Master Panel
Fig. 4-16 — The Master panel
The Master panel contains the
MAIN
knob that controls the overall volume of TRAKTOR and
the Snap (
S
) and Quantize (
Q
) buttons. They are lit blue when active.
With Snap mode on, any Cue Point you create in the track will snap to the closest beat,
thus ensuring that you get directly to that beat next time you press the Hotcue.
With Quantize mode on, whenever you jump through the track (e.g. by pressing a Hotcue
button or clicking somewhere in the Overview waveform), the playback jumps to the near
est position that preserves the beat-matching, thus ensuring that the current sync doesn’t
get lost when you jump through the track.
TRAKTOR LE 2 does not contain the Snap or Quantize button.
