hey dvls

im gonna remove all the mapping that i have done to all track and start fresh

are you able/have time/can be bothered to post up a video for beat grid mapping in pro?

i understand that one set of buttons moves the grid and one changes the tempo of the track but im still not getting things to match

thanks

62

Ean has a video up already, but if it doesn’t help you I’ll see what I can do, alright?

63

ean has a video for pro?

i know that there is a short walkthrough of a few of the features which touches on the grid mapping but it looked like a pretty easy track to do -

im so sorry to be a pain in the arse with this :open_mouth:

64

can you load the track on the net?

The grids are done exactly the same in TPro and T3. Make sure there are no grid markers (delete the auto-cue marker if it’s there), set your own grid marker, and grid exactly the same way you grid in T3. Two buttons to move the grid, two buttons to change the bpm, which stretches or shrinks the grid.

65

hey man

i removed the grid markers and just saw your post

attach 1 - at first the track is with a silence at the start - i set a load marker to test it it will load to the hotkey 1 - when i did this the small waveform appears at the start of the track

attach 2 - i remove the track from the deck and put it in again - no small waveform but blue triangle - press play and then cue and the cue goes the blue triangle - lock the grid and then…

attach 3 - removed the track from the deck - put it back in and the same - blue triangle still there and pressing cue will cue to the triangle and not the load marker

i know i have started to reset the beat grid on this track yet cos i wanted to test it out - but it does this with a beat grid mapped or not

attach 2

attach 3

Press the store button to store the cue, then press where it currently says load in the picture and select grid.

This stores a cue point and turns it into a grid marker.

hi

i ve tried doing this - this blue triangle keeps reappearing

thanks

70

like this

71

and again as a grid marker - locked etc etc

stored it - locked it - took the track off the deck and put it back in again

before and after

does nt matter what i do the triangle always comes back in every song

72

can you provide a screen shot of the Cue section of the advanced panel?

73

sure

here you go

i wrote to ni tech support today though - open traktor, loaded a track - pressed play and it would nt play

anyways …

74

for the not playing, what sound card do you have selected?

75

at the moment im propped up in bed .. sick .. so im just using the mac book sound card

but when i say not playing i mean the play button would nt hold or trigger anything - it was totally frozen

i ve got the audio configurations right in preferences

76

I know I’ve had problems with using internal sound cards and traktor not playing.

77

ok

but i have had my laptop hooked up to NI audio kontrol before that and the other problems have been occurring

what are your thoughts on the blue triangle at the start of tracks and also that little piece of waveform randomly appearing? has to be a bug huh?

like i said - i wrote to tech support today asking for new download or money back

78

I really have no idea why it’s dropping the track there. I’d try clicking on the cue, hit store and then hit delete. Unload the track and then reload it.

79

done it man

tried everything - blue triangle keeps coming back - not just this track but all tracks

80

damn. I really got no idea, especially without seeing it. The only thing I can think of is to see if, somehow, it’s the data on the id3 tag. It’s not there in T3?
