Getting Xone 92 this week, right..

[Superfreak]

Okay people,

Just got my 1/4 adapters,

I have it set up like this..

x4 RCA from xone92 channels 1,2,3,4 to the 4 INs on audio 10,
3 Traktor Decks A, B, C.
Traktor deck D and channel 4 is Maschine.

Then one of the Return channels on Xone 92: 1/4 to RCA going to the master IN on the audio 10, and then the 2nd 'return' slots 1/4 to RCA to the master OUT of the audio 10.


Now, everything's playing sound okay, but how do I set this up in ableton? I dragged the plugin I would like to use into the session view 'drag audio effects here' session...

I've set 'audio 10' and my input and output in ableton preferences,

As long as my routing Is right with the audio 10 and xone92, then I'm just stuck with the ableton side, how do I now send my Maschine sounds or Traktor sounds to abletons FX,


Help please! Thanks guys :-)

[Superfreak]

I really need help with this people.. I have no idea how to do the ableton side of this...

[MrAybar]

Have you tried Soundflower????

[Superfreak]

What would I do with soundflower dude?

I was told I could achieve this with everything I already had :-(

Read this, I've explained everything here.

One note though, you'd better replace the audio channel for a Send channel where you put the FX and make a new Audio channel where the Audio from the AUX is coming in. And then you can use the sends to give sound over that channel. I'll make a screenshot of how I set it up because it's complex routing and you must be full aware of what you are doing.

Okay I must have not been doing it right,

I haven't connected any leads to any of the 2 'AUX' channels, the 'aux L R' slots wernt being used. I was just connecting 1/4 jack into both 'return' channels. Return 1 & return 2...

Okay so know I have got:

One of the xone 92's AUX channels 'AUX 1' going into the IN 3/4 of my audio 10... And then I have connected one of the Xone 92's return channels 'RETURN 1' into the 9/10 OUT of my audio 10...


I inserted a new AUDIO TRACK in ableton, set the AUDIO FROM to 'EXT. In' and underneath that I set it to '3/4'..

(There was no option to select 'audio from Traktor' ???

Now when I play deck A, I can see input coming in through the inserted audio track in ableton, and I dragged my delay plugin to that audio track, but cant hear any FX.

I also can't insert a SEND channel? I can only I insert a MIDI, AUDIO or RETURN track?

EDIT** Okay, I managed to get it going, just turning the Aux 1 knob on top of each channel, applied some effect to my Traktor tracks, but it sounds a bit muddy, what controls do what, like I know the mic/Rtn fader seems to send then channel into the plugin, but I can't get it to sound nice at all.

Muddy in what way? I'm not 100% familiar with the 92 but do the aux sends cut the audio from the track it's on? If not, then it most likely sounds muddy just because it's a blend of both the dry signal through the mixer AND the wet coming back from Live.

If that's not your issue, it could just be with how your effects are tuned in Live.

[Superfreak]

I don't know it just sounds not so clean, maybe I need to get used to the plugin more to get the parameters set RIFGT before sending my track into it...

I had it workin last night, but now it's decided to stop working :/

Also, I want to add a reverb plugin, so do I just create a new audio track and set the audio from > ext. in and my audio 10 channel that my send is plugged into, then drop the reverb plugin into that audio track, so then the aux 2 knob will be the reverb and my already set up delay is on my aux 1 knob... ?

Here's a screenshot how I've set it up for a friend of mine.



One thing, you must put the knob at the Return channel which says Off, Duck and On to On.

So here's the routing:

AUX 1 L/R going into Traktor Audio 10 MAIN In;
Traktor Audio 10 MAIN Out going into Return 1 L/R.

In Ableton, raise the Sends for the FX you want to full in channel Xone 92 AUX. And then, if you have the Return Fader on the Xone 92 up, and on a channel where music is playing twist the AUX 1 knob (on top), you must hear FX.

Maybe one day I can make a movie of how everything is working... I thought it was so complex when I saw a couple of DJ's utilizing it, but I've figured this out for myself. So, it's not that difficult!
