Sync between Traktor Decks & External Sources

[mofo]

Hi guys,


i have a 4 ch mixer and 2 pioneer cdj 800 player.

I have on my macbook the traktor software with a maya 44usb.

So i selected the Master Out to the mayas out 1, and the monitor out to the mayas out 2. And connected the maya outputs into the mixers input channel 1&2. And the two cdj are connected to the mixers ch 3&4.

My question now is, is it possible to connect the cdj players to the maya input, and sync a traktor deck with the cdj or so?
That a mixing between software & hardware is easy?

The only way you can do this is via MIDI. And Traktor can't be sync'd to something else, things can only be sync'd to Traktor, if I remember correctly. Might have to do this the old fashioned way

Ive read in the Traktor Manual that u can connect the CD-Player as External Source in the Audio Setup/Input Routing.

Connect the CD Player to a INPUT Signal, and route it to a Deck.. and then u can TAP the BPM, and it should sync...


but thats just what ive read..


will try it today later when im at home

but you're using a mixer, right? If you're trying to SYNC the decks, then I don't think you can just use audio input. I think it needs to be MIDI, or running through the multi-core cables (which you need the Audio8 to use) for Traktor Scratch. You can connect an external audio source, yes, but I don't think you can then sync them together.

Ok, but i can Tap the Speed of the external source, and sync the track from traktor to the speed of the external source.. the phase sync id do myself

You can tap it, but you'd need MIDI for Traktor to read it, I believe. I don't think this will be done via audio cables.

What you could do, though, is set a hotkey to tap the master tempo, so while you're tapping along with the CD traktor is reading it as the Master Tempo, and then you can sync everything to the master clock.
