The Loop Recorder allows you to record new material on the fly and can capture input
from several sources. Select the Recording Source (5): The drop-down menu offers the fol
lowing choices:
▪ Main will record TRAKTOR’s overall signal.
▪ Cue will record any channel(s) whose Headphones Cue button is on.
▪ Ext picks up the signal assigned to TRAKTOR’s Input Send channel.
▪ Aux will pick up the signal assigned to TRAKTOR’s Aux channel—typically the micro
phone input (for more info on how to use a microphone, please see chapter ↑18.6,
Adding a Microphone).
Press the SIZE button (2) to determine the initial length of the recording. The length of the
recording will be displayed in the progress bar (3). Start recording using the Record button
(6) and use it again to start and stop overdubbing. Use the Play button (7) to start and stop
playback. The progress bar will display a red frame when recording and a blue frame dur
ing playback. Adjust the ratio of main to recorded signal with the
DRY/WET knob (1).
► For an in-depth tutorial on the Loop Recorder please read ↑15.9, Using the Loop Re
corder (TRAKTOR PRO 2 / TRAKTOR SCRATCH PRO 2 Only).
► To find out how to use a microphone with the Loop Recorder please read ↑18.6.1, Us
ing Your Microphone with the Loop Recorder.
If you’re using TRAKTOR SCRATCH PRO/DUO 2 and are therefore in External Mixing mode,
the only available option is Ext.
9.2.3 Master Clock Panel
The Master Clock is a central component of TRAKTOR and works as a tempo reference for
the effects and for the sync function. It also sends a MIDI Clock signal to external hard
ware and software.
To show the Master Clock panel, click on the Metronome icon on the left side of the Glob
al section.
