That moment you stumble over this video after 9 years of owning Traktor and you realize your settings have been wrong the whole time. This was enlightening to say the least.

That moment you read this comment and feel great about yourself not even owning a TRAKTOR but already set the right settings for others. lol

What changed for you after you updated your settings from watching this video?

8 years later and still helpful info. Much appreciated:) Thank you!

One thing to consider in turning on the limiter: Not only is most dance music hella limited to begin with, but the limiter also uses extra processing power, which can mean the difference being able to audition tracks and mixes while analyzing other tracks if you are using a slightly slower computer, or having to do it a day ahead. (With the limiter off, turn the master down a bit and keep an ear out for clipping.)

I just discover your channel, and even I am French native speaker, it is really easy for me to understand what you are explaining. Thank you for the hard work

been on tractor for 2 years now.. setting a limiter on the master..?? had nooo idea. was thinking of bridging ableton for certain compression and limiting capabilities but this just made my doing that much better, you're the MAN

Great explanations, thanks! I'm just starting out as a hobby and school DJ, and this video is really helpful.

your the man ean golden...youve helped me get through technical difficulties...rock on brother!

thank you! my fans are pretty amazing :)

I've been slowly trying to fumble my way through Traktor since I got it. I'd mixed records for years, but had never used software so I pretty much didn't have a clue what I was doing. This is easily the most helpful video for Traktor I've seen so far.

Great to have your Channel here to learn more and more from Traktor Pro 2 and in other Videos from you, like Traktor S8. Have buy it for me last days. So complicated but with your Vid´s, I learn a bit more about the Traktor Stuff.-) Thx Dude.-)) Greetz from Berlin/Germany.

WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOA!!!! EPIC DANCE FLOOR BREAK DOWN! And you get fired, unless it's a Dubstep party! Dope vid!

Thanks man! I had Traktor open and went though my settings and changed them while watching this :)

We want more videos just like this. This was really outstanding!!!!

Every video of Ean's is great. Thanks man

this was a great vid Ean! i recently got the deal of a lifetime and purchased a brand new S8 for $200 so ive been switching over to traktor and been completely lost in a lot of aspect of the software since it has wayyy more stuff than serato. ive been looking at all the settings and everything and im not too sure what all of them do and been watching vids to learn and this vid has deff been extremely helpful so thanks. been following djtt since the beginning and always look forward to seeing whats new on the site so keep it up!

+Alucard whats up bro.. just seen your comment and figured id drop you a line. I had bought my little brother a ddj sb2 and it didn't work so we had to go to the store to order a new unit. While I was there doing the paper work this kid walks inn trying to sale his s8 to the store but they weren't buying any gear at the moment. So outta curiosity I asked him how much he wanted for it he said he didn't know but he would give it to me for next to nothing. So I said to him ok whats your next to nothing price and he said $200. So I asked the guy at the store if I could plug it inn where they had their demo s8 to see if it worked and sure enough it lit right up and worked with no problems. So I asked the kid selling it why the low price he said the was a family emergency and he needed money asap. So I paid him the $200. Guess I was at the right place at the right time.

Feel kinda bad for the kid, but what an opportunity. That's one hell of a discount.

Really glad you posted this.

Hello, just installed pro 2 and seen this vid, i noticed I dont have the option to set autogain when loading track, i simply have enable autogain!!!! which doesnt seem to work at all, any ideas??

hey man, nice video and by the way. I loved every single of your track selections!

Okay "Epic dancefloor breakdown" earned you the thumbs up, haha.

Just brought Traktor today and i have to say this video was super helpful. Now to figure out why it jumps/skips and i will be peachy

Try downloading and running LatencyMon to see if there are any apps or drivers that are spiking your CPU

Thanks man. Very informative. Cheers on your anniversary too!

I was messing around with traktor today, and I ended up having to turn off the limiter. Controlling it externally, I noticed the volume seemed to be uncontrollable on my mixer since traktor was adjusting it as I played? I dunno. Maybe I was just hearing things, but has anyone had similar issues while mixing externally?

DJ Jesus does some pretty sick tutorials. Good tips!

Very nice. I have seen it a couple of times over the last two months.

Load marker: user set cue point that the deck will snap to automatically when the track is loading, reducing the need to search through track and set initial cue point while playing

great tips with really good way of explaining

saved my life with tempo sync... i couldn't figure out was wrong for the longest time!!!

omg the gain killing me yes thank god for eangolden man thanks alot

Really nice video! One thing I find very annoying is that every time I need to do my beatgrids I have to change from Tempo Sync to Beat Sync manually, so that each time I move the grid around, Traktor syncs the song again to the grid. In Tempo Sync mode, we need to un-sync and sync again. How annoying is that!!

what a guy!!!! more great tips from the master of traktor!!!

