Traktor pro 2 beat grids how to#

I'm sure another traktor newbie has asked that one also! any links you can provide much appreciated.also anythign on audio qaulity loss via this method would be appreciated as i amy not go there if so. didnt realise that could be done.will dig around for info on that. Interesting you can export a warped track from ableton to traktor also. After digesting your wisdom, I'm thinking best thing to do is warp in ableton and detect bpm eg 130 or whatever.and then just check that is the bpm detected in traktor - if so - align first beatgrid and make sure it doesnt stray.I'm thinking it will stray though after some breakdowns so re one of your other points and dropping a 2nd Beatgrid/marker do I just create a 2nd cue point, turn it to a Grid and thats it? i.e does it lock everything 'to the left' like ableton does? If it does then super, but for some reason I thought you could only drop one Beatgrid and everything 'to the right' was then at the mercy of that Beatgrid -d'ohh! :-) Really appreciate the help here - btw I did actually review the other posts on this topic (so not that lazy :-)) but none really explained this logically - for me anywiz.so appreciate you both taking the time to assist the 'traktor newbie'. This works OK most of the time, but still can get a little off at the points where the grid is least accurate. This isn't an entirely accurate way and you'll still have some drift, but if you get the BPM down to a pretty precise measure where there isn't MUCH drift, then if you put down several beatgrid markers (Traktor 3 allows up to 6, not sure about Pro) you can sync them at those points and it'll work. There's some complications here with losing quality on the file, however. Thus, I warp all my tracks that have unsteady tempos in Ableton and then export them so I can use them in Traktor. I like Traktor's UI much more than Ableton's and the program works better for me. Warp in Ableton, export and use in Traktor. Without a beatgrid you can still set an effective loop to transition in and out with. I like to have all my cues set up and my beatgrids perfect, but for some songs with defined beats this is possible. No beatgrid! I hate this option, but it does work in some situations. Now, there are a few ways to handle an unsteady tempo: If the song has a steady tempo and your first marker is right, there shouldn't be any drift.

Either that or your first beatgrid marker isn't EXACTLY on beat and should be shifted a bit. Usually that drift means that song is at an unsteady tempo.

That means it is beating exactly on beat for the entire song. Well see, one of the major edges that Ableton has over Traktor is that in Traktor, one can usually only effectively beatgrid (the way you would in ableton) a track with a steady tempo.

Traktor pro 2 beat grids how to#

I've been using ableton for a couple years but have recently decided to explore Traktor Pro in parallel.all goin ok with the exploration except for some reason I cannot get my head around setting up and saving beatgrids properly! lack of info on NI site appalling i have to say also :-(.ДЄnywiz, my problem is that although I'm fine with the beatgrid concept/theory/setting the first grid/setting correct/original bpm etc - for some reason most of my tracks seem to 'drift' away from the grid mid way through the track (all techno tunes downloaded from Beatport btw - so shouldnt be any drift in the wavs/mp3s.).when I go through the track like Ean shows in his tutorial and move the grids left or right to fix the 'drift' all looks good on the screen but then I return to the beginning and then thats all wrong and the beatgrids have drifted !! Iaghhh its driving me nuts :-) in ableton once you drop the warpmarker everything 'to the left' obviously stays locked behind it.can you do this in Traktor? i.e lock a beatgrid - then drop a second and lock that? If not advice badly needed on how to tighten the grids.any help much appreciated.
