Hi all my name is DJ Nicki, i’m an old school dj and been using Traktor since 2012 along with Krontrol S2 and also a numark 4trk. my question is: what setting do you use for manual mixing - beatsync or temposync and what works better for you?
I started djing in the 70’s on ttables and switch to cd’s in the late 90’s. i only started using Traktor in 2012. i don’t always have the time to play around with it as i would like, there is lots to learn and still learning. all my mixing is done manually and i don’t use sync. i know these 2 settings affect the way traktor works so that’s the reason for my question. thank you all for your input.!!!

I normaly dont use nothing, as i don’t have the time to prepare my tracks (DJing ain’t my primary occupation) - so IF i NEED to use sync (too drunk, soundsystem is shit and so on) i use temposync. That way if my grid is not OK - which happens ocasionaly - i can make small changes without compromising my sync! But yeah you match by ear.
Actually he editted the text on 10-11-2015 adding the 70’s part, and you posted the old school theory on 10-09-2015. You are still wrong, but not stupid wrong lol.
Lol. He probably was like… Fuck these guys… I am oldschool as fuck… Theyre parents were dancing to my beats! Fer real tho. I have mad respect for those rocking decks pre-hip hop. They really are the pioneers. My dad hobbied for a while and showed me how to manually beatmatch on decks without pitch control.
