Traktor 2: Tracks are jumping around
Posted on: 05.06.2011 by Brigida Sasseville
I've been trying to build the confidence to use Traktor 2 in my weekly sets, and began to go through today and update playlists and what not within the software. Upon working with some mixes, I began to notice that loaded tracks were randomly jumping/stuttering in small increments without trigger. I checked my latency, turned off wi-fi and bluetooth, no FX were toggled....it's baffling. Is this a known issue? Are there fixes or triggers to the problem?

i am having the same issue, and have only started to experience this in the newest version of TP2 and TSP2. Seems like a defect but I can't find any info on it.

also is key lock on? and what settings have you got for that, might be cos it's trying to hold key that it's more noticeable?

This is definitely a matter of you not knowing how the sync feature works.

Try this. Play deck A. Then play deck B. Hit sync on deck B (while it is being cued), and then disengage sync all WHILE IT IS PLAYING. At that point the BPM's will match exactly, but you won't be constrained to the grid in any way. Also turn off quantize and snap modes.

Check both syncing to deck and master clock. Also try mixing without your controller and see if this issue still appears.

you definitely checked your grids? only happening with Beat sync is a pretty big hint that your tracks are gridded incorrectly.

Does it do it when keylock is off? How pitched up/down are the tracks?

IMO keylock is not worth using ever cause i can notice those little glitches as it tries to correct the pitch. Nothing drastic, but just a little noticeable though

Much better to just play it speeded up / down imo if that's the problem

These are all really great (yet Noobish, embarrassingly) questions -

Yes, the tracks are beatgrid. Why would the track jump though while playing live, I never experienced this in Traktor S4.

Yes, the Keylock is on. I did notice that in using TempoSync, I am not seeing the problem. The major issue is I never had this problem in Traktor S4, hence my confusion. I keep wanting to use Traktor 2 in live sets but fear things like this happening!

Thanks for the help!

I too use beat sync, and find that is jumps around every now and again, but in time.

Yes, the track was playing and another was playing on deck two. Synch was on and I am using beat sync. Does that help?

Was the track playing? Was there a track playing in the other deck? Was sync on? Which sync do you have set, beat sync or phase sync?
