One thing I really liked with the Traktor Pro S4 software was that the beat grids didn’t require a cue point. That seems to have changed again with TP2. Each time I beat grid a track TP2 stores a cue point in the first hot cue spot.
Is there a setting that I am missing? I don’t want to waste one of the 8 hot cues on beat grids. The solution for me now is to store it in hot cues 5-8 so I can still set 1-4 on the fly, but ideally I don’t want to waste any hot cues on the grid. Is there anything I can do about it?
I would like to tell you to go f*ck yourself, but I wont since people here are usually very helpful. Will need to have a look again. Couldn’t find it last time.
I gave some advice, but I don’t have the Traktor manual at work. Plus I get really bored at work sometimes which can lead to over zealous flaming from time to time.
What if he couldn’t read? What if he was at work and just wanted a quick answer so he could get it done at home right away rather than wasting precious play time on reading? I don’t see why its such a problem to ask, if you don’t want to help don’t say anything… Works both ways.
Actually, that was exactly the case. I jumped in here quickly from my iPhone to ask because I really did not find the setting when I had a look around. If people here weren’t asking things, we wouldn’t have a lot of posts on the forum. This one was simple, but I overlooked it somehow. Some people ask about beatmatching, how to beat grid tracks or anything else related to Traktor. The answer can almost always be “RTFM” but I find it highly inappropriate and not very friendly.
RTFM can often be appropriate. I’m not saying always, and to be fair in this case it was marginal, but if someone asks a question that is full explained in the manual they really should know the answer. I’ve answered plenty of simple questions here in the last few months, but now and then RTFM justified.
You’ll notice it wasn’t me that said it, but I’m not outright condemning its use.
While I don’t disagree with RTFM.. as I have to deal with it on a daily basis, as I work in technology. Honestly, it can be overlooked or someone skimmed or it may be in the section you’re not reading. Sometimes its just quicker to ask. Like he said, asked from his phone so when he’s home he has the instant response to make it happen. Reading the manual at a later point will for sure broaden his knowledge of the product and technology. It just never hurts to ask, and surely no one should be punished for asking. No question(s) is/are stupid…?
I’m also not stating he’s right or wrong, but I’m arguing both sides of it. I think it was fair enough to ask due to the nature of a forum, its left to you the user to reply or not. No one forced anyone to reply and thats what I was bothered by.
Will need to have a look again. Couldn’t find it last time.
