Cant stream/broadcast digital with Traktor / DJM-850 + Shoutcast [Windows]

Since there are so many cons using an external/2nd soundcard using the line-in, to record or broadcast your audio, I want to do it digitally/internally.

So I used this video of DJTechTools to set it up:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7kXzUkVVcp8

In short the video, shows u to dedicate one channel on the DJM-mixer, where u put it to REC-out in the Pioneer Audio Utility, and making sure this one channel is setup as input on the Input-FX Send (Ext) in Traktor.

This actually does work to Record/Broadcast your audio in Traktor, but not when u want to broadcast using Shoutcast/Nicecast/external program.
Thanks to this thread, http://forum.djtechtools.com/showthr...l=1#post678912 , I found out u have to set REC-out on all Channels in the Audio Utility of Pioneer.

Next step, to broadcast, I've used Nicecast on my MacBook Pro;
Set source up to Audio Device/Pioneer DJM-850 and start broadcasting.
Works :thumbup:

But it doesnt when I'm using Windows on my main desktop pc. :thumbdown:

I've tried using the Winamp + Shoutcast DSP Plugin + Icecast server work-around, as described here:
http://www.kraftyradio.com/profiles/187/
I used this method for several dj-controllers in the past like the Kontrol S8, VCI-400 EGE, Numark 4Trak, and all worked.

But this time it wont with the DJM-850.
I get the info of the titles in Winamp and a split second of audio pops up I see in Winamp, and then audio stops.
I disabled virusscanner + firewall; still same.

So I tried using same setup, but instead of Input set to Winamp, I changed it to Soundcard / Pioneer DJM-850 (Line). But no sound coming thru.

I've tried BUTT aswell, but no sound either.

Who can a shine a light on this?
Why is it working on MAC and not on Windows?

Note 1:
I also dont have audio in another program (like a youtube in Chrome) when Traktor/DJM-850 is started. Neither I can play an audio-file with Windows Media Player for example at same time. I never had that issue with the other controllers mentioned before.

Note 2:
Yes, I renamed the Traktor64.exe and copied the 32-bit version, otherwise ASIO Pioneer DJM-driver wont show up in Traktor, as mentioned here: http://forum.djtechtools.com/showthr...l=1#post731157

Note 3 (versions used):
- Windows 7 64-bit / OS X Yosemite 10.10.5
- Traktor 2.10.2 9 / MAC and Windows
- Nicecast v1.11.8 on MAC
- DJM-850 v1.2 Audio-utility on PC, v1.0 on MAC
- Icecast2 v2.x + Winamp 5.666 + SHOUTcast DSP 2.3.5 on PC
- DJM-850 firmware v1.10

Update:

I've tried it on Macbook Pro with Windows 7 64-bit using Bootcamp, but same results.
I dont have a virusscanner installed here.
Used newer Icecast2 Server v2.4.3, but makes no difference.



I've tried BUTT on MAC OS X instead of Nicecast and that works too, setting Audio Device to Pioneer DJM-850. But when using BUTT on Windows setting it to DJM-850 (Line); no audio.

Can anyone owning a DJM-mixer and Windows try it out aswell with BUTT please?

Update 2:

The moment I close Traktor, the audio begins to come through @ Winamp/Icecast/Shoutcast DSP using Winamp input.
This is ofcoz just for a second or 3 since I closed Traktor and due delay I can hear the last part I streamed.

Seems like Pioneer's ASIO driver is locked when its in use by Traktor.
Like I mentioned I cannot even play a Youtube or Windows Media Player while I got Traktor open.

When I play a Video-file (with audio) on VLC and try a Youtube in between, that however does work.

Yeah windows keeps ASIO drivers locked and the device cannot be used by other software. If you are doing this on a windows desktop it's best to run the audio out of the mixer and into a line in jack on the PC soundcard using the windows drivers (usually WDM) rather than ASIO.

Sure, I could use the line-in thru 2nd soundcard, but that's what I'm trying to avoid.

Then again, I didnt have this issue with the ASIO drivers of the Vestax VCI-400 EGE, Novation Twitch, Traktor S8, Numark 4Trak, etc.
So it looks like, it's the combination of Traktor with the Pioneer ASIO driver, on Windows.

I have always thought that ASIO driver can only be used by one application at a time. This linked post seems to back up that theory http://music.stackexchange.com/quest...guitar-rig-plu

From what people are saying on there you can get multi-client ASIO that should do what you need

Hero of the day r08zy! It works thanks to you :thumbup:

Asiomulti didnt do the trick for me.
Neither did JACK.
Both failed in opening the DJM-850 ASIO driver / or crashed.

However, O Deus ASIO Link Pro did the trick!
It's 49,95 AUD though :huh: but atleast the demo showed it prolly worth it.

I'm wondering how stable it is while running this all together, but I'll try that out Thursday eve for 2 hours...
I'll add an update by then.

For those who might wanna know my settings to achieve a working work-around with ASIO Link Pro + Winamp + Shoutcast DSP:
