Hey guys! Long-time lurker, first time poster.
I've got a funny question that is probably gonna get me a lot of flak from the diehards on this board, but hear me out first.
You know when you're DJ'ing a house party (or any party for that matter) and you get a request for a song that you don't particularly like, so you don't have it, but everyone wants to hear it? What do you do?
Well, I just pull it up on youtube. You can pretty much find any song you want there and play it on the spot. Best of all, you don't have to contaminate your library with shitty songs that you'll never personally listen to ever again.
What I usually do to transition from Traktor to youtube is do a freeze effect on whatever is playing in traktor and then hit play on the youtube clip.
This is problematic for two reasons though. (besides the obvious fact that it's ghetto)
1. My web browser does not run through my soundcard so I need an extra audio cable coming out of my computer.
2. I can't do any beatmatching/blending, only the freeze trick.
So, in the name of experimentation, is there any way to run a youtube video through one of the decks in Traktor (like through Deck C/D as a 'audio thru')? That way I could put a few effects on it, cue it up in my headphones for manual beatmatching, etc.
Thanks in advance!
