Traktor in HID mode (CDJ 900)
Posted on: 03.07.2013 by Marcelina Hanaway
Yesterday I tried hooking my 900s up to Traktor in HID mode. Got everything to function properly. However, I noticed that the jog wheels acted quite different. When trying to beatmatch, the platter did not have the same sensitivity as it would have without the software. I ended up having to see watch the bpm on my screen to make sure I was in tempo. Pretty uncomfortable, and I gave up shortly after. Is this normal for CDJs while using Traktor?

Make sure your beat loop section is not set as triplets (right hand side of the buttons) because in this case the 8 beat loop button supposed to trigger a 3/4 loop, but since Traktor has not such division the CDJ will do nothing, so you have to select either the default loop division where the 8 button will set a 8-beat loop or the left hand section where the 8 button will set a 1/2 beat loop.

I've attached a screenshot. As you can see, in Deck B even though both tracks are beatmatched, the yellow line is extended out instead of being pretty much non-existent. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks!

Thanks for the response, makar. Any idea where I can do this? I'm very new to Traktor. Just wanted to try it out.

When pitchbending or scratching? Traktor has pitchbending sensitivity setting....

Please ignore me. Figured everything out.

Never found a solution to the aforementioned concern, but moving right along. Noticed today that the yellow pitch bar next to the Sync and Master buttons is acting strange. It's either very long toward the right or toward the left. Anyone know how to fix this so that it stays in the middle when beatmatched? I don't need it, but it's driving me crazy. Thanks!

Have you tried using the Beat Select button yet while connected to Traktor? It might be a toggle modifier, or it might be a hold type.

Think I figured this out. Anyone know how I can do a quick 8-beat loop on the CDJ 900 in Traktor? When I do press the 8-loop button, it gives me about a 2-beat loop instead.

What is your latency in the Traktor settings, and what audio card are you using?
