    Default Regarding routing ableton to traktor.

    I made a thread about this before, saw the posts and read the tutorials. What im wondering now is external mixing, how i'm i supposed to control the tracks volumes in traktor with my s2 when i have no control over them? Do i need to map something to ableton and control it from there? What about cue'ing my tracks on my headphones and all that?

    you need to (as mentioned above) map the faders in ableton live, to do this you will need another controller or need to have the S2 in midi mode (shift + shift). i am currently doing the exact same thing and am working on a midi mode map but i am not to good with the traktor mapping system so its gonna take a while, but afterwards i am hoping to achieve basic 4 deck control, jog fx, and the entire mixer section mapped to ableton live. hoping this all goes well of coarse keen to see what other responses get posted here.

    i guess you need to use the S2 in midi mode mapped to the controls in ableton - and use the HID mode for other traktor stuff. you'll need to do the headphone cue'ing in ableton if you're using external mixer mode in traktor.

    for cueing in ableton select a different output for "Cue Out" for your master output and then click on the "solo" button to turn it into a cue. simple

    Isnt that a lot of work to do live? I bought controllers to stay as far away from the pc as possible, can i map something for the cueing in ableton?

    Search "cueing in ableton" in good ol' google. First hit should help.

    If you're using Ableton and hoping to stay away from the computer, I've got bad news for you.

    it's only a one time thing - same as having to select audio setup in traktor. most things are mappable in ableton and get saved with the live set. so once u have it setup, map buttons on your controller to control the cueing (which is much simpler than mapping in traktor anyway) and job done... from then on it's midi all the way...

    The most intricate mapping in the world can't give you feedback on a controller, short of a Maschine. Mouse use =/= screenwatching.
