Is there a Traktor equivalent of “DJAM Mode” in Serato?
In case anyone doesn’t know, “DJAM Mode” is basically a quick macro or value you input into the BPM field to make the title and artist of a track disappear from the deck display (an anti-trainspotter feature basically). One of those easter egg features along with “Pong Mode” in Serato lol.
Does anything like that exist for Traktor?
Just select what you want to see in deck preferences. You decide what you want to see and where in the 9 boxes.

Yeah I’ve been doing that, sort of a pain in the ass lol, was hoping there was maybe a quick macro I could hit to toggle it On/Off
No. Traktor is for real men who go to work. No time for silly games and gimmicks.
word.
I don’t remember without fiddling with it, and i’m at work, but couldn’t you create 2 different layouts, one with it set up to show the tracks how you wanted it, and another layout setup like pilmat suggested, then just midi map a key to swap between them? could be on two different function pages, but don’t remember.
I heard Serato is developing Outlook and Thunderbird plugins so you can check your email via the playlist window. They really know how to speak out to the DJ.
are we on the serato forums?
yup…starting to look like it.
If it’s one thing I’ve learned on these forums, saying Serato or “Mac or PC” will get you practically no results for your original inquiry as it will get derailed by non-relevant input before you get to anything useful lol.
So from what I gather, no. And if I needed to, I’d need to midi map a display swap macro which would alternate between preferences?.
No matter how hard you try to protect your playlist, it just isn’t going to work.
Yeah, I’m aware of such tools lol, my main reasoning is that I’m tired of people looking over my shoulder constantly, I figure with less to look at, they’d scamper off.
Oi, how I miss the days of just burning wav to CD and slapping them in my CDJ’s lol.
but even then they’d be over your shoulder waiting for the disc to pop out…
I honestly don’t see the issue with letting someone know the name of a track. Honestly I let people know if I found a banger, and I’d hope they do the same. Unless it’s some unreleased business that is special that you own it, it’s part of the “old school” mindset IMO that I really don’t like.
Shazam doesn’t work on most house/techno tracks. Especially if you keep you playlist packed with new tracks.
And for the love of god people don’t start this S vs T bullsh*t.
my sentiments exactly…
to the O.P, just place you laptop somewhere in the booth where only you can see it… ie under the bench some place
…or use serato 
with a mac…
AKAIK Deck Details are not mappable to layouts so they either show or not, its not switchable.
The other way is to map : Prefs > View > Deck Size (Inc)
That will be a toggle button that minimises the decks so that the details dont show. But you lose the waveform.
BTW- wtf is Pong Mode ???
Just looked it up. If you press CTRL+SHFT while clicking set-up you can play pong. You use the TTs as the control paddles!!
For a screen shot:
Phil.
OMG thats nuts… im lost for words. When does a Serato DJ play pong..?
Does this work on Itch..? Ill have a go later…
Is that like an Easter Egg or summing?
