Playing back an existing mix and then changing it before a weak mix plays back Newer versions of Traktor have brought emulation of real-world mixer EQs and instead of throwing the old versions away, you are able to choose from a list of available EQs (the top three all being different 3-band versions): Most people won't be using four decks, but the ability to keep two decks synchronized by setting one to master and one to slave is definitely of broader appeal. That way, you could have a mix of three tracks going and speed them up while still retaining sync.

You can also use this master tempo to change the speed of multiple decks simultaneously by enabling the Slave setting on each deck.

If you show the full four-deck layout, you can set the master clock.Д¬lick Master and then any time you hit sync on a deck, the tracks will sync to the tempo specified in the Clock panel. You can also use an internal BPM clock or an external midi clock if you prefer to have something more centralized for reference. You can't just sync to the three other tracks since they all have independent BPM, so Traktor lets you set a deck as a master for syncing. When you get into four turntables, the main problemВ—other than losing your mindВ—becomes what to use as a reference tempo. You set the beat grid by cueing up the first beat in the track and then selecting the Grid popup from the Cue Edit menu. Also, it comes in handy if you have music that switches tempos mid-track for a break and then resumes its first BPM later. For most house and techno, manually setting a beat grid is not going to be needed, but it's essential if you want to mix an acapella or have any music that is too complicated or sparse for the app to figure out. Unlike just setting a global BPM manually by tapping it out (also available), a beat grid is like overlaying a must-follow guide for when you hit sync. While Traktor's BPM detection is very good, accurately guessing the tempo of some really fractured drum 'n' bass beats I have, relying on a single BPM guide is not always enough to get tracks to line up properly, so Traktor lets the user set their own beat grid manually. A few Traktor-only interface goodies are a Snap mode for navigating the waveform, good for use with beatgrid testing and a track ending warning that uses a user-set time for blinking a warning that your track is ending. Since Traktor basically set the interaction standard for other DJ apps, a lot of the toggles and tricks you find in other programs are close to the same here: right-click and drag to position the sliders and then click the left mouse button to instantly snap to that temporary position, good for quick crossfading or more subtle EQ kills. Maybe I should just turn the scratch panel off on the display and get on with it but a little thing in the back of my head just niggles as IвЂ™m almost certain this didnвЂ™t happen before I initially applied updates and upgraded to Lion OSX.1/8 loops: good for those epilepsy fundraisers

Many say skipping is normal and to ignore it, but then some say otherwise. IвЂ™ve brought this up with a few people вЂ“ friends/DJs who use the same set-up and on the NI forums to which I get mixed responses. The skipping doesnвЂ™t effect my mix, everything is great once in playback, itвЂ™s just on the cue when this message appears. I have tried different cables, re-wired everything so nothing is loose, unfortunately IвЂ™ve only got two Pioneer CDJ1000MK2s to test with at home, but I find it unlikely both of my units would be faulty. I have just now re-installed the whole software, applied the latest updates and IвЂ™m still getting the skipping message when hitting the cue рџ¦ I have switched from absolute to relative and unfortunately this doesnвЂ™t make a difference. It was seamless for me and everything was as it was before when running Snow Leopard.Д®dit: November 22 2011: For those experiencing some lagging, try this. Find my videos on Youtube at If anyone hears of any issues upgrading let me know. So for those people that requested that option in my videos, you donвЂ™t have to wait any longer. I am now able to highlight the mouse clicks for my instructional videos. So far, I like it, so IвЂ™ll stick with it this way for now.ДЄnother great feature is within Quicktime itself. It is a little tricky to get used to, but it can be turned off in the preferences if you like. As with Lion the mouse track pad works in the opposite direction than before, so when you are scrolling through tracks it works like it would on an iPhone or iPad for scrolling.

I installed the New Mac Operating System, Lion today and have not seen any issues thus far.

As per the old post from Native Instruments ( see here) Traktor Pro 2 seems to be working fine on my 2006 MacBook Pro.
