| Tenesha Abasolo 27.02.2013 | which aggregator did you use? was it for 10.8 or 10.7 or older? |
| Malcom Koelzer 30.11.2012 | all done sir....i tuned traktor a lot yesterday.....when its cleaned so much its much easier...things that need to be concerned by Traktor are the wave form display...if they can make much clear than now it will be easy to see the flows..... |
| Addie Engbrecht 30.11.2012 | 2 things....number 1 is that you can plug in the a soundcard into a USB port regardless of what it was used for before. 2nd thing is that if you dnt want traktor to set the white 1 cue marker go into preferences then file management the un-select store beatmarker as hotcue |
| Malcom Koelzer 30.11.2012 | yes sir..all done.... |
| Irwin Ney 30.11.2012 | To set the cue point to a point where there is no beat marker you need to turn off the Snap or S button. To start to play a track (with sync on) to a point different from the first track beat grid, you need to turn off the Quantize button. Was that helpful? |
| Malcom Koelzer 01.12.2012 | i disable it when loading a track....but after that i cant set the cue point where i want to set... however in Traktor ..there are too much bulky things... |
| Janyce Henningson 30.11.2012 | The white marker is the grid marker.. |
| Malcom Koelzer 30.11.2012 | just need to know some thing related to Traktor here cant i disable that white marker coming in traktor automatically...?...its always appear on the start of the beat...i dim the beat grid too but its still there..?what is it...?......white bar that have a arrow head top of it |

| Addie Engbrecht 29.11.2012 | 900's should have the latest firmware. Traktor should be 2.5 or higher. You can combine the 900's into one aggregate device and not need to use up another USB port for a soundcard. Have back up plans just in case (IE bring a soundcard and USB hub, or USB stick w/ music, or install Recordbox on ur laptop and have a ethernet cord just in case) |

| Nana Mohs 29.11.2012 | 1) Plug your sound card straight into your computer, not a hub. 2) Dunno, but maybe burn a few cds/fill up a usb stick to be sure? Definitely get there very early if you are planning on figuring out how to set up new hardware to give yourself time to work out the kinks. |
