I've been using traktor for a good while and have often used autogain without any issues. However, i recorded an mix yesterday and noticed that my left channel was very muffled like it had an very tight compressor on it. What could cause it? First i thought there was something wrong with my monitors, but that was not the case.

After i restarted my traktor, i noticed that the channel was indeed set to +4.7db which was not visible before the restart. Is it possible that the autogain just somehow got stuck at such high volume amplification and applied some limiter on it while the view did not reflect it? Can this happen automatically somehow or have i just clicked something to set it myself without noticing? Does this happen often?

I usually dont need to touch the autogain much as i pre-process all my tracks through multiple softwares before they are added to my library.

The issue fixed itself after the restart, but im afraid it might happen again next time when im recording.

Hello,

I've been wondering if anyone has any recommendations on how to use cue point generator efficiently?

I've played around with it for couple days to try to get my trance/house collection in line, but the results of the auto cuepoint generator are very poor. These are genres i dont really play that often, but i'd love for them to be ready whenever i feel like playing them without spending days prepping them manually. My main library is all manually beatgridded very tightly, but it took me weeks to get there and im going through bit of an prep-exhaustion right now.

I am trying to figure out if the ultimate subscription is worth my time in the future, and so far it looks pretty bad. Currently the generator really struggles to finding drops and even first beat is lost to it some times. This eliminates a LOT of the options for using it. If i could get it to recognize the drop even 50% of the time, it would save me a decent amount of time while prepping, but currently its just not cutting it for me. I've tried it with various genres, and i feel like modern house oldskool trance are the genres that i would expect it to perform well at. I already gave up in even trying to get results with it with my dnb/breakbeat tunes.

So far, i've gotten best results just smashing cue points every 16 bars from the start, but i feel its bit excessive and even those need to be manually corrected every now and then. This saves a bit of time, but not enough to my liking.

Any tips on how to make the most out of it? What kind of templates you use?
