Traktor Pro 2 Beatgrid Tutorial

Traktor Bible Tutorial No. 2 explains how to beatgrid your tracks in Traktor Pro. The PDF document contains eight small tutorials with step-by-step instructions. The tutorials try to cover most of the standard situations and problems of beatgridding in a way that even “newbies” are able to understand what beatgridding is all about. TRAKTOR is great for honing your beatmatching skills, but you can also blend genres and bridge BPMs by letting TRAKTOR PRO 3 do some of the work. Hitting the Sync button quickly gets your tracks beat-matched, so you have plenty of time to experiment with your mix. To work around this, you’ll need to reset the beatgrid half way through the track. Move to the current point on the grid that’s closest to correct beat at the end of the tempo change. Add a grid marker. Use the MOVE GRID FWD to align the marker with the down beat after the tempo change, using the metronome to check it’s in sync.

Features and Highlights

STAY IN SYNC

The software is great for honing your beatmatching skills, but you can also blend genres and bridge BPMs by letting the program do some of the work. Hitting the Sync button quickly gets your tracks beat-matched, so you have plenty of time to experiment with your mix.

REMIX WITH LOOPS, HOTCUES, AND BEATJUMPS

For those who really want to put their stamp on a set, the industry’s most reliable and seamless loop, Hotcue, and beatjump tools let you chop and re-edit tracks however you like. Unless you want to cut things up outside of the beat, the app will make sure you never skip out of the groove.

FULL FX SUITE INCLUDED

Modulate your tracks with over 40 intuitive, high-grade effects. the software’s famous Deck FX can twist and screw your tracks with endless variation, while new Mixer FX introduce easy-to-use effects in a single control on each channel. Turn them up, down, on, and off, for sonic exploration that’s out of this world.

NEW INTERFACE

We’ve overhauled the program’s user interface for extra clarity by flattening and sharpening it, so you can see everything you need to at a glance in challenging environments. New master and channel level metering means you can accurately gain your mix with full visual feedback.

NEW MIXER FX

Whether it’s heavy drops or smooth transitions that define your style, new Mixer FX are designed for one-knob modulation with big-sounding results. Choose from eight extra effects and three new filters to assign to each channel, in addition to the product’s famous Deck FX.

SCRATCH WITH ANY SOUNDCARD

TRAKTOR SCRATCH is now included in the PRO version, right out of the box. This means that DVS DJs using timecode vinyl can now use any soundcard they like, in addition to tried and tested, the SCRATCH Certified soundcards and mixers. So if there’s a model that does it for you, or if you’re playing back-to-back with somebody on a different setup, TRAKTOR 2020 latest can adapt.

SOUND YOUR BEST

The app sees a series of changes to audio engine, designed with club- sized sound systems in mind. New Elastique 3 time-stretching, an improved master limiter, and industry-mixer modeling options mean that whatever your style, and whatever you do to your tracks, they’ll always be music to your ears.

PLUG AND PLAY WITH ANY GEAR

Got a mixer or controller you know back-to-front, inside-out? Aside from seamless integration with all the software products, you can also hook up lots of the tool-ready gear. Most industry-standard equipment you’ll find in a DJ booth is compatible from the get-go, so you’ll never arrive at the club unprepared. 

REMIX DECKS

One-shot samples and loops on Remix decks blur the lines between DJ and live performance. Insert samples, atmospheric effects, and more into a Remix deck and trigger them in sync with the rest of your mix. Drag a loop you like from another deck to keep it playing in your remix deck for extended mixes.

STEMS

The Stems audio format splits tracks into four musical components, such as drums, bass, vocals, and melody, so you can mix them independently. Edit and re-edit in the heat of the moment, blend basslines and vocals from tracks you know to create tracks you didn’t.

Note: Closes after 30 minutes, but can then be reopened to try again.

Hi again people,

I downloaded Traktor pro 2 yesterday, i’ve never used this before so please bear with me.

I have a track that I’m trying to set the grid. The track is Wuthering Heights (original mix) by O’SHINE, Simon.

I cleared the grid that traktor set as it was clearly wrong and layed another. The grid is fine until after the build up. When the beat kicks back in, is way off. So at the point i’ve layed another (so i now have number 2 on that beat) and from then on, it’s fine. Im i doing this correctly ?

I haven’t used Traktor in a while yet, but as far as I know, Traktor still doesn’t offer a solution for flexible beatgridding. What you describe as being number two just sounds like a hot cue, not a beatmarker.

You can change the beatmarker for the first downbeat and you can change the bpm if Traktor’s analysis gets it wrong. But as far as I know there is no way to fix what you want fixed.

Perhaps someone else can shine a light on this that I have missed?

As far as I understand, the bpm stays the same throughout the track. Extra beatmarkers just set another downbeat if I am not mistaken. 

Again, I don’t Traktor supports various beatgrids within one track. It’s one of the reasons I moved to Mixvibes Cross.

I’ve checked that file for you in Traktor – it has a very slight varying beatgrid.

Traktor cannot beatgrid that for you perfectly. X11 video output xcb download.

You have a few options:

1. Forget beatgriding it and mix in and out manually.

2. Set the beat grid perfectly at the begining so you can mix in using sync then manually mix out.

3. Set the beat grid at the end of the tune (after the break) so the outro is perfectly beatgrid – then manually mix in and use sync out.

4. Forget this tune and move on – you will find this issue in 1 in every 50-100 tunes.

Hope that helps.

Are you sure the downbeat has changed. Not uncommon for musical parts to kick in 1 or even 2 beats before the first downbeat. The fact that the music or vocal starts again doesn’t necessarily mean it’s the new downbeat. 

Let’s face it, Traktor is good at tight, electronic music with a constant beat throughout. Changing bpm’s and such it can’t handle well.

If you plan on having much music like this, you might consider Serato or Mixvibes Cross, both of which have excellent flex gridding.

What was the reason to decide to use Traktor? The choice for software should, imho, follow the workflow you want and need. Just curious what led to picking Traktor.

Greetinx.

so i guess, all is good?!

Yes, that sounds about right 😛

As I have that track also I checked it in Traktor and Serato.

Yes the beat on this track does change after the breakdown as the 1 bar after the break is not exact.

Traktor cannot handle such a thing and even in Serato I had to make a downbeat marker to make it work (however it does work in Serato).

This is just one thing Traktor currently cannot do as flexible beatgridding is not supported and this is something you have to live with in such tunes.12→Traktor Pro 2 Reviews
