The Cut Tool

Recording a mix, on my third track mixed it and the mix is pretty nice and the crossfader fully to the left so I know there are no artifacts of the other deck involved. When I play back the mix or write it to WAV the file jumps at a certain point.

Theres obviousky some kind of defect in the recording which I can't dub out. Not a problem I thought, I'll use the cut tool to chop the tune up before it gets to the jump and then I'll just let Traktor re-record the bit I want and carry on my mix. Nope! Can't do that because Traktor wants to make the cut point the START of my mix.

Surely there must be a way to get rid of a bit of recording and go back a chunk. I'm not asking to play with the playing of the songs, EQ or crossfader settings (which I obviously could do with the dub!), I just wanna start recording from a couple of seconds back. Is this possible!? Please say it is!

 

I stumbled over that myself quite a few times. I've never quite figured out the cut tool (even *with* the manual, thanks ), but what you want you can do with the record button.

Play your mix until, say, 10 seconds before the glitch. Then just press record and go from there.

I hope this does what you want. There also is an annoying bug, that after jumping around in the mix a lot (ffwd, rew) and then pressing record will have one of the track sjump back to beginning. This doesn't happen, when you press/unpress "play mix" once or twice before recording.

All of this of course means that you'll have to redo all following tracks. I wouldn't mind if NI could find a solution for that in a future version.

Hope this helps, Cheers, h00la

 

Yeh it does. Thanks.
