Snapping to the Beats
You don’t have to worry about being precise enough to set a HotCue directly on a beat; by de-
fault, TRAKTOR will make sure this happens automatically. This is because the Snap mode is
on, indicated by the lit S button located in the top-mid on the S8:
The S button on the Mixer.
With Snap mode on, any HotCue you set in the track will snap to the closest beat, thus ensur-
ing that recalling a CuePoint will always trigger a downbeat.
2.7.2 Aligning Tracks using HotCues
1. When you hear a downbeat in the other track, press the pad with the HotCue you just
used to store the downbeat position.
2.8 Adjusting Tempo
In this tutorial you will learn how to adjust the tempo of a track and the global tempo. The S5
doesn't feature a dedicated tempo fader per Deck which you might expect of a conventional DJ
controller. Instead, the S5 offers a new approach to controlling the tempo of your mixes descri-
bed in the following section.
Prerequisites
We assume here that S5 is in the following state:
▪ The track “Techno 1” is loaded on Deck A and stopped.
▪ The track “Techno 2” is loaded on Deck B and stopped.
▪ The tracks are not in sync.
