    That would be great but it couldn't really happen without NI. I'm sure you could make a wrapper of some sorts but you wouldn't be able to use control vinyl with it because it only allows for one soundcard. To use control vinyl, it has to be a Traktor certified mixer. To get around that I've heard is possible but you would have to do that plus make a wrapper for it. It would be less trouble using sound flower/ jack server /aggregated audio.

    Has ANYONE ever got JACK working in Windows to route audio from Traktor to Ableton???

    Anyone???

    'Cos I tried a couple of years back (but with DJ Decks) and it was practically impossible...

    If I could get this working (Traktor > Ableton) I would be a happy guy!!!

    From my little experience, it's not the routing which is the most annoying (well it IS annoying) but the fluctuation of the midi clock that makes most of the VSTs unusable

    There’s also an almost hermetic community that exists in many areas of dance music, where serious hobbyists feed off each other’s expertise but barely connect to the industry – despite many of those involved actually working in it.

    That is where Mad Zach has a solution:

    MAD ZACH’S ON-THE-FLY SYNCING SECRET

    Unfortunately, MIDI is an antiquated format and syncing MIDI clocks is not always a very reliable solution. To compensate and prepare for MIDI mishaps (mostly the two softwares getting off sync), I’ve built in a very convenient delay which I put on the Ableton bus (the track I have all my other tracks routed through). It’s essentially a simple delay set to free mode (not sync) with the dry/wet turned up to 100% and the feedback at 0%. I then have a knob assigned to the delay time, effectively creating a track delay (which is normally disabled when receiving external MIDI sync). This knob does the same thing that MIDI offset does in the preferences, but is much cleaner live and does not cause any system glitches.

    On Mac maybe, not on pc (ie using a generic midi output and not traktor virtual output) unless I'm wrong. And I'm not talking about drifting, but really about serious fluctuation.
    Are YOU able to do it on pc with a stable midi clock?