Ean your such a nice guy, much respect to you.

Great video! Please do more.

Ean great tutorials, but don't really agree on couple of tips here. Hope you can clarify. First is the 'stop track at playback, agreed don't let the track stop but surely its better (and faster) to hit a hot cue button instead of the move (beatjump) if a track ends, because you have to have all the move settings set up right to do that? Personally if I'm running out of time at the end of a track and the new mix isn't ready, i buy time by kicking in a loop from the track. (continues)

Great Video! I purchased Traktor last week & I am having a slow time adjusting to it from Virtual DJ. Only trouble I am having is beat matching...

D. J. G yes- it's a bit harder without overlapping waveforms - got to learn to use your ears a bit more and use your headphones to cue all the time!

thanks for the tips, especially the latency and sync

Tnx dude, like your style! Greetings from Amsterdam!

What a great video! :D I love how much you enjoy yourself!

Indeed these settings are crucial! Thanks! :)

Che sebastian rulli es todo un loquillo

I know you guys did an article on Mixxx the free dj mixing software. But would you guys be willing to do a video on it to show us the pros and cons of it maybe show us some nooks and crannies that we may overlook while using it. Thank you guys soo much

Second point is on the 'reset deck mixer controls'. Why is that bad? It only applies to the deck you are loading a new track into, so that saves a lot of time if you've dropped out the bass or used other filters, or am I missing something here? Cheers and keep up the good work.

You should check out DJ Endo's videos on the preferenced thru dubspot! He has like a 4 part video series with 3 of the parts finished very helpful as well.

I need help Yesterday i fucked around with the settings and now i cant load any song to A deck, but everything else is working. Also if i use mouse to load the song, the filters dont work.

Hey good video, any idea why traktor pro scratch is not detecting my pioneer ddj sb3 . Im using windows 7 and working fine but can't seem to use my controller

Great Great tips, had a couple of issues..All solved Now!!!

I'm fairly certain Golden knows a bit more here. For a DJ Mix, you're never going to want clipping. If your music isn't loud enough at unity gain, then turn up your analogue volume sources, aka the speakers. But if you push your gain past 0 dB fs, you'll get nasty clipping distortion. The limiter will keep this from happening on accident, and it is especially prone to happening when blending two tracks.

Thanks for the vids. Can you please do a video explaining the EQ Selection and Filter Selection area under the Mixer settings window? Thank you!

Hey man great video... Now i have a problem with my traktor pro, its about the pitch that without touching it on traktor S2, it jumps on the program, it moves a lot, making the beatmatching impossible... Help me pls

you should do a tractor basics series for beginners

Dont mind a 5 day video if it helps me with everything i need to know about Tracktor, Question is are you up for it Ean ! lol Great vids dude, have alot of them saved for when i need help. Keep up the good work !

nice tips but i never use autogain its good foor beginner but im mixing for 12years and for me it keep me busy in my proces also i mixed on the pioneer djm 300 when i started long ago and now im used to keep a look on those uv meters that they dont go in red also i can prepare my song so fast in less than 20 seconds or so take gaining away and i have track of 5 minutes im just sitting there doing nothing and limiter you have your main volume button who controls the exiting music never put the main volume to much open so your sound keeps clean all the time off course other people have maybe other preferences :) grtz

Thanks Ean. I'm looking forward to more of these. :)

I just got my hands on Kontrol S8 2nd hand. Everything seems to be working just fine. The only hip cup I got is that I cannot cue my songs. I try the Reference panel and a bunch of configurations there but no avail. My question is; Do I need an external card in order to be able to cue (listen thru my headphones) my tracks? This is the only problem I have today. No cueing thru Traktor S8. Oh, BTW, the headphones logo in the software is solid grey and by clicking at it doesn't do anything. SMH...Thanks Ean, I loved and check your videos, always.

Thank you so much for explaining all that Ean!! ive really needed that Essential Info :D Cheers GOD bless

my question is... do you like the autogain setting Ean, i like the idea but lately ive been finding it to be a bit off for almost the 50% of my music lately

noticed a small fallacy. if you have "stop playback at end of track" unchecked the "loading only into stopped deck" function does not work unless you manually stop the track

Thank you and applause.

Good Afternoon @DJ TechTools. I have the Traktor 3 and when I open the program, I get a screen that says: "Missing Controller TSi". And it won't let me open the SETUP WIZARD option. Do you happen to have any ideas to fix that? I am very desperate and I cannot find the answer. Thank you very much and greetings from Mexico!!! :)

If I want to use turntables with Traktor do I really have to have Traktor Scratch Pro 2? Because i already have traktor pro 2 (of course i have to buy an audiointerface and the timecode vinyls, but my questions is just about the software)

Granted it's not friendly, and it could use some features like copy/paste, but it's extremely powerful.

quick question I'm having a ton of problems with tk2 collection giving me errors on every song I want to play saying is corrupted or missing or can't be played, I know my music is all good cause I buy it from promo only so corrupted? don't think so... I'm using tk 2.6.8 and didn't have this problem before with other versions so i'm thinking in going back to maybe 2.6 or something... any tips on this one? got 2 parties this week and can'tdj like this... contacting NI is impossible takes for ever any help would appreciate thanks!

