Once you’ve found the downbeat, move the track so the playhead marker is positioned over this section of the waveform. The downbeat means beat one of a bar, usually located on the first kick drum in a track. Occasionally a beat-grid will have to be adjusted and this can be done by clicking the tempo button and finding the downbeat position in the track. Beat-griddingĮach track in TRAKTOR DJ 2 has beat-grids that are automatically created these allow you to perfectly sync your tracks together using Sync mode.

Loops can be set on tracks by pressing the numbered Loop button, or you can tap directly into the waveform to create a loop. There’s a Cue button that allows you to Cue your tracks and Play button to start the tracks. The four effects can be used creatively to enhance a mix and sound every bit as good as TRAKTOR PRO’s 3’s effects. The iPad app has a three-band EQ and a slider that allows you to adjust the Dry/Wet control of the effects. The FX knob allows you to choose from Filter, Reverb, Delay or Gater.

#TRAKTOR DJ 2 UPDATE#
It was a bit concerning last year to see all of the layoffs at Native Instruments followed by a likely global recession this year, but releasing an update is a great sign of life.įor those wondering what’s really up next with the Traktor DJ project, the team shared a little bit more in their update post: What Will The Future Bring for TDJ?įirst, let’s note something awesome: Traktor development seems to be continuing. UI customization based on user preference (assignable transport bar, play/cue button swapping, etc) has been a constant request of Traktor Pro over the years, but we’re betting that the more modern codebase of Traktor DJ makes such changes a bit more reasonable to implement. Overall, these feel like major quality of life improvements for DJs who use the app. Improved Browser view layout shows stacked decks when using waveform view (iOS).Tracks can now be played before analysis is complete.Track time displays next to each track in the browser (iOS).Track genre is now visible, searchable, and sortable.New “CUE slide-to-play” allows for holding CUE and sliding into Play.Transport Bar can now be assigned to the left, right, or bottom on iOS.Here’s what the Traktor team has shared as being the big feature additions and improvements in the 2.4 update to the app. It’s still just two decks – but we imagine it may replace Traktor Pro one day. It has a lot of the functionality of Traktor, but it’s free, has SoundCloud Go+ integration, and track recommendations. It’s available on iOS devices, MacOS, and Windows. Traktor DJ 2 is the “rewrite” of the Traktor codebase, modeled after the Traktor DJ iOS app. Traktor DJ 2 vs Traktor Pro 3: A Refresher

The update to Traktor DJ 2.4 has a bunch of features that look like they’re straight out of a user feature request thread – mostly focused around the transport interface.
#TRAKTOR DJ 2 PC#
If you haven’t looked at Traktor DJ, Native Instruments’ iOS app (it runs on Mac and PC too) recently, a new update and the concurrent global stay-home happening seems like the perfect time to do it.
