Syncing Traktor Pro to Ableton 8

Needing to do loop-based DJing is a myth in Live. You can use full tracks just fine, and you don't miss sections. I've done it far too much to believe that.

And you don't need to record every audio track. I think that's your problem. It sounds like you're recording a full wav (possibly a 24/96 wav depending on how you have Jack configured) for each channel…something tells me that's where the bottleneck is, even if it's within a HDD manufacturer's benchmarks.

Also, try Sounflower…I've found it takes less resource overhead than Jack, and it works perfectly for me doing the same kinds of things.

It also sounds like you're doing your mixing inside Live with midi. If you are, you're probably going down to just 2 stereo pair out (cue and master). If that's the case and you want to record your set, create a new audio track and set its input as "Resampling." Then record with that. You won't get each individual track, and you won't be able to fix things later, because you're just recording audio…but if it works, it works. The "Resampling" just takes audio off Live's master output and sends it to the audio channel. So, you're writing 1 stereo signal to disk instead of 2 or 4.

It sounded from earlier posts like it's not working the way you're doing it. If I'm wrong about that, forgive me. But I haven't had problems like you described in the tests I did. But, I never tried to record all of the audio.

This ^. I route TPro into ableton (4 stereo channels), use 4 additional stereo channels of Live, a mess of fx on all of it, AND record a summed stereo track via resampling. No issues, and my specs are not exactly top of the line.

i dont have virtual output in my dd menu and im running traktor pro not traktor scratch pro
does traktors virtual output only come on scratch?

Hur?

In the following screenshots, do you have these options? If not, what version of Traktor are you running?
