Suggestion for Improvement: Adaptive Timeline Visualization

Crann Beat

Dear Development Team,

I am writing as a regular user and professional DJ of Traktor Pro 4. I would like to share a suggestion that I believe could significantly enhance the user experience and the accuracy of live set preparation.

Currently, when using the flexible beatgrid to adapt to BPM changes in a track, the timeline display remains fixed in scale. As a result, in tracks with tempo variations, the beat markers are not equally spaced, making it difficult to preview and plan transitions effectively.

Proposal:
Implement an “Adaptive Timeline Visualization” or “Dynamic Beatgrid Scaling” feature. This functionality would automatically adjust the spacing between markers on the interface so that, regardless of the BPM changes in a track, the markers always appear equally spaced on-screen.

It would allow a clear and precise view of beat placements, making manual beatmatching and transition planning easier and it would reduce the need for manual corrections during track preparation and live performance.

I am convinced that this improvement would address a real need within the DJ community and significantly enhance the workflow for those of us who use your software daily.

Thank you very much for your attention. I am available to discuss this idea further or collaborate in any way that might be helpful.

Best regards, Carlos.
