New to digital

Hi,

Trust your ears! I also use Traktor pro 2 and I was totally clueless and confused on all the things you mentioned. Keep it simple in the first moments since the software abilities will help you do wild things later on. You use cues as you did on vinyl so it will take some time to add those. Searching for great loops and marking them is also a great tool, since you see on your screen where the loop is marked on the track. Since you have vinyl mixing background I say again trust your ears, since all the fancy stuff will only help you out to do layers and all kind of fun stuff (if you wish to do it). I personally love the fact that you can add spices and layer tracks while doing a mix set. I have only scratched the surface off what potential Traktor pro have to offer so will keep an eye as well on the possible comments made here.
