How To Save A Loop In Traktor Pro 2
Hey - I'm a Traktor novice. I'm trying to make manual loops (not snapped to grid) and having no luck. I'm running Traktor Pro 3 on a 13' MBP. I know there's issues with displaying IN/OUT - I mapped Decks and B in the Configuration manager so I can set loop in/out points with my keyboard so that's fine (though is there a way to map Decks C and D to the keyboard?). TRAKTOR PRO 3.3.0 integrates Pioneer's XDJ-1000MK2 and XDJ-700 as well as the new DJM-V10 mixer. In addition, it comes with a comprehensive integration of the macOS Catalina Music app. New Features.
HOTCUES AND LOOPING
In this last section, you will get started with hotcues, which allow you to move swiftly between different positions in the track. Additionally, you will learn how to set and trigger loops.
DEFAULT HOTCUE
The first hotcue is always the beginning of the track. It is stored for you by default and is stored in the white-illuminated pad. Press the pad to get back to the start of the track playing.
SETTING AND TRIGGERING HOTCUES
Listen to the track for a bit to find another great point and hit an unlit pad to store a second hotcue. The pad turns blue to indicate a new hotcue. To trigger a hotcue, press a blue pad. The playback position jumps to the hotcue position in the track and continues playback. You can set several hotcues and play them by hitting the blue pads.
ENABLING A LOOP
To enable a loop at the current position in the track, press the LOOP encoder. To increase or decrease the loop length, turn the LOOP encoder. You can set the loop length to anything between 1/32 of a beat to 32 beats by turning the encoder.

STORING AN ACTIVE LOOP
Once you have activated a loop, you can store it so it’s ready to be triggered again later. To store an active loop, press any unlit pad. In case you ever want to delete your loop, just press SHIFT and the pad. You can now retrigger your loops by hitting the green pads.
