3. Traktor Pro 2 Mapping Cue Points List

I have the 2.7 version of Traktor Pro 2. I am running Mac OS X Yosemite Version 10.10 on my laptop. I went through about one hundred of my songs, setting cue points. When I reloaded a song that I had cued onto a deck again, the cue point had been deleted. So the cue points are not saved, and are lost as soon as the track leaves the deck.

1. Traktor Pro 2. The ability to jump between many cue points in a track is one advantage that digital DJing has over its analog counterpart. Traktor Pro 2 makes it easy to set cue points and jump between them during your mix. This video tutorial goes over how to save cue points as hot cues, change the type of cue point, and re-map hot cues.
2. May 21, 2019  Hi, can the Traktor S4 MK3 be mapped to Rekordbox DJ? The only problem I’m having with Traktor Pro 3 is that I’m unable to prepare tracks on the go. I had a Pioneer controller previously and I liked the fact that I could prepare cue points on my phone via the app. If you map a controller to another piece of software does it affect the mapping to the software the controller is designed to.
3. Still in Traktor, select the files in your Traktor collection, right-click, and select “Analyze (Async)”: In the context menu that opens, select “Special”, then make sure “BPM” and “Set BeatGrid” are checked. This ensures the Mixed In Key cue points will line up with the Traktor Beat Grid.
4. The newest controller mappings for Traktor Pro 2.

• Hey guys, this could possibly be the stupidest question asked but if I don’t ask it ill never know:

  In the Traktor iOS app I noticed that I could set cue points beyond 4 and up to 8. But since I have an S2 I can only access hot cues 1 to 4. I can see my hot cues 5 to 8 in Traktor on my Mac but can’t hit them when I’m playing a track.

  Is there a way that I can access hot cues 5 to 8 from my S2 by way of a mapping? Or alternatively is there a keyboard shortcut that allows me to hit them?

  Thanks guys.

  You can map hotcues 5 – 8 by adding a modifier which acts like a shift key, then use 1:5, 2:6, etc. If you’re not sure how to do it, open your S2 mapping and look at how hotcues 1-4 are mapped, then just apply the same/similar settings for the additional hotcues.

  Or select add in, track deck –> cue –> map hotcue, then select hotcue type 1-8, deck target, and choose your modifier. Probably a button you don’t use much. You can decide to make it a toggle switch or hold switch.

  I would also, for simplicity, recommend getting an X1. This will grant you 1-8, along with giving you additional control over FX and transport for deck C and D should you choose. I’ve seen used models for <$100.

  Good luck.

  Saved me from asking it.

  And a perfect answer.

  Following on, is there a way to use an apc20 to trigger them?

  Definitely @ Candyman. Just map it as generic MIDI. You can pretty much map anything to anything that is MIDI. I use the 9 faders on my MID keyboard to control the EQs and volume faders in Traktor. If I wanted, I could even map keys to fire off hotcues or chained effects. It all depends on how you want to use it.

  Thanks, quite new to traktor so might have to have a play and see what I can do, might have to hit you up for some advice if I get stuck!

  I learned to map from the Traktor Bible. It’s an indispensable resource for getting the most out of Traktor. Well worth the price. Rainer takes you through a logical series of exercises explaining everything even better than the Native Instruments Traktor Manual does. PM if you like, I’ll help if I can.

  I also got the book and learned alot about mapping from their as well. Also checked out alot of the mapping videos on youtube…specifically from Dj Shiftee and Endo

  Sure. Either you could get creative with your mapping, or you can flip the X1 into MIDI mode by holding shift and hotcue, at the same time. It’s like an entire extra page of controls. You could map it to do whatever you want it to. I used to use the X1 to do EVERYTHING. I’d convert to MIDI mode and my X1 became my mixer with EQs, kill switches, filter knobs with on/off, volume-faders, and a cross-fader. Get creative!

Learn how to map Triple-Macro Hotkeys with Traktor. In this video Native Instruments DJ Product Specialist and Dubspot Instructor DJ Endo takes you through the steps on how to customize your keyboard mapping and map multiple commands to a single key. Endo demonstrates this by creating a MIDI/HotKey command (map/Mapping Triple Micro HotKey) which allows you to “do three things in one action,” just by pushing a key! This enables you to jump to the first cue point, play and enable sync all with a single key press.

Here is a handy Trick you can do in Traktor Pro that will save you a lot of time mixing in your tracks. It is called a Cue / Play / Sync button. This command is called a “Triple Macro” and will perform 3 actions at the same time with one click of a button. Setting double and triple macros will increase your workflow dramatically since you are saving 2-3 steps with one click of a button.

The following trick is a one button solution to beatmatching and DJ mixing.