Regarding autogain, did they change something about it since this video was released because it works different here now.

I have a question! I'm trying to do samples on the sample decks but they work like the samples on vdj where you have to press once to turn it on and press again to turn it off, so i can't do the tipical horn thing sound fast... can you tell me how to change that? I already set the samples to one shots instead of loop but still not working, PLEASE help!!! another thing is when I hit a cue point it doesn't go exactly where I hit it, it goes either half beat before or half beat after... why??? THX

Brilliant info...clear and precise.

that thing you were pressing to show latency, what is it called? a soundboard?

You’re amazing, I have the mixer Kontrol Z2 , I watched also the Oder video, where u talk about it, my question ist why when am I playing without final scratch ? I’m using it like a normal mixer , is it amazing *** , also wenn I used it with Audio-interface A10 NI was sounding very nice , but when it iS working directly with Tractor Timecode , it’s Not sounding like it I would like to plAying normally , I just want the Natural Sound from Z2 how Can I do ? It’s possibile ? Do I Need to change the Setting ? Settings ?

Quality video like always, thanks for the great tips

dude great info .......wanna go home and try it....thx

Awesome tips. Thanks! Auto gain FTW!

i'm new with Traktor, i have been trying to play some music but there are other music that i could not play with Traktor. then if i tried again to play it, Traktor crashes...why???pls help

thanx ur knowledge is appreciated

That sync tip was really helpful. I was wondering if there was a way to Nom match the songs without losing the fun of manually mixing in

You should make a 5 day long video about this stuff. VERY helpful. thanks man!

Oh, what a shame it was too basic, I thought you were going to reveal 5 of your tricks "magic". Good job Ean. Greetings from Spain.

Thanks for your advices !

I wish to know someone with this gift of "show how" with serato .. Great video, like all fo them! thinking about Traktor!?? who knows! maybe some day ..

Can you do a video about how to set up to record your mix?.. I have a Mac, numark mixdeck, and latest tracktor 2 programs...when I playback a recording, I hear both tracks even when fader is to only one track, it sounds great live, but on playback you can hear me Q ing up other tracks! Driving me crazy! I've even tried splutter from mixdeck to Mac mic input with no luck....HELP!

Whats going on with the waves form?? I have the same problem

great video man!

do you know what setting i need for pioneer ddj-t1 and traktor pro 2 in order to hear tracks out of my headphones. thanks in advance

hey do i move where the bar is to read my wav file. i got pushed to the begginning of my grid when before it was in the middle?? ayudame por please tech tool

+DJ TechTools - I've been trying to use my USB headphones to work with TP2. Research has shown me to use ASIO4ALL, however, I can't make both monitors and headphones to pump out sound. If I go to A4ALL options, I can enable my USB headphones simultaneously with my monitors, however, in TP2 sound input options, it only shows my monitors L&R and doesn't show my USB headphones. Any idea how to properly set these up? Hardware & Software: Edirol UA-25 audio interface Numark Mixtrack II Microsoft Livechat USB headset (I know they're shit but should be enough for what I need it for) Windows 7 Traktor Pro 2 Thanks

Good stuff Ean.

How can i get my oneshot samples to trigger like in this vid (crab effect) on my s2 ? when i try and trigger my samples quick the button acts as a play/pause

ean one big question i have a traktor s4 what latency should be better for scratching? under 9 ms? thanks ! BIG fan of you and dj techtools!!!!!!!!

Who knew Dennis Miller had a little brother? Thumbs Up!

Quick question, hopefully someone can answer. How come my latency yellow bar doesn't move when I click/hold the laptop mouse an move it side to side?

Incredible, Thank you

thanks for the tips they helped out a lot.however I have a problem with my tracks skipping and jumping.I'm using scratch pro 2.any tips on how to fix this issue?

Nice video!!! But my Gain doesn't work !! Even with mark on Enable Autogain and Enable Limiter 😣

im talking to you from the future , thanks.

Thank You for sharing this info.

My waveforms for Traktor Pro 2 are always just Blue.. is that some kind of problem?

Can someone help me! brought the Numark MixTrack and it came with Traktor Le 2. I heard you cannot record with this so I downloaded Traktor Pro 2 off NativeInstruments for $89 and it doesn't seem to work, it is exact same as the LE 2. if anyone can help me let me know!

Funny and informative thanks man!

Good tips

Good job m8! 5 stars
