Re recording over an existing mix to fix a stuff up

DJ Software & Apps Traktor
1

Hi all,

I use Traktor 4 and have been having issues with calibration. Myself and a mate just knocked out a 6hr mix and had minor distortion on 1 deck throughout but then on my 3rd technics 1210 on the 3rd last track of the mix it whacked/wigged out and went all weird. All squggly noises and ruined the mix unfortunately.

My question is - How do i go to this part of the mix ie 5hrs45mins in and re record that same track on a deck that works fine and then mix back out using the existing 6hr mix? Is it possible? Essentially i want to replace that track with the same track and then mix out into the original existing mix so the stuff up isnt part of the 6hr mix?

Thanks

Ed

The easiest path is probably just record that part of the mix separately and splice it on the original with any audio editor. Audacity is a good free option.

OK. Thanks for the response.

So re record the last 3 tracks as a seperate mix and then mix/slice it in using audacity? Will audacity bring it in on time/in beat?

Thanks again

Ed

To make editing as simple as possible you’d want to record at the same bpm as the original mix. You can load the mix (or cut a”just the part you are replacing) in traktor to find the bpm at the part you want to splice. It doesn’t have to be perfect, just close enough. It’s more important that you splice it on beat so there aren’t any odd audio glitches

That or grab ableton’s trial and use that to warp the new recording to match
