I want to map it so that the EQ kills are cues. I have downloaded suitable maps…

You may be interested in a new map I uploaded earlier this afternoon. Get it here.

…however I dont know how to remove the old map and apply the new one. (Im using Traktor LE but I am expecting delivery of Traktor Pro 2 tomorrow)

OK, you won’t be able to do it in Traktor LE so you’ll have to wait until you get Traktor Pro.

When you get Traktor Pro and you want to remove the installed mapping just go here in the “Controller Manager” section of the settings dialog:

To load a new mapping just go here:

Also, when beat matching 2 songs, I don’t want to get into the habit of just using the sync button. At the moment I slide the pitch faders until the BMP’s shown on Traktor are roughly equal (they never match up exactly, not sure why?). Is this this the only way to do it, or is there a better way?

I would suggest you do as I’m doing and try to learn to beatmatch by ear rather than doing it visually. I’ve found this video to be really helpful.

Either reduce the pitch faders’ range or remap some of the buttons on the controller to fine pitch control.

WOOOO this has saved my life 🙂 thank you!
