Just use the browse button to scroll, SHIFT + Push the browser button to toggle between List and Tree.

Not sure when this started happening but I noticed that all of the music that I load into Traktor seems to erase all metadata from the actual file browser and I can't figure out why. I use Traktor on my home pc as well as laptop for live shows, and I've never had a problem with it on the laptop but for whatever reason it just removes all.

These are midi-out mappings, and in Traktor Pro you can add one by clicking the ‘Add Out’ button.

With its mammoth configuration section, cockpit-style advanced display modes, and myriad buttons, dials and faders, Traktor Pro 2 has a control for just about everything a DJ could possibly want or need to do.

Here are seven power tips for making the most of the program. Precision auto tune government. From keeping Traktor running smoothly to getting the most from some of its advanced features to using functions in unusual or original ways, there’s bound to be something here you’ve not thought of yet…

1. Correcting auto-beatgridded songs when they’re off by a beat or two

The quickest fix for this is to find the first beat of the song by either using a jogwheel or clicking with a mouse. When you have this selected, click cue point 2 (found in advanced deck view then cue points) and go to the arrow beside “cue”. Click this and click “load”, then click the “map” button to the right of this and click on your white grid marker. It means you will only be using one cue point, and also when you load the song it will now be right at the start of the first beat/the melody.

2. Using the loop recorder to free up your decks

It took me a while to figure out a use for the loop recorder, but basically this is the way I use it nowadays. I have it set up with two decks and two FX decks (due to screen size and mixing style). So say I have two songs playing a nice tune together that has gelled well. If it’s getting near the end of the songs and I don’t want to stop one to load a new song, I’ll set the loop recorder to an eight-bar loop and hit “record”. (Once done you may get phasing so be quick to pause both decks and just let the loop recorder play.) This frees up both decks to mix in the next song.

Then just fade out the volume of the loop recorder and start again. (I do this all with my mouse since I don’t have it in my mapping yet, maybe one day on the iPad I will though…) Remember to practise this lots before you try it live as it is quite easy to mess up, but if you know how it works it can be fun and a lifesaver too.

3. Finding the snap and quantise functions

Many people for some reason struggle to locate these. These two buttons are located under the main volume knob labelled “S” and Q”. I tend to leave S on most the time bar when setting cue points. If you want to set a cue point not on a beatgrid (usually in dubstep for me) you have to turn off snap.

Quantise is rather handy for cue point juggling, as it basically keeps your song in tempo and ensures you land perfectly on the beat (I think of it as an advanced sync mode).

4. Letting Traktor sort your gains out for you

A lot of people don’t trust software to judge gain for them, but the auto gain mode in Traktor has to be one of the best I’ve ever used. To engage it, go to Settings > Mixer > Level and then click “Set auto gain when loading tracks”.

The next song you load is set by the last track’s peak volume (but be careful not to turn up a track if it’s just in a build-up as when it drops it may distort). Traktor will usually set the gain levels just before the limiter to get the most out of reach track.

5. Using the keyboard for FX select

This is something I use that few people seem to do. Basically I don’t really need to use my laptop keyboard for anything else when using Traktor, so I have a few keys set to be FX auto load. I currently have the keys S for beatmasher (sampler), D for delay, F for filter 92 and G for gater on FX deck 2. This means while playing I can quickly load FX without having to use a jogwheel or my mouse.

To do this for the gater (for example), go to Settings > Controller manager > Generic keyboard.

Click Add in – FX single – FX select – Type of control = button – Interaction mode = direct, Assignment = deck 2 (you can use any), Set to value = gater. Click learn and hit G.

Just do the same for any key with any FX you want; it’s just that I use those above the most.

6. Adjusting latency for smoother running

I’ve heard a lot of people saying Traktor can be glitchy at times and usually the first thing to pop into my head when this happens is to check if the latency is set way too low.

To adjust this, go to Settings > Audio setup and locate the latency slider. Slowly move the yellow slider to the right; even one notch may fix your problem (but keep note of original settings).

7. Using the advanced delay to create a loop roll effect

You may already use this or think it’s old but I love it too much not to mention it! You basically load an advanced delay into either of the FX decks and set it up so Wet/dry is at 0, Filter is at 0, Feedback is around 50 and Rate is either 1/4 or 4/4 (I prefer 1/4), then leave “frz” ticked. When you want to use it, just press “on”.

It will loop the current part of the track until you hit the “on” key again to toggle it off, but meanwhile the track has carried on playing in the background.
