Traktor pro 2 setting weird cue points when I try to fix beat grids.

    So, Traktor erased all of my settings that I had for some reason, including playlists, song collection, etc.
    Now, a lot of the beat grids on my tracks are incorrect, and whenever I try to correct them in the grid tab, traktor will create a new cue point.
    Once this cue point is set, the grid is fixed, but if I try to delete the cuepoint, the beatgrid resets to being messed up.

    I have no idea what's going on but I really want to find a fix to this.
    Thank you!

    Edit: could it have been the 2.7 update that caused this? I never manually initiated an update or anything.

    for once, traktor doesnt erase anything as long as you dont tell it to do so... so when you updated, you've been asked what to do with the old traktor folder. check your hdd for your old traktor folder (in my documents on win / user folder on mac) and then in the file settings of the preferences point to that. or better, to copy of that in the new 2.7.0 folder.

    secondly: to set a beatgrid, you need a gridmarker. one is enough. you can correct the tempo with the respective buttons and/or move the gridmarker itself, if it isnt exactly on a beat.

    i recommend having a nice read in the manual, both things are covered there, too!

    Well when I press the button to set the grid marker it sets a cue point as well. Once I delete that cue point the grid goes back to being messed up.

    Suprised, when u delete ur grid marker the grid goes back like it was before marking?? Thats how it is, if u dont have grid mark, then u cant possible have the editet grid, that's also works on ur first cue. So if deleting it does make an problem, then dont delete it. U have 7 cues left which should be plenty enough.

    You have an option to tell traktor to store beatmaker(s) as hotcues or not so it won't take one of your 8 spots.

    I had problems with my Itunes and I am now in the process of creating a new library from an external back up. The Library is the same. I haven't opened Traktor pro yet. I was wondering what I need to do to make sure the transition goes smooth. I will have to change the location/path to load.
    Do I just open Traktor and let it deal with it or do I need to do something to avoid more duplicates?

    yep, support that, read manual, read it twice, then read it third time if cant understand, everyone should at least understand the basics of the soft that they use.
