Traktor help…
I’m running Traktor 2.6.1 The problem I am having is that when playing a track with the sync on, the track skips/jumps a little and throws off the beat when mixing. What could be causing this? Which setting do I need to change? It’s driving me nuts… please help
Have a look at latency, don’t have it too low. Close all other programs when running traktor.
When this happens does the CPU bar at the top fill?
Havent looked at the cpu bar yet… I’ll give that a try. Thanks
cpu bar is low and is not moving much when the track jumps. I adjusted the latency… still does it. I’m also using creative asio drivers.
Is it jumping mid playing? or just when you set the track going?
try turning Q(uant) and S(nap) off at the top. The S and Q buttons
It’s jumping mid playing.
Is this with a controller plugged in? I am struggling to think what it may be
Does this happen with all tracks or the ones with a “weird” drum pattern (e.g. 2-step)?
No controller
Could be the beat grid is off. Traktor doesn’t always get it right so you may need to go in there and fix it manually. Perfecting Traktor Beatgrids: Ean's Method - DJ TechTools
Most tracks… even worst with a “weird” drum pattern
Yeah, sounds like you need to take some time to manually set your beat grids.
its a grid that’s off and/or has random beatmarkers placed (Traktor Pro used to do this a lot), or even a loop that you are playing that isn’t right on. You can stop it from doing this by changing the type of Sync from Beatsync to temposync in the preferences, or you could fix the grid/loop/ or whatever it is that’s causing it to throw things off.
