First post on this forum.
Love the site, you guys have already given me more help than anyone else on the web, and I hadn't even registered yet. But I'm finally getting to that point where my troubleshooting is too specific to search. Either I'm too stupid to figure some things out, or I've overestimated the capabilities of my software and hardware.
Be aware that I'm not a producer, and I'm barely a dj. I'm just an ex jam band sound nerd that hopes to achieve the status of both dj and producer. I'm still in my learning stages.
Computer: 64-bit Windows 7 Laptop (And I'm not too keen on trying to get OSX to run on it just to use mac applications like soundflower.)
Software: FL Studio 9, Traktor Pro 2, Ableton Live, and a Demo version of Reaper that I'll upgrade if I can get it to do what I want.
Goal 1: To run Traktor Pro 2 with my S4 controller, WHILE mixing, sampling, and looping live VSTs from FL Studio 9 and/or Ableton live, in sync.
I have a demo version of Reaper, because I heard great things about it's rewire capablities, but I haven't had much success using it with Traktor Pro 2. Is TP2 compatible with reaper's rewire yet? Because everything I found on the web about it was from around 2008, and everyone was complaining about traktor not supporting rewire.
I've been toying around with FL Studio and Ableton for ages now with little to no hardware use, and I got into traktor little over a week ago, I'm very satisfied with all 3 programs, I just need advice on how I could integrate them to work together for live production/remixing
My second goal is a lot noobier, and I'm aware that belongs on the image-line forum, but I have a grudge against posting there, and FL Studio is basic enough that someone has to know.
Goal 2: When Running FL Studio, and using a synth pluging such as Toxic Biohazard on a usb midi controller, I want to be able to switch the controller to another synth (like Toxic Biohazard over to Sytrus, etc) without having to use my mouse to highlight it in the step sequencer.
It's been bothering me for ages that I can midi map just about EVERYTHING in Toxic Biohazard to controllers, but I can't map buttons for switching even the default asdfg keyboard to a different synth without clicking it in the step sequencer.
