I have Traktor Pro 1.2.7 I think it is on my mac. One thing that bugs me is the cueing system.

In Serato Scratch Live, using my Denon controller I find the start of the track, select the cue point, job done, whenever I fire that cue it will always start from that position.

In Traktor, when I load the track it tries to automatically guess the start point which invariably is wrong. So I delete it by clicking on the bin, find the right point and set the cue point. Sometimes it lets me do it, sometimes it snaps to the beat marker. How do I stop it from snapping to the beat marker?

Also...how do I switch on Tempo/key lock? It seems to shift the pitch all the time...

Many thanks!

To stop it snapping to the best marker, turn off SNAP in the global area at the top. You might also want to set a LOAD point rather than CUE point if you always want traktor to find that point when you load the track.

The Tempo/Key Lock is the little musical note next to the + - pitch, when it is on (orange). Key Lock is on.

Hope this helps.

How do you set a load point? I guess that is the same as setting cue point "1" and telling the software to load at that point in the config?

Is there a way I can quickly set a cue point? I know I can press the number keys 1-8, but for deck b this is not possible, unless you shift-1-8???
