Need urgent help with audio setup!

[DemiAlex]

Is it possible that you have the Delay effect buttons on??? Button 2 is a "freeze" effect. Sry idk how familiar u are with traktor.
Volume faders up? Gain up?
Btw don't turn everything up max.. You could at least scare the crap out of yourself when u get signal.. Or at worse blow the speakers.
Lol please let us know how/when u solve the problem.. I'm interested

I've double checked everything, and I don't leave my effects on when traktor starts (don't think they turn on anyways upon startup).



My controller is DEFIANTLY connected to the amp, I did a soundcheck with the MC3000 soundcard as the primary and it made the 2 test beeps fine. However, when a skype contact came online, it went through the amp aswell, but no sound comes from traktor. So the issue is in with the mc3000 soundcard being used for windows, not traktor.


How do I deselect my controller as my windows soundcard? This way, the only program using my soundcard is traktor itself, not additional programs in windows. I think this is the route of the problem.

See... O.E. Dude, if you put half the energy into solving your problem that you put into trying to get other people to help you solve your problem, it'd be solved.

I don't know what O.E. is, and put half my energy? Yeah not only did I do that, but I also cashed in over a bill for cables and adapters and the likes just to connect a simple speaker system onto my controller...


Yes, I am not TECH savvy sorry about that.

You've already "proven" that your signal flow works through your mixer from your computer, so there's no reason why you shouldn't be able to get this to work. I'm guessing the answer in is either in your Traktor Manual or your MC3000 manual and as you're obviously not Tech Savvy, you're unable to intelligently ask the right questions or give us enough information to help you. BTW O.E. is Operator Error. I'm not bashing but there's a serious deficiency in your audio knowledge that you should try to rectify before proceeding with this "hobby".

I just read this entire thread....SMH First off thre are a few other things that can be the problem...

1. Do you have the right decks selected on the 3000? You need to make sure you are on Deck A and Deck B and that it is routed correctly in the Traktor Audio routing. Also that Traktor is set for internal mixing.

2. Do you have just audio selected and not video? The crossfader can control both audio and video and even if you don't have anything video hooked up if you don't have the 3000 set right and its on video nothing may work. If video is selected whatever audio settings were there before will always stay, so you may think you are doing everything right but the 3000 may be inadvertanly set to output decks C & D. Make sure the crossfader is in the middle, make sure you are controlling audio.

If you are seeing audio on the meters of the 3000 then you know audio is coming in and there is something preventing the audio from coming out. Most likely it has to be something on the 3000 that is pushed or not set right. I also see there is a deck/master switch. I don't know what thats about but you should be online downloading the manual and reading it front to back.

I hate to say it like this and I don't mean to sound mean but, if you can't figure this out, then yea, it may be time for a new hobby because this is basic DJ stuff. You need to learn your gear and know what every button does because somewhere on that controller something is keeping sound from reaching the outputs. I had a gig yesterday where I literally had to switch soundcards in the middle of the gig. I had to pull wires out, change the preferences in Traktor and did everything without anyone even knowing, without the music stopping. (this is where my NDX 800 came in) If you can't solve this simple problem at home, how do you expect to be able to handle any trouble shooting when you play a gig?

I may not know much about the technicalities of audio, but EVERY suggestion posted here are just pointing to the most obvious.

"Is Deck A selected?" - Yea... OBVIOUSLY...

"Is the track even playing?" - What? Yes, the track is playing...

"Is your crossfader in the right position?" - Yes... jesus...

"Is your controller soundcard even selected as the primary?" - OBVIOUSLY

"Are any of your effects on?" - No...

All of these suggestions are just plain obvious and not helpful at all. YES, it is my fault that I have not researched further into the technical aspects of audio, but come on, seriously? "is the track even playing?" come on bro.


The only member here that seems to know exactly what the issue is fullenglishpint, windows is using my controller soundcard as its primary and is not letting any sound come out from traktor. If YOU actually read my post, this is CLEARLY the issue...

No.. your controller SC most def should be your windows soundcard.

The reason people are asking you what would normally be routine, simple, basic questions is because your initial post makes you come off as a newb. Nobody here has any idea about your experience level, so they're starting off with the basics. I understand your frustration but, again, if you spent more time actually researching your issues yourself and less time bashing the members for asking you basic questions that you haven't provided, you probably would've figured out the issue yourself.

My apologies, my intention was not to bash anyone or induce any negativity.



I actually had no idea the technical aspect of audio was an absolute necessity.

I think the problem is this problem isn't especially technical. For years I had no idea about balanced/unbalanced signals etc etc..... BUT I could still hook up all my gear.

If that's the issue is the problem solved? It'd be a strange one if that's the case, I've had my soundcard set as my primary soundcard in OSX (controlling itunes) and also controlling Traktor. No issues.
