Sync with 3 or 4 decks traktor pro
Sync with 3 or 4 decks traktor pro Posted on: 25.09.2012 by Frederick Pangelinan Hey guys... I would like to know your opinion on what is the best option to sync when you want to do it with 3 or 4 decks at the same time:a) use the masterclok and the auto sync? b) choosing master on the current deck A, B, C or D that I would like to be in that time and the others would be slaves? c) other better alternative? I would like to read your experienced opinions... thanks guys cheers nsobs | |
| Frederick Pangelinan 26.09.2012 | Ok Stewe... good tip |
| Kellie Myrum 26.09.2012 | Samples will always sync to masterclock. You need to beatgrid them same as with tracks. |
| Era Roka 26.09.2012 | i always have 4 tracks running, when i forget to tunrn the masterclock on it isn't a problem but sure not an advantage |
| Kellie Myrum 26.09.2012 | All four decks does sync to masterclok and if your track's grids (same goes for sample loops) are right on beat trough whole track, then clock will do all the job. If your grids go off beat after some time in track it means your BPM isn't correct and you need to manually adjust it (search youtube tut). BPM is more important that grid, if tempo is right you can always use pitch banding when beat matching. |
| Frederick Pangelinan 26.09.2012 | Cause masterclock, even with auto OFF, synchs tempo and beat between tracks, with 2, 3 or 4 decks at the same time, right? |
| Kellie Myrum 26.09.2012 | It's BPM issue. Grid can't be set properly without right BPM in order to tracks. |
| Frederick Pangelinan 26.09.2012 | Thank you Jester! It was probably all about the beatgrids!! I also use the 4th deck for samples or acapellas... is a good decision! |
| Latoria Kavulich 26.09.2012 | also i would recommend using the master clock in this case. |
| Latoria Kavulich 26.09.2012 | yeah the grids have to be super tight to make this work |
| Frederick Pangelinan 26.09.2012 | Yes, this was my major doubt. It is one alternative I believe... A few days I was mixing 4 decks, only with masterclock and auto OFF, and in a moment 2 musics were not well synchronized! That was the reason of my post, maybe the masterclock wouldn't synch the phase of the musics mixing more than 2 decks. But probably it was a problem of the beatgrid.... |
| Latoria Kavulich 25.09.2012 | When i use more than 2 decks, most of the time the third deck i use as a "bridging track" so to speak and the 4th deck i'd use for either samples or routing for recording. |

| Frederick Pangelinan 25.09.2012 | ahahahah!!!! |
| Kellie Myrum 25.09.2012 | Third that it's quneowl but try look more deep into that 8 bit shit and you'll see cartoon Vader. |
| Frederick Pangelinan 25.09.2012 | eheheh... thanks guys that's right 8 bit owl!!! |
| Latoria Kavulich 25.09.2012 | The 8 bit owl speaks truth |
| Kellie Myrum 25.09.2012 | Off. |
| Frederick Pangelinan 25.09.2012 | With Auto ON or OFF? |
| Treasa Maffucci 25.09.2012 | +1 on masterclock. thats what i do |
| Era Roka 25.09.2012 | Masterclock |
