Snapping to the Beats
You don’t have to worry about being precise enough to set a HotCue directly on a beat; by de-
fault, TRAKTOR will make sure this happens automatically. This is because the Snap mode is
on, indicated by the lit
S
button located in the top-mid on the S8:
The S button on the Mixer.
With Snap mode on, any HotCue you set in the track will snap to the closest beat, thus ensur-
ing that recalling a CuePoint will always trigger a downbeat.

Aligning Tracks using HotCues
Aligning both tracks is straightforward:
1.
Make sure that Deck B is playing.
2.
When you hear a downbeat in the other track, press the pad with the HotCue you just
used to store the downbeat position.
→
The playback position on Deck B jumps to the stored Cue Point, and the playback contin-
ues from there. Both tracks now are perfectly aligned and ready to be mixed.
Sticking to the Beats
Again, you do not have to worry about pressing the pads with HotCues exactly on the beat: by
default, TRAKTOR will make sure that the beats of both tracks are synchronized and that the
jump does not ruin the beat matching. This is because the so-called Quantize mode is on, as
you can see by the lit
Q
button located in the top-mid on the S8.
