Also, it's worth noting that I don't have this issue with Maschine.

Jack (the Jack Audio Connection Kit) is a low-latency audio server, written originally for the GNU/Linux operating system, and now with Mac OS X support. It can connect any number of different applications to a single hardware audio device; it Starting in version 0.88, it also routes MIDI to/from any OS X application.

Jack is different from other audio server efforts in that it has been designed from the ground up to be suitable for professional audio work. This means that it focuses on two key areas: synchronous execution of all clients, and low latency operation.

Thanks, but how would it help in my situation when I have enough outputs on the card? My issue is the software crapping out if it's not the focus window.

I had the same problem with my db4 and traktor and ableton. the thing that went wrong with my setup is it went wrong when i connected push to the hub in my d2, audio went bad up to the point i had to restart the db4, after i connected the push directly to my laptop i never had the problem again, same problem with my arturia sparkle, connected to the d2 hub it fck up the audio, connected directly to the laptop it was all ok...so maybe worth to check this out

One thing I didn't do is power the Push. I will need to test that.

I tried running traktor and ableton at the same time in the past, never got it functioning quite how I wanted. I think if you run it using independent soundcards it will workout much better for you.

jack route audio by software with only one sound card on all your soft in same times plus that solv probleme with latency etc .. i use it that's work for me http://djtechtools.com/2008/05/16/sm...ableton-4-mac/

I use ableton, maschine and traktor together on the db4 soundcard, apart from the problems with push interfering the signal somehow it works like a charm

Thanks, but I don't wan to route Ableton to a Taktor deck. I've got six channels on my mixer and five stereo channels on my audio interface. I've got a few other things to try and resolve this, including slapping another NI audio interface in there.
