Primes have no autogain - not possible in the process where players and mixer are separate devices. Autogain information is stored in the file if You use Traktor.The process of autogain in traktor is only a change of volume, no audio information is lost. When using a limiter - you can cut off some dynamics - that will alter your audio information.
I still theorise that the track is autogained, because post analysis the waveform looks completely different to the same file viewed in traktor. For want of a better description, the waveform has been visually stretched or autogained significantly.
(note that the process above is of the mp3 version of the timecode as I had forgotten to screen shot the process with my WAV file - which I did first. But what I observed was identical across both versions.)
As many of you know I recently closed the screen on my laptop and reverted back to playing vinyl for a couple of months. During my vinyl journey I was to play at a venue in Vancouver, but was not able, or did not want, to take a big bag of vinyl with me, so I started to re-visit the timecode.
I am not a scratch DJ, so I continued to use the records in the same way I always have and used them for controlling the deep house for long smooth mixes. I noticed that the mark 2 vinyls really held their timing a lot better. and I noticed how they were more responsive to the touch. Instead of having to deal with that frustration I explained above, they simply slowed down when I asked them to, causing me to spend less time getting the deck at the right speed.
Thank you. I supposed it was a mistake. I will check this item from time to time to compare with my preferences in traktor if the volume in mk2 is higher. I only have the mkI and I would like to know this parameter.
Timecode records are an amazing technology but sometimes their performance can be a fickle beast. DVS systems like serato and traktor scratch are subject to a wide number of variables including noise interference, cartridge quality and turntable calibration just to name a few. Its not uncommon to show up to a club and find one turntable is barely working with only a few minutes to trouble shoot before your set. For this reason I personally prefer the reliability of midi but turntable lovers must be able to diagnose timecode problems quickly and accurately. In this article Ranier, the author of the Traktor bible, will show you how to correctly identify almost all possible timecode problems.
If you are spinning with timecode then you should display the scratch panels for two reasons. One reason is that the scratch panel contains the RST button; this is the button you need to calibrate your decks with. The other reason is that scope view offers valuable information that can help solve timecode related problems.
To do this open the dialog Preferences/Deck Details and activate the Scratch Panels with the check box for the decks with which you are using timecode. Scratch panels are always activated for two adjacent decks (i.e. A&B, C&D). The visibility of the scratch panels can only be set in this dialog. Traktor does not provide a MIDI command to do this. The Scratch Panels setting is stored within the layout definitions.
Click the scratch panel to switch between vinyl view and scope view. In scope mode the scratch panel displays information about the signal that the timecode decoder receives from the turntable or CDJ player. And: Scope mode displays the most important button when using timecode: the RST button. Clicking the RST button calibrates the deck. More information about calibrating can be found further down.
The scope mode is an important source of information for detecting, analysing and solving problems with timecode control. The following table shows how the scope mode can look like and explains what to do to solve possible problems.
cant belive this works amazing. just tested a hware setup with my laptop instead of turntable once levels and sample rates were calbrated play pause on soundcloud was starting and stopping traktor. too cool..

The analog and digital worlds of vinyl and TRAKTOR can be successfully fused together with a just a bit of practise. Incorporate vinyl into your TRAKTOR sets is pretty easy, and by doing so, it allows you to flirt with the idea of playing vinyl, while still maintaining the flexibility and power TRAKTOR offers.
To connect the turntable to the mixer, plug in the RCA cables on the turntable to the Phono Inputs on the mixer or controller. Attach the ground wire of your turntable to the ground post on the back of the mixer. Set the Phono/Line switch of the same mixer channel to Phono.
Navigate to Output Routing and set the Mixing Mode to External. Set Output Deck A L to Analogue 1, Output Deck A R to Analogue 2, Output Deck B to Analogue 3 and 4, Output Deck C to Analogue 5 and 6 and Output Deck D to 7 and 8.
Next configure the Input Routing by setting the Input Deck A L to Analogue 1 and Input Deck B to Analogue 2. Next set Input Deck B to Analogue 3 and 4, Input Deck C to Analogue 5 and 6 and Input Deck D to Analogue 7 and 8.
The TRAKTOR KONTROL S4 gives DJs the option of integrating turntables and using them to play vinyl or control the decks with timecode vinyl. The mixer channels on the S4 allow you to connect up to two Phono level audio devices. A turntable that requires a separate Phono preamp has to be connected to mixer channel A or B. A turntable that has an integrated Phono pre-amplifier can be connected to any mixer channel. The tutorial below details how to connect a turntable without a preamp.
1/ Start out by connecting your turntable to the S4. Switch off the S4 and connect your turntable to the inputs Phono A or B on the rear panel of the S4. Attach the ground wire of your turntable to the ground post GND on the back of the S4.
2/ To let the Mixer channel receive the phono signal, you need to enable the phono pre-amplifier stage for the Mixer channel. Switch on the S4. Press and hold SHIFT on the S4 Deck you want to integrate the turntable to access the secondary Deck functions.
Another technique is to create a mix using two decks in TRAKTOR, and layer in the vinyl on top of this. If you want to avoid mixing in another digital file into the vinyl record, mix the vinyl channel out and let the two Deck mix in TRAKTOR play.
If you intend to use the same Deck to play both vinyl and digital files, be sure to check the Phono/Line/USB selector switch on the mixer channel is set correctly. For example, set the switch to Phono when you play a vinyl record and set the switch to USB (or Line, depending on your setup) if you want to play a digital file. Be sure to double check this setting before you mix in a track!
Another idea is to connect either one or two turntables to the KONTROL S4 and use channels C and D on the controller to play digital tracks in TRAKTOR. Channels A and B can be used to play vinyl, since these are the only two channels that offer Phono inputs. Have your friend mix in their vinyl record and then mix in another track in TRAKTOR. A jam session like this can be a great way to keep your beat matching skills sharp, especially if you usually using sync.
