3.8.4.2 Combining Sounds of different Stem Decks
 
While the Stem Files are playing back on Deck A and Deck B, you can now perform the follow-
ing actions for  mixing both  Stem  Files. We  assume here that  the Stem  Parts of both  of your
chosen  Stem  Files  are  using  the  same  naming  and  coloring  scheme  e.g.  Stem  Part  1  for
drums, Stem Part 2 for bass, Stem Part 3 for melody, and Stem Part 4 for vocals.
Combining Sounds
To combine the Sounds of the Stem File on Deck A with the Sounds of the Stem File on Deck
B:
Slowly  move  Channel  fader  B  to  maximum  position.  Both  Stem  Files  are  now  audible  in  the
mix.
1. Lower  and  raise  the  Stem  Part  volumes  of  both  Stem  Decks  to  combine  the  sounds  of
both Stem Files.
2. Slowly move Channel fader A to the minimum position. You now hear the sounds of Stem
File on Deck B only.
 
3.9 Working with Beatgrids
 
TRAKTOR  recognizes  a  track's  BPM  precisely  and  sets  the  Beatgrid.  Some  tracks,  however,
need manual correction e.g. a track with a complex rhythm or with uneven timing, coming from
a tape machine or warped vinyl, and the S5 provides you with the controls to do this.
3.9.1 Checking a Beatgrid
 
To guarantee that all Tempo, Loop and Move controls work as expected, you will have to verify
the Beatgrid for your tracks:
