    Default Z2+TraktorDJ

    Anyone experimented with this yet? For those of you that have put this (or similar) combo together / how's it going? What do you like about? What's frustrating you?

    For me it's really about the interface. TSP is starting to feel like that tuned up Astra with the "sports" exhaust, wide wheel arches, high performance spoiler and all the other stuff that makes it "better" but maybe a little cluttered with too many bolt-ons.

    Also.. I noticed in the documentation that the s4 audio interface is not supported as an external device for TDJ as its proprietary and not class compliant...interesting.....

    Can you use the mixer section of the Z2 with TDJ?

    Interesting. So the Z2 can be used in External Mode with the full Traktor Pro too?

    I dont' know why you would do that, though, the Z2 works pretty well with Scratch as it is.

    Unless there have been some changes since then? Did the recent update bring proper mixer capability to the Z2?

    As I understand it, it will work like any other EXTERNAL mixer.

    You will not be mixing internally like with a controller.

    You route the audio to the mixer and the mixers hardware controls the sound.

    It is not a midi controller when used this way.

    My SA mate is correct. In the new update of TDJ you can set up external mixing mode. Add one of these and you can then hook up any class compliant audio interface.

    These are compatible:
    • TRAKTOR AUDIO 6 with firmware version 47
    • TRAKTOR AUDIO 10 with firmware version 48
    • TRAKTOR KONTROL Z2 with firmware version 42
    • KOMPLETE AUDIO 6 with firmware version 45 (powered USB hub required)

    (These are just the NI units that NI states support for on their site)
    These are NOT supported:
    • TRAKTOR AUDIO 2
    • TRAKTOR KONTROL S4
    • AUDIO 2 DJ
    • AUDIO 4 DJ
    • AUDIO 8 DJ
    • AUDIO KONTROL 1


    - Interesting that the Kontrol S4 is listed as not supported but no mention either way regarding the S2. Also makes you wonder other code is knocking around with the S4 drivers that prevent this from being support - possibly the same code that caused people problems with audio glitches.

    A good intro video on YT:
