is this possible?
toying with getting an apc20 and ableton and was wondering if it's possible to run the ableton audio in traktor?
i know it can be done traktor into ableton, but i want to go the other way round and use traktor decks/effects for final mix down - thinking as traktor has 'thru' options on the decks it should be workable?
running windows 7, 2ghz processor, 2gb ram on a dedictaed traktor boot that currently hardly touches any of my system resources
Its possible, you basically follow the tutorials that we have availible in reverse, route the audio into a single deck and set the audio of that deck to audio though.
Personally though i think Traktor -> Ableton is about a 100 times better than Ableton -> Traktor, but your free to setup your system how you wish.
i thought that would be the case, but wanted to check, however does it have to all of abletons audio into one deck?Quote:

(should've put that in the opening post)
dj first, producer second, figure i'll get on better doing the bulk of the mixing/effects that way, lose patience with DAW programs after a while, lot's of ideas, get annoyed programming themQuote:

this is a pure production only thing, not planning on bringing ableton into the dj side of things
No it doesnt have to be ALL of abletons audio into one deck, i assumed you were going to use this for djing which would be the best approach (for most people anyway).
If you wanted to have the 8 chans split up between 4 decks you would have to internally mix the 8 tracks down to 4 channel in ableton before sending these 4 channels off to the 4 channels of Traktor.
To be honest though Traktor doesnt make a very good production environment (but then again i was a producer before also became a dj).
i'm trying to find a method that allows me to do things in real time with an interface i'm used to.Quote:

when i get round to buying the apc i'll let you know how it goes :D
u talking apc20 still?
looks like they keep pushing back the due date on that...it was 3/16 now its 4/16
yeah i know, gives me time to consider other options
I been thinking about getting an apc 20 actually
i'm not so sure about apc now, spent the last 5 hours doing the LED thing for hot cues with my mate on his APC 40
But we cracked it!!
and without additional software
we've got;
ins;
Select/Set+Store Hot Cue
Send Monitor State - invert on
outs;
Hot Cue State [x]
Controller range @ -1 for min and max
midi range at 3 (min) and 4(max)
invert and blend off
now it flashes red if no hot cue loaded, and solid red if a hot cue loaded, and turns green when you press it :D
so maybe will still get the 20, gonna be just ableton anyways
Hey brad, can you post how you got the LED's to light up as described? I've been having a hack without much luck and hoping someone would show me the way...
