8.5.1. Dynamic Range
Each track has its own dynamic range. This means the maximum volume level of a single musical
element in a track can be way louder than the average volume of all musical elements together.
Besides the different average audio levels, the dynamic ranges between tracks can also differ.
That is why it is important to align the levels of the incoming audio signals to prevent them from
clipping.
The normal dynamic range for an audio signal is between no sound to nominal level (0 dB).
8.5.2. Clipping
If an audio signal clips, the gain of the audio signal is too high. An audio signal clips if it exceeds
the nominal level and also the headroom – normally at +6 dB. Then the audio signal starts to dis-
tort and looses dynamics and punch. Although the audio signal then seems louder, the entire au-
dio quality decreases significantly. This critical audio signal can damage ears and audio equip-
ment. That is why it is important to as well adjust the gain levels to protect ears and electronics.
To protect the audio equipment connected to the MAIN output stage, TRAKTOR uses an integra-
ted Limiter. The purpose of the Limiter is to prevent the signal from clipping by reducing the dy-
namic range.
However, the Limiter in TRAKTOR can be switched off.
We not recommend to switch off the Limiter.
8.5.3. Headroom
Before an audio signal starts to clip there is still a reserve to buffer transient audio peaks, the so-
called headroom. The headroom starts where where nominal level ends, at 0 db. It normally ends
before + 6dB.
However, you can configure the available Headroom for your Mixer channels in the Preferences on
the Mixer page, or you can entirely switched it off. Furthermore, you can let the Channel Level Me-
ters reflect the Headroom settings. For more information, refer to Preferences – Mixer Page.
8.5.4. Always Level Incoming Audio Signals
When you mix using the Auto Gain function, the incoming audio signals from the Decks are always
leveled by TRAKTOR automatically. This ensures none of your tracks dominate over the others.
The Auto Gain function is active by default. However, if you prefer to adjust the gain level by your-
self, i.e. when using an external Mixer or a controller with integrated Mixer, you can also deactivate
this feature in the Preferences. In this case you always have to make sure the audio levels always
stay in the area before clipping.
