The Bridge vs Syncing Traktor with Ableton

[S4racen]

Great post DigitalTiger. Unfortunately Max for Live is currently a paid download on top of Ableton Live, but well worth it if your are into customization. Also unfortunate is that there are no Max for Live plug-ins designed to be used with The Bridge. I recently contacted Serato about developing one but so far the response hasn't been what I expected. I'll contact Ableton about it soon though, hopefully they will be more helpful.

What was it you wanted to build? You can send midi to the Serato virtual output using m4l but there's no communication from Serato to live...

Fwiw I use Serato for straight Djing with a rane 62 and then control Ableton using touchable to launch clips and an apc40 for levels and looping....

Cheers

The mixtape is the only thing that Traktor don't have that Bridge does? What exactly does it do?


Also, for TP2 + Ableton users -
how do you work with both programs if you only see one of them on the screen? I mean, let's say you have Launchpad + S2, you mix with the S2 so you see Traktor on the screen. How do you work with the Launchpad without seeing Ableton?

And another question - Will Launchpad mimic the functionality of Ableton? I mean, it has no knobs so how will I control, for example the beat repeater?

As to your question about multiple programs, I use a desktop and have 3 monitors and it works out perfectly. If you have the option of doing that, I'd recommend it.
