- It looks like it is already analysed….Traktor and iTunes don’t play ball with each other when it comes to MP3 tags so don’t be surprised if they don’t read each others info (or if they overwrite each other too!)Oh I see the problem. Having Avicci – Levels in your playlist isn’t supported by any reputable software…
Just joking…kind of. Unfortunately as Rob stated above, Traktor and iTunes don’t play too well together but I’m really not sure what the problem is as you could just use the track collection list to find tracks.After analysing the tunes in Traktor did you go back in to iTunes and update the tag information? I’m not home ATM but I’ll double check the info when I get there.There’s no re-analyse option but you can re-scan your music, this should update the tag information in ITunes.The same thing happens to me, remember itunes is noT dj software. Ä° do understand you because i find it annoying that Ä° have to import everything into my traktor collection in order to see the bpm. However Ä° havnt tried this yet but i will analyse everything in Mixed in Key then re-import all my files back into itunes. Ä° will also re-import the files into traktor if Ä° have too. Or as previously stated you can re-scan your music in itunes after you have analysed them in traktor.Miltz308, post: 27721, member: 3399 wrote: Ok so how can I re scan my music??Yes, if you re-scan your itunes collection it will update the tag information with the BPM and any other information you’ve entered. Just reload the music from your hard drive, anytime you update the tag information out side of itunes, say with Traktor,MixedinKey, Beatunes etc that’s all you need to do.If your songs have the BMP in your TRACK COLLECTION (in Traktor)
then simply go back in iTunes software and select the songs and press: COMMAND + i (on a Mac).
It will automatically add the BMP that was analyzed in Traktor in iTunes.

Mar 08, 2010 With this option enabled, Traktor will automatically set a beat marker in your track where it thinks the first downbeat is located. You also might want to change the BPM detection range to the Tempo (BPM) range that you usually DJ at. 2) Next you want Traktor to analyze your new tracks when you load them into a Deck. You will turn on this. Nov 23, 2014 Yes you can, you can sort your playlists by BPM, Import Date, Title, Artist, Key, and Rating. You can change how the playlists are sorted with the first encoder under the display. Are you able to change the color of waveform? At this time it’s not possible to change the color of the waveform. If you know the amount you want to change the tempo of the selection, enter that value in the input box. You can also drag the slider to select a value: the input box will update as you drag the slider. Beats per minute (BPM) If you know the BPM of the selection and the BPM you want to change it.
Stepping up to your first set of CDJs at a gig? To many DJs who never spin on CDJs, this may sound super intimidating at first. Have no fear: there are basic functions that work just the way any controller does. If you can play on any digital controller, CDJs are no problem! Today’s tips will help prep you for your next big gig using the industry standard club rig.
1. Prep All Of Your Playlists + Tracks In Rekordbox
Rekordbox has made it easy for DJs to plug and play on any CDJ setup. Simply export your set to a flash drive, plug it into the CDJ, link them together, and you’re done.
The first thing you must know when creating a set in Rekordbox is the importance of setting up your hot cues and memory cues.
Hot cues allow you to create 3 different cue points within the track to use on the CDJ while mixing. By selecting these hot cues when preparing a set, they will automatically save to your flash drive when exporting.
Memory cues are also great to set up while using Rekordbox. Use them to give yourself more options to jump around in a song. Memory cues help you decide which part of the song you want to mix into. Simply just click the section you want to place the memory cue on, and hit “Memory” in Rekordbox. When you get to your gig, just hit the arrows that say “call”, and the CDJ will scroll through your memory cues.
Remember, properly exporting your tracks from Rekordbox can take a lot of time! The software analyzes your songs and then writes them to your USB. Be sure you give yourself at least a few hours to let everything fully export.
Pro Tip: export onto at least two flash drives to be safe. You never know what could happen at the venue, so always have a backup or two of your set on hand.
2. Link + Loading Your Tracks
You get to the venue and finally see these beautiful CDJs. Drop in your flash drive – but wait, what now? How do you load a song? What is the deal with all these folders? Don’t panic!
Once you plug in your drive, your library will only appear on one CDJ. To access it from other CDJs, hit the Link button on other units and it will find your drive on the LAN connection. If Link doesn’t work, ask the sound engineer, and make sure the Cat5 cables are hooked up properly for linking them together.
Loading a track is simple on CDJs. All you have to do is use the scroll button to find what you want, and simply click down on it to load the track. If you need to go back into other folders for any reason, just hit the back button at the top right of the player.
The Pitch Fader’s Quirks
The CDJs provide endless opportunities to mix in creative ways. But for your first set, you don’t need to know all of these functions.The first important feature to know for mixing is where the pitch fader is. It’s right where you’d expect!
The pitch fader on the CDJs will allow you to find the BPM range you need for mixing into another track. Your BPM will pop up on the screen once you load a track. CDJs have “soft takeover” – so you won’t jump around in BPM if the fader is off. Instead it displays a message “Move fader to current BPM”, a good way to avoid a sudden jolt in tempo.
CDJs’ tempo faders also have a range that’s adjustable with the button above the tempo fader. You can keep it nice and small, or set it to “WIDE” for more dramatic changes.
Setting Cues
The most prominent and most used controls on the CDJs are naturally the play/pause and cue buttons at the bottom left of the players. Play/Pause is straightforward but it’s worth learning how the cueing system works on CDJs.
Once you place your cue and start to play, if for any reason you hit “cue” again, the song will jump back to where that cue was placed. For example: if the cue was placed at the beginning of the song, and you play 8 or 16 bars and hit the cue button again, it will jump back to the beginning – and pause the track.
Many DJs use this function to test out a new track as they’re bringing it in, tapping on the cue button in time with the downbeat to see if the songs are aligned and everything sounds good.
Loop Basics!

We won’t go too far into looping on CDJs, but it’s important to know how to set a loop quickly. This will vary my model, but on almost every CDJ the fastest way to set a loop is to hold down the LOOP IN button for a second. It will set a 4-count loop starting wherever you first pressed it.
If you want to quickly make it longer, tap the LOOP 2X button to double the loop size. You can do this multiple times for quick access to 8, 16, or 32 count loops.
Quantize: If you have Quantitize turned on, loops will always start on a downbeat. When you’re starting out, keep it on. You can always turn this function off once you’re more comfortable on the CDJs!
