@PhillRenyard:
In Traktor in “Preferences” the option Keylock HiQ is chosen (standard ‘out of the box’), I didn’t change that.
Is that okay and what you mean?I tried some other things in the BIOS and installed Windows all new (from the installation disc), and will let you guys know in the coming days what I found out.
Jeroen DarteeParticipant@DJ Vintage:
Thank you for giving feedback about Pitch’N Time. It sounds good in Serato I understand, but I don’t own Serato (yet) and changing software isn’t my first choice at the moment, even though my Reloop Terminal Mix 4 is originally designed for Serato.
So what to do about Traktor? There should be a way to use the Time Stretching procedure in Traktor without a problem.
For now I will stay within the 5% range. Thanks for confirming!Jeroen DarteeParticipant@Hanginon:
Thank you for your response. It is good to know I’m not the only one experiencing this and that my problem with Traktor 2.11 has a name: Time Stretching. It is true that when I change the tempo more, the sound becomes worse.
I experience this even within the 2% range, but maybe my ears have become sensitive to this after I noticed it.
I believe the degradation is noticeable DJing live, since I experienced this during the end of my last performance, but nonetheless how do other DJ’s deal with this? I don’t think they change the Tempo of each entire song by using other software like Audacity so they can use it in Traktor, but I’m sure you don’t believe this either. It is a good workaround though for emergencies and small pieces. I own Ableton Live 9 Suite, which also has the ability to change the master tempo after warping so probably no need to use Audacity, but thanks for the tip.
Interesting to know that Serato has the Pitch’N Time plugin, but I think Traktor should also be able to reach the same quality of sound while changing tempo, because many professional DJ’s use Traktor. I wonder how they acheive this. Your response concerning Serato´s Pitch’N Time and it using a lot of the CPU, makes me wonder whether my CPU, which should be good enough, is actually working at full speed all the time. I’ll have to find out how to check this and improve this if needed, but I’m not completely sure whether that will fix the problem. Maybe it does.
I’m interested to know whether this problem occurs with Apple laptops? Can anyone tell me?
-> Thanks again for your help. I’ll keep you and everyone interested posted.July 7, 2017 at 6:12 pm in reply to: Returning DJ from the Netherlands, always ready to share and learn #2585491Jeroen DarteeParticipantThank you Dj Vintage and Terry_42,
I most certainly feel welcome here at the forum! Hopefully I can contribute here and there. Awesome that you guys connect and help DJ’s around the world!
Some more about me:
I would like to point out to DJ’s in my area in the Netherlands, who might be interested to get in touch with me, that I like mixing all kinds of modern electronic dance music: Progressive House, Trance, Dance, Club, some Techno and Tech-house. I would be greatful for any opportunity to mix back to back, simply practise together or share good music.
Thank you to everyone reading this.
Great weekend to you guys!Jeroen DarteeParticipantI had never heard of Ghetto Funk, Nu-Funk and Electro Swing, so I looked it up on Soundcloud a bit. Definately a more slower musicstyle (100 – 115 BPM?) than dance for instance. Listening to it is like branching out for me . So you could say I’m not very familiar with your style of music. Interesting that you can DJ this style at your company. I would come and listen to your music for sure, at the very least just to get familiar with it.
Oh, and 5 pm till 6 pm sounds ideal to me, but I’m sure you sometimes DJ later at night as well.Jeroen DarteeParticipantThat’s what I mean. From one gig comes another one if you play & mix well.
Berlin sounds really good. It looks like you enjoyed your time there, apart from the snags then.
Must looks good on your DJ resume.
I know Purmerend, friends of my folks live there. Not too far from Amsterdam. Are you going to ADE Next, the conference for upcoming DJ’s and producers? I was too late to buy a ticket. I have visited ADE Next twice though over the last 4 years, so it’s okay to miss out on this year’s event.
About your weekly DJ-ing on Friday’s at Flavour: Do you play at night or during the day? What kind of music do you play?Jeroen DarteeParticipantJust a note:
There are also some little musical experiments I put on Soundcloud:
Enjoy listening!
Jeroen.
Jeroen DarteeParticipantHi there Alaskan,
Great to hear there are many Dutch folks on the forum and thank you for welcoming me!
If I may ask: What city are you from and what kind of music are you into?
I just read your forum about starting out every Friday at your company Flavour. Sounds good I must say.
Hope it is a good experience and more gigs or contacts come out of it.For myself, I just put 2 mixes of mine on Mixcloud:
Maybe you and other guys are interested in listening to them.
Have a good day!Grtz,
JeroenJeroen DarteeParticipantHello DJ Vintage,
my E-mailaddress is showing in my replies. Could you please change it to “DJ Petro Retro’?
Dont know how to do it. Thanks!Jeroen DarteeParticipantHey guys,
My name is Jeroen, I’m 42 years old and am also known as DJ Petro Retro.
I’m from Delft in the Netherlands (near The Hague) and am new to this forum.
I would love to come into contact with a fellow DJ from around the same area. Maybe to get together, share and mix music with each other.
House/dance/progressive and trance is what I mostly like.
I have made 15 DJ mixes of 80 minutes long over the last couple of years which are very much welcomed by my friends.
I haven’t performed live since 1995 but am trying to make a good start digital.
The past year I have been trying to create my own music with Ableton Live 9 and an AKAI Ableton Push controller but am not at a professional level yet.
I mostly have worked on my own at home, but really miss that fellow DJ contact.
Anybody interesting to share thoughts or meet up with me?
Love to hear from you.Greetings!
Jeroen. -
