TP2 "sync" question re: tempo faders
TP2 "sync" question re: tempo faders Posted on: 03.05.2012 by Darlene Strohbeck I haven't been using TP2 very long but have noticed the few times I've played out that when I disengage "sync" on one of the decks, the tempo fader snaps back to the original. I've burned so many hours fiddling with the options but haven't found a solution. Is there any way to change this? I'd love to use the "sync" to just tempo-match some tracks that can't be beatgridded properly. It would also be great to be able to disengage a track to gradually speed up or slow down without the audience realizing. Having it "snap" back has caused some sudden tempo changes for me or I've had to move the tempo fader manually, which would be fine if not for the fact that the Kontrol S2 faders are so small it's difficult to get it perfect. | |

| Eleonor Janski 08.06.2012 | Or you can learn how to beat match manually and then you won't need to sync Also check if you have beat sync or tempo sync as that might cause the problem for snap back |
| Darlene Strohbeck 07.06.2012 | I got it to behave the way I want in "auto" mode where the "master" alternates according to what's playing on a 2-deck setup. |
| Darlene Strohbeck 07.06.2012 | Seems like with TP2 2.5 update, you can't disengage the "master" from the metronome? How can you set it so that when you're doing two deck mixing, whatever track you mix in, automatically becomes the "master" one you turn the opposite deck off? Seem like I have to physically grab the mouse and click on "master" in the appropriate transport section, otherwise the deck will just sync with the clock. This is annoying if you're mixing different genres because you either have to click on "master" everytime you finish a mix, or you have to set the clock to whatever BPM of the current track you're playing... |

| Darlene Strohbeck 04.05.2012 | Thanks guys I tried all those. I don't want to set the "master" in the metronome because it seems like it'll always be set to the same BPM in the "master" section which would be fine if not for the fact that I have to play a lot of different tunes sometimes. Maybe I didn't explain myself properly. When I have deck A playing already, and I have a track on deck B that can't be beatgridded properly (maybe because it's a live drummer), but I still want to match the tempo, previously in TP1 I would have just engaged "sync" on deck B and disengaged it right after and pitch fader would have stayed at the right tempo. Now with TP2 it seems like once I "disengage" the sync in deck B (keeping in mind that I need to do this in order to manually beatmatch with the jog wheel), the pitch just seems to snap back to whatever it was manually set at before I "synced" it. |

| Deeann Cheron 03.05.2012 | set your tempo faders to relative mode. |
| Catharine Okamura 03.05.2012 | It all depends which track is the "master", ie whichever track the other one is tempo matched to, in conventional tutorial terms, it would be the one that is already playing, or "track A". It will have the word "master" highlighted. Neither should snap back as long as they are synced to each other, even if you disengage while its already playing. The only reason it might not is if it is not in auto mode. In the top left corner of the screen under the Traktor Pro logo are the controls for the global panels at top of the screen. If you click on the graphic of a metronome you get the tempo controls, make sure both the words "master" and "auto" are highlighted and you should be good to go. Apologies if all of this is blindingly obvious and you have done it already, but this is where my reasoning leads me. |
| Coralie Pavlakos 03.05.2012 | I cannot exactly remember how to do it, but there is a way to un-sync A from B, but I believe there can only be one song playing at a time for it to not snap back to where it was. That probably didn't make sense, hopefully this will: Track A is playing (near the end of the song) Bring Track B in (synced), properly transition to only Track B. Stop Track A (so only Track B is playing) Hit the sync button on Track B and the temp should stay at the synced tempo, but now you should be able to use the +/- buttons to adjust it. I'm not sure if this is what you were asking about... best of luck. =] |
