DDJ-T1 possible to sync with APC40???

I have an Apc40 and the T1 also with the programs Ableton Live 8.2.2 and Traktor Pro 2.0.3.

My equipment the APC40, T1 and my Windows computer.
I don’t have an audio interface…do i need one?

I have see youtube videos of it. They are all in Mac OS, and none use neither of the controllers (APC nor T1), just the the programs.

I have run into a problem in Ableton when i try to switch my output to my ddj while tractor is on and says “Failed to open DDJ-T1 Line” are there any drivers that will help me combine MIDI controllers together?
If so which one?

My first question is is it even possible to sync both programs in Windows.
And is it possible while using both controllers (since they do have built-in sound cards) at the same time using the sync feature? If so how?

I really hope i can make them work together…
Any help will be appreciated
Thanks!!

not sure about combining the audio but you could try jack: http://jackaudio.org/

this talks about macs but uses jack so the same theory should apply to windows: http://blog.dubspot.com/traktor-to-ableton-live-how-to-route-audio/

and this is his page about how to sync the two up: How To Sync Ableton Live & Traktor | Video Tutorial by DJ Endo Blog | Dubspot

it talks about using a virtual midi port called “Traktor Virtual MIDI” which i don’t have so is either only on mac or maybe he set it up some other way that i missed… so i used a loopMIDI port instead.

main issue people seem to say is audio latency, which may or may not be a problem depending on how you mix.

edit: btw a much better title would have been “how to sync traktor and ableton live?” as i skipped this thread a few times as i dont have your controllers and it has diddly squat to do with synching up the controllers
