Hey guys, my name's Jeremy Lim and today we're working with loops and cue points
in Traktor DJ for the iPad.
Cue points are markers that help us jump to specific points in tracks. In Traktor DJ,
regular cue points appear in blue, as seen below, while loop cues appear in green. As
their name implies, loop cues jump to a section of a track and repeat a loop.
To set our own, let's start by deleting our existing markers and start over fresh.
The first step is to set a loop. To do that, use two fingers to tap on the range you would
like repeated. Once the loop is set, call up the cue menu, and tap on an empty cue slot.
From here, you're free to navigate the track and can recall the loop by tapping the new
green marker.
It should be noted that your loop will be recalled at the length you set it at, so if
we adjust the length and recall the cue point ... it starts back to the length we set it.
This has some really neat performance applications. For example, we can create our own beat repeater.
If you're more adventurous, you can combine loop and regular cue points to remix tracks
on the fly.
And that's about it. Before we wrap up today, don't forget that the quantizing grid changes depending on your zoom level, so if your loops aren't locking in they way you'd like
them to be, adjust your view by pinching or pulling the track's wave form.
Thanks so much for tuning in, and if you enjoyed the video, don't forget to rate, comment,
