Traktor with timecode strange behaviour any suggestions please
Traktor with timecode strange behaviour any suggestions please Posted on: 12.11.2013 by Loni Melis Hi Guys I fairly new to timecode though not to djing.Just upgraded my traktor pro to traktor scratch pro. So here's the problem I'm playing time code on my cdj then on the x1 I then jump to a hotcue,the music plays from the hotcue but the timecode then does not work, the orange cd symbol next to the play button on the software switches off To get back timecode control back I have to switch the cd symbol next to the play button back on to turn it orange with the mouse! Is this normal or am I doing something wrong? I use loads of hotcues and don't want to have to keep switching the timecode back on with the mouse. I have also noticed that when I set a cue point on the cdj then go to the x1 to set it as a hotcue its a couple of beats off? Any ideas please? | |

| Brunilda Kora 13.11.2013 | Relative mode FTW. The only practical use for ABS mode is needle dropping - and this can be done using beat-jumps/hotcues in REL mode anyway. |
| Valery Ellick 13.11.2013 | The 'switching' thing you're talking about sounds like the absolute/relative mode. And yes it's normal....Once you use a hot cue, it automatically switches from absolute to relative mode. There's a traktor setting that can be set to switch back to absolute mode when you move the needle back to the lead-in of the timecode (as you're cueing up the next track). There are a lot of threads discussing the differences. Here's the first one I came across. http://community .djranking s.com/showthread.php?t=41650 |
