: http://www.native-instruments.com/forum/threads/jog-wheel-toggle.135413/

I have a hercules rmx and a basic mapping function.

Do you know how i would change it to scratch mode rather that pitch bend? Seems about right. i have read the link you posted but is only instructions for S4. Would i change this under the controller mappings?

Pressing on the top of the platter should issue the command “jog touch on”. The turning of the jogwheel is simply the command “jog turn”. This is all done in the controller manager inside Traktor. You can also check other mappings to see how they have everything mapped.

Yeah i understand that, just when i try to scratch while the song is playing it just activates pitch bend, how do i do it so it scratches while song is playing?

How exactly do you have it mapped? The jog turn should be a CC and the touch should be a key for most controllers.

I just assigned the jog wheels as jog turn in the mapping controller, thats all. I dont know how its assigned to pitch bend :confused:

You need to map jog touch on as well.

I have done that, everything the same!??

Can you show exactly what you have mapped? Either by screenshot, tsi or writing it out completely in terms of jog wheels?

This is the mapping i have for jog turn, same for deck b

And this is a screen shot of jog turn on deck b, exactly the same for deck a

That is too small to make any comments on.

Basically I havent mapped my jog wheels to pitch bend, so why is it doing this? Thanks

You have keylock on for at least one deck.. I guarantee you that is at least half of the problem. I can’t say about the mapping because I can’t see it.. But turntablist scratching and keylock do not exist in the same space.

That’s not the issue, scratching works with or without keylock. The issue is that the touch on command might be wrongly mapped, but I’m unable to determine that from the screenshot.

cough The hercules RMX does not have touch sensitive jogs whatsoever, you have the option of scratch function if I remember right by pressing and holding the big scratch button and THEN using the jogs :roll_eyes:

That’s it! That’s why it doesn’t work. I didn’t know that, I’m not familliar with hercules gear.
