Identical to the Ableton FAQ Sticky, please use this thread to discuss and share your Traktor Pro tips and tricks. thumbsup I know a few of you are just getting started and it would be really handy for you all to have a dedicated thread too. thumbsup

in what way do you think its shit? If the track you are gridding has a wandering tempo you are pretty fucked, but with mp3's its a piece of piss, takes a couple of seconds per tune?

Thinking of going down this route, but don't want to spend too much incase I don't really get back into it again.

 

Is anyone using the Numark Omni Control? Looks like the Stealth model, only with a sound card built in (which I need). Any one got any feedback on this kit?

 

Was also looking a the Torq-Xponent but heard it's a bit plasticy?
