Traktor Question

Traktor Question

I installed traktor on my new laptop, and downloaded all my mappings etc but I have one big issue:

Whenever I set the loop size, it jumps like 8 bars.

For example, lets say I wanna loop in an incoming 4 bars, when i press the loop size increment button on my controller (denon mc3000) itll go from like selecting 1 bar to 32 bars, and if i press decrement button itll go down to like 1/4

On my old laptop it worked fine, if I press increase itll go from 1 bar to 2 bar, then 4 bars

The problem also applies when I am selecting tracks with my wheel, when i scroll down itll jump every 5 tracks

check the midi commands in your mappings. sounds like the midi mapping is broken.

Or, there could be multiple mappings installed for one controller.

Yea, check if you have more than one mapping active for the same controller. Check the “In-Port” of each mapping you have, only the one you want to use should have the controller selected, the others should be “none”.

The loop mappings are quite a bollocks to map yourself, I had a shit time setting mine up properly. Instead of ‘jump’ to loop, I set a cue, make the cue a loop, and activate it by pressing ‘loop on’ and hitting the cue, it’s the same thing essentially, but you do use up a cue, but with 8, it’s not going to be an issue for most. When you say it goes to 1/4, consider that the command may be on ‘direct’ and with the 1/4 being selected as the direct jump when you press the command, instead of it being ‘dec’, which decreases the length of the loop.
As for jumping 5 tracks, reduce the sensitivity of the encoder, checking that ‘encoder’ is selected and not knob or button. Play with that, that takes a while to perfect. Use a modifier to scroll faster if you need to do that.

What controller are you using btw?
