How to Stop Computer Dimming in Traktor

Hi,
Was wondering if anyone knows how to stop my computer from dimming after about a min or so of not touching it in Traktor and to basically give me full brightness constantly in Traktor. I hate constantly just having to tap the mouse pad to stop it dimming in the middle of a set or in the middle of a mix. I looked through my computer settings to see if I could do it but couldnt see anything. Just stuff on screensaver times. Running through a mac if it helps.
Cheers
M

Stop Dimming:

  • System Preferences > Energy Saver
  • Click on “Energy Saver”, then go under “Battery” tab first
  • Unselect the check box next to “Slightly dim the display when using this power source”
  • Unselect the checkbox next to “Automatically reduce brightness before display goes to sleep”
  • Repeat the same settings adjustments under the “Power Adapter” tab if desired

Stop Sleeping:

  • Move the top slider to ‘Never’.

Getting the answer quicker next time:

  • Google: Macbook stop dimming :wink:

You’re welcome

Download the free app called caffeine. You can set a predetermined time, or keep the computer/screen active indefinitely.

Brilliant app. Use it every single time I use Traktor.

Put another +1 on this one. I love this app. It sits in your menubar and it just takes a click to start/stop it.
