Record mix with Audacity

[Schalenberg]

Aggregating your internal on-board sound will give you an additional stereo input/output for your aggregated audio device. You can continue to use the CDJs to output sound while using the Macbook's audio socket to record from.

That just sounded like Chinese to me lol. How would I aggregate my internal on-board sound? That same way I aggregated the CDJs? Thanks for your patience, makar. Really trying to get to the bottom of this.

Follow this guide, but also include the "Built-in Input" into the aggregate device in addition to the two CDJs.

[Schalenberg]

Aggregated the CDJs and clicked the Built-In box in the aggregate section, along with the 2 CDJs. Still nothing.

Anyone else have an idea of what I'm doing wrong?

[makar1]

What devices do you have in the Aggregate, and what are your Traktor Input Routing and Mix Recorder settings?

[Schalenberg]

Got it to work! When I had selected both CDJs along with Built-In Input as my aggregate devices, somehow Built-In Input got unchecked (probably my fault) when I loaded up Traktor. Back in business. Thanks, makar! Let me buy you some waffles or something one day.

So I finally decided to record a mix last night, but I ran into yet another problem. In Output Routing, when I selected Internal mixing (Channel A - 1/2, Channel B - 3/4) both decks came out of one single channel. So I selected External mixing and everything worked fine. Once I chose External mixing, I then chose the Internal source for the Mix Recorder. Didn't get any signal coming out of either deck in the recorder. I then switched it to External source for recording. When I listened to the sample of how it would sound, I heard all my surroundings, not just the mix. It sounded like I was recording my mixer with the Talk Boy from Home Alone. WTF?!

Sounds like you're using your microphone rather than your Line In. Check your aggregate device and your audio port settings.