This command works best when you have correct beatgrids set for your tracks, with all of your beatgrid markers mapped to Cue Point slot 1 in Traktor Pro (in the Cue section).

Before I explain how to set this command, here is the reasoning behind why I use this magic button in my DJ sets.

Traktor Pro 2 Mapping Cue Points For Sale

When mixing with Vinyl or CDJs, before you can mix your next song in, you have to first find the first beat (Cue) or “the one” of your track. Then you have to play the track, and then adjust the tempo and nudge the track forwards and backwards and change the pitch (tempo) until both tracks are in phase (beats are synchronized) with each other, and then you have to keep the two tracks beatmatched (sync’d) manually until the mix is over. With todays technology, why not just take these 3-4 steps and make them into one step?

When setting this keyboard shortcut or midi command you can perform all three of these actions with one click of a button, and save all the time you would spend cuing the track up, playing the track and manually syncing the track, saving you minutes in each mix. This trick is great for any DJ who plays using MIDI controllers or Hotkeys to DJ in Traktor.

To program this command to a MIDI Note or Keyboard shortcut:

1) Open Traktor’s preferences
2) Go to the controller manager

3) Select the device “generic keyboard” or choose your MIDI device.

We are now going to make our three commands

PLAY

#include windows.h Sleep(number of milliseconds); Or if you want to pause your program while waiting for another program, use WaitForSingleObject. Share improve this answer follow. May 16, 2018  The function above will only run on Windows. When writing the sleep function, don’t forget to capitalize the S in Sleep. The parameter for the function is how long you want the program to sleep for in milliseconds. So, as shown above, I had entered 1000 which is the same as 1 second. If you wanted 5 seconds, you would put 5000 and so on. It's in milliseconds, but of course all a sleep function can do is guarantee a MINIMUM sleeping time. In case other processes gets scheduled to run, the sleeping process might have to wait slightly longer than the specified time interval. Mar 02, 2020  C language does not provide a sleep function of its own. However, the operating system's specific files like unistd.h for Linux and Windows.h for Windows provide this functionality. When we use the Linux or UNIX operating system, we need to include “unistd.h” header file in our program to use the sleep function. Sleep dev c++ windows.

1) Click on the “Add In” button
2) Select “Transport” / “Play Pause.”

3) Click on the “Learn” button
4) Push the button or key that you want to assign as your “Cue / Play / Sync” button. You should then see a MIDI note or keyboard letter appear in the box next to learn.
5) Select the deck you want to assign this to (I always choose “Device Target” so whatever deck is highlighted is the one I’ll be playing
6) Set your interaction mode to “Direct”
7) Change the “set to value” field to “1″ (1 this means ON where 0 means OFF). * note – You might have to change the interaction mode to “0″ and then back to “1″. Its a small bug in older versions of Traktor.*
8) The “Type of Controller” field will be “Button”

SYNC

1) Click on the “Add In” button
2) Select “Tempo” / “Sync”

3) Click on the “Learn” button
4) Push the button or key that you want to assign as your “Cue / Play / Sync” button. You should then see a MIDI note or keyboard letter appear in the box next to learn.
5) Change the Assignment to “Device Target”
6) Set your interaction mode to “Direct”
7) Change the “Set To Value” field to “1″. * note – You might have to change the interaction mode to “0″ and then back to “1″. Its a small bug in older versions of Traktor.*
8) The “Type of Controller” field will be “Button”

CUE

1) Click on the “Add In” button
2) Select “Cue / Loops”
3) Click on “Select / Set + Store Hotcue”

4) Click on the “Learn” button
5) Push the button or key that you want to assign as your “Cue / Play / Sync” button. You should then see a MIDI note or keyboard letter appear in the box next to Learn.
7) Change the Assignment to “Device Target”
8) Set your interaction mode to “Hold”
9) Set your “Set To Value” field to “Hotcue 1″

You will notice that all three of the commands you just programmed will be highlighted. This means that the same button is doing three separate things at once.

Once you are done programming, press play a track in Deck A, then load a track into Deck B
Click on the deck header in Deck B so the deck is highlighted
Click on your “Magic Button” (whatever button you chose) and you will be in the mix!
You will notice that the PLAY button is ON, the SYNC button is ON, and the track jumps to CUE POINT 1 when you press the button.

Usually when I’m DJing with strictly controllers, I will just leave sync on the whole set, and click my “Magic Button” on “the one” for each mix. Since all my load markers are mapped to cue point 1 and all my Beatgrids are done perfectly I know that when I hit the “Magic Button” all of my beatmatching is done and my mix will be phrased correctly (on the 1), so I can now focus on more creative things such as beatjumps, loops and effects.

If you do not know how to do beatgrids correctly, here is a video I did on how to do perfect beatgrids.

Here is an older video that Richie Hawtin did on how to set Double Macros
