Maschine in Traktor

[Bisimoto]

Hi DJTT!

didn't know where to post this so i guessed at this section of the forum!

i would like to use my maschine say.... in deck D of traktor! but haven't gotten it working! midi time clock is fine and everything but no audio in deck D coming

my question is how do i route my maschine to play audio in Deck D


thanks in advance!

I'd imagine that you'd need to use a program that would trick traktor into seeing the output of the machine software as an audio source and then setting that as deck D's input and setting the deck to audio through. Sadly I don't know such a program.

Why do you want to use a deck for the machine out of curiosity? Do you have more control over volume, eq, effects etc. in traktor compared to machine? I don't really know since I don't own a machine but I figured that software would give you better control over it.

What version of Traktor? If it's S4 here's a walk through

My version of Traktor Pro has a section on the options that says "Maschine" and you can do all the custom mappings there, I believe. Just set it to be whatever you want there. Does this not work?

What version are you using? Are you talking about Maschine having its own tab in the preferences window or just listed in the Controller Manager tab?

I'd like to be able to route Maschine directly through 'deck D' without DA/AD conversion (i.e. direct digital routing) .... is this possible?

... largely to solo/cue maschine to headphones while audition/programming Maschine patterns, as well using traktor FX, EQs, filters, faders etc ....

I think I mis-remembered, I thought there was a section in the preferences window for it.

I think the Maschine controller can just be assigned like any MIDI controller otherwise, if you want to use it to control Traktor Pro, however to use the Maschine software in conjunction I would just have Maschine to be set to an output of the soundcard that's not in use (or even the laptop's default speakers going to a mixer) synced up with the MIDI clock. I don't know why this wouldn't work, but I don't have Maschine, so I can't really give any specifics.

Sorry about that, I could swear there was a Maschine tab in the options to help with this sort of thing. When you installed Traktor Pro (the version that boasts the Maschine integration) was there a box or something for Maschine like the NI X1?

I didn't know there was such a thing ... does it really exist?

I know I can feed in an analog source into deck d, but I wouldn't call this 'integration' .... Specifically looking to make a digital link here ......

Sometimes I'm astounded by NIs ability to omit obvious features like this (or functional drivers for S4) ...

I mean for something like that, I would stick with syncing it over MIDI, and not worry about the arbitrariness of having Maschine be in a Traktor deck. You know what I mean? In a club, it can still go to a channel in the mixer, and be a deck, of sorts, and you can run Maschine in VST mode and use Native Instruments' Traktor effects pack they have, and just do that in your program of choice, if you really want those. Although, Maschine should be able to do anything Traktor can in the effects department, going from the overview and the videos.
