Beat gridding on DDj-T1

I have a DDJ-T1 with the version of tractor it came with, i think it's the ME edition. I've never bothered with beat grid ding for house, techno etc, however for breakbeat and drum and bass i thin i'm gonna have to beat grid tracks. Trouble is i have no idea how to do it or where even to find a menu or anything. I've had a look at you tube and some tutorial but it seems a lot of the tutorials are for tractor pro and the screen looks very different to mine. I am gonna upgrade but not yet as i have a 2 grand financial burden from the purchase of a Mac and the DDj-T1. Can anyone point me in the direction of how to beat grid on this version? Is it even possible?

 

if you have an LE version or whatever, its only $44 to upgrade, i suggest upgrading, you are missing out on numerous features.

you can find the upgrade here http://www.native-instruments.com/en/products/dj/traktor-pro-2/

 

Er it's 79 Euro's is it not? I know i've gotta upgrade but not for another month. On a separate issue is it possible to map the cue button so it acts as a tap button for tempo?

 

No, the price of an upgrade has been deeply discounted as of late.

DJKilla is correct.

I believe Traktor 2.5 will be released sometime in May. I would assume the price will go back to normal when that happens. However, the current Traktor upgrade includes a free upgrade to 2.5 when released.

Basically, you are better off updating now.

As for your question, yes, anything can be remapped as far as I know.

 

Any idea how i would re-map? New to this and ain't got a clue.

 

I made a mapping to beatgrid with the keyboard. You can find it here. It can help as well to see what commands are available for beatgridding

google is your friend for mapping questions

and dont tell me you looked and couldnt find it because its there :lol:

 

Sweet dude.

 

Man, i'm so confused about this mapping stuff. Firstly i can't find what i'm after and secondly if i do find what i'm looking for do i need to cut and past the computer code somewhere?
