Automix In Traktor Pro 2

Posted : admin | On 22-05-2021

Dec 12, 2017 When Automix is enabled, Djay Pro 2 takes over, scanning the song’s rhythmic patterns and determining where the best intro and outro sections are for transitioning to the next song. All the ways Automix works, from the duration of the mix to how it handles tempo, can be adjusted. This information-packed course is the first of many videos in the TRAKTOR Controller Series of Shortee's Complete DJ Method. It works seamlessly in conjunction with her TRAKTOR Software course: “The Complete Guide To TRAKTOR Pro 2” and is essential for building a strong foundation to take your skills to the next level. Four decks, 30 DJ effects, remix decks and loop recording are the key features of the application. In addition, it converts each of the four decks into a remix deck, enabling you to load up to 16 loops and play four at a time. Traktor Pro 2 can excel as a team player amongst its peers.

Algoriddim – notorious for their iOS DJ apps – just announced a new version of their pro-level DJ software, djay Pro 2. This is a Mac-only release, and has features that both casual and professional users will find intriguing, from machine-learning driven auto-mixing to accessibility features for the visually impaired.

We’ve trimmed up the feature list from Algoriddim’s press release below:

Automix AI: Using machine learning and training sets from human DJs, Automix AI intelligently identifies rhythmic patterns and the best intro and outro sections of songs. Automix AI calculates optimal fade durations and automatically applies parameter changes to EQs and filters for a seamless transition. Beats and tempos are matched using Morph which ensures that a song’s BPM is maintained during a transition. This innovative song mixing technology allows for seamless cross-genre mixes with varying tempo.

Using Match, an innovative song recommendation engine powered by Spotify, users get a continuous queue based on danceability, BPM, key, and music style. Automix AI allows users to fully lean back and enjoy the mix, yet users still have full manual control over Automix AI settings on-the-fly, as well as the ability to change the source music at
any time. Using the transition button, users can trigger a seamless mix to the next song at any time.

Advanced Media Library: An advanced library management system that is built around a sophisticated integration with Spotify, iTunes, Video, Photos, and the file system. djay Pro 2 now also offers its own playlists that make music management easier than ever. These appear in their own tab in the library manager, and allow users to create their own custom and smart playlists. Via the split view, users can even manage their songs from iTunes and Spotify side by side. To help organize users playlists and quickly locate songs, djay Pro 2 includes a powerful Smart Filter. With 12 different criteria, users can create rules that display exactly what they need, either to create permanent playlists, or to temporarily find a specific song.

PhotoBeatTM: Users can drag an album or a selection of photos onto the visual decks and djay Pro 2 creates a beat-matched slideshow. Photos are cycled on beat and the rate can be adjusted on-the-fly in a range of a 1/4 beat all the way up to 4 beats per photo. Users can also apply effects to their photos in the same way as video, and output via an external monitor through HDMI or AirPlay.

Accessibility: Every feature of djay Pro 2 has been carefully adapted for Accessibility, so vision impaired users can seamlessly dive into the experience. With VoiceOver enabled, users hear a description of everything happening on their screen through their headphones independent of the mix that is playing through the main speakers.

Keyboard Shortcuts Editor: a full keyboard editor which allows users to assign any feature in djay Pro 2 to a custom keyboard shortcut. This is especially useful if users work with the Touch Bar or a hardware controller and want to add more instant features to their setup via the keyboard.

  • Hi all.

    Im hoping someone can help me. Im new to this digital djing lark, specifically the software. I use an S2 and Traktor Pro 2.6

    Im having serious problems sorting the autogains out.

    All i want is to set up Traktor so i can mix a set, with a headroom of say -3db so i get no clipping, and to have each song at the same volume without having to manually mess with the totalgain knobs on the S2 as these values are moving all over the place.

    In the prefs i set autogain on for each new loaded track, and in the track layout i have the “total db” showing for each track as i load them, but they started off at say -2.6 db and then went totally random, one even went as low as -9db – even though in my headphones they sounded roughly the same volume.

    Could someone please explain to me, as if i were a 2 year old (:P) I just want it simple, same volume throught mix, no clipping, but as loud when i play the mix back on my ipod as any other podcast/mix sounds.

    Regards

    I use Traktor too and one thing I’ve read in some blogs and forums was ”don’t trust Traktor Auto-Gain”, so I never use it.

    But what I could say to you it’s that if in your headphones the tracks sound the same, than it’s because probably everything it’s working fine, trust your ears first.

    There are a couple of software out there that can help you normalize the gain of you’re tracks (by normalizing I mean setting the tracks at the same volume), some of them have already been mentioned in the blog, MP3 Gain it’s one of them, but I’ve haven’t tried yet.

    That is the auto gain. Autogain does not mean that every track db is the same on your screen. It means that Traktor adjust the volume (the dB) of each track, so that they are all at the same level.

    For instance the first track you play traktor sets the gain at – 0.5 If the second track is louder then the first track Trakor sets the gain on that track at let’s say -1.0 so it’s matches the volume of the first track. So the reason the gain settings seems random is because lots of different tracks have lots of different volumes.

    If you want your mix too be not too loud, the best thing too do is to turn down the main volume. So your recording is not too loud. From there on you can turn up the volume of the complete mix. You can do this in audacity or with MP3 gain programs. But I think you can learn all those things in the upcoming mixtape pro formula course. Best thing to do is to not record too loud. because once it is distorted it is nearly impossible to fix.

    I also would encourage you to learn to manually set the gain of each track. You don’t have to learn it right away. But I think it is good to have that skill. It is not really hard to learn but it let’s you listen closely to your music. And if you one day play on set up without Traktor ( CDJ’s maybe ) you know what to do.

    Cheers for the replies guys,

    So i get that the db showing can be random, depending on the recorded volume etc.

    So technically if i have autogain on in prefs, once ive loaded a song, the 2nd, 3rd tracks etc should all be matched “volume-wise” yes? I shouldnt have to touch the individual track gains on the S2?

    This is what im thinking “should” happen, but some of the tunes are very very different in volume, even with autogain enabled. Also when 1 is miles out of the red on the VU the next sometimes flies into the red straight away?

    Or is this what Ruben was talking about with not trusting Traktor to autogain for u? 😛

    “So technically if i have autogain on in prefs, once ive loaded a song, the 2nd, 3rd tracks etc should all be matched “volume-wise” yes? I shouldnt have to touch the individual track gains on the S2?”

    (Sorry I don’t know how to use a quote 😀 )

    That’s right. But I find Traktor autogain highly unreliable, for the very same reasons you mentioned. So that is why I set the gains myself. But I started DJ ing with vinyl. So I am kinda used to it. I really think the best method is to use a combination of your ears and the vu meters, which your S2 has.

    Aha!

    So now i understand! Thats m8 lol.

    I thought it was me messing with the gains that was causing this issue, perhaps its just Traktor doing it wrong for me sometimes 😛

    Yea i started years ago with vinyl too so im used to just using my ears and adjusting gain as i was beatmatching in my ears. Its this new software stuff thats completely new to me 😛 I just assumed it would and SHOULD do all that for me now 😛

    Cheers again!

    Personally, I don’t do autogain. I stem from the stone age where, if you were lucky, you’d have volume meters per channel and gain knobs. More often than not it was just channel faders and your ears (which are worth peanuts when it comes to volume levels).

    Once gain knobs and meters became commonplace, I got into the habit of setting gain for EVERY track I load. It never seemed worthwile to unlearn that skill to go autogain. Especially if you use various equipment and play out on house systems at venues where you can’t use your laptop for instance (like CDJ-environments). In my mobile setup I will use iPhone from time to time (I don’t have an internet connection active on my DJ laptop and will use the download from iTunes on my iPhone if there is something I feel I must use that instant) and even occasionally some old-fashioned vinyl and/or CDs.

    All of those don’t work with autogain. This way I never get caught off-guard.

    Personal taste, I am sure, but I’ll do it myself.

    Greetinx,

    Chuck
