Not sure if this is possible, but thought I would check if anyone else has got this working.
I want to run the following through traktor: technics that I want to run on timecode vinyl through an audio 8, a djm 2000 which i want to run through traktor using usb, and 2 cdj 850s over usb as controllers. So ideally wanting the djm and audio 8 to work simultaneously.
I have also heard there is a hack that allows non traktor certified mixers to register in traktor as certified. Would this remove my need for the audio 8 and therefore allow me to run the technics directly through the mixer?
Ideally I want 4 decks running in traktor, 2 on timecode vinyl (technics) and 2 via controller (cdj 850s), so if none of the above can achieve this would i be better off ditching the audio 8 and djm 2000 and replacing these with a djm 900 or 2000 nexus?
Well, the easiest way is to run the Technics and CDJs into the audio 8 and then to the DJM. This way you will have 4 decks of timecode, which the Audio 8 supports.
im not a 100% on this but i think you cant run 2 soundcards at the same time in traktor. you either pick either one; either connect all audio source/controller to your mixer or audio 8.
Thanks guys, but I want to run the cdjs as controllers, with the technics running through timecode, so running the cdjs through the audio 8 wouldn’t allow this.
I tried to aggregate the sound cards, but didn’t have much luck. Anyone have any tips or tried this before?
If you want a mixer that can perform the role of the Audio 8, you’ll need to switch to a DJM 850 or 900. The DJM 2000/2000 Nexus sound card is very limited in comparison.
Thanks guys for your responses. I have tried an aggregate device, but I lose the timecode function when i select it in traktor. I am thinking it’s because the djm 2000 isn’t scratch certified?
makar1 (or anyone else around ), do you know if the djm 850 or 900 allow me to run 2 devices as controllers (cdj 850s) and 2 devices through timecode (sl1200s) simultaneously? I can’t find anything online that mentions a set up like this. My kontrol s4 allows something similar, with decks a and b running on the s4 and decks c and d controlling the timecode.
If the above is possible, I guess I’ll have to get rid of the djm 2000 and my audio 8 and switch it to a djm 850 or 900.
If you want to use the CDJ as a controller over usb, are you sending the sound out through the cdj? (using them in hid mode with Traktor)? This would mean you need to aggregate 3 sound cards, which is a no go!
Is there a particular reason you don’t want to run everything through the audio 8?
You could sell your audio 8 and djm 2000 and get a djm 900 instead. One usb cable from your laptop to your mixer is a very practical solution, but if you go to a club that has a djm 800 you’re screwed!
What do you mean by “2 devices as controllers”? Why not just use your CDJs with time coded CDs?
With the dim 900 or with your audio 8, you can use 2 x 1210 with time coded vinyl, and 2 x cdj with time coded cd, to control 4 decks in Traktor. Isn’t this what you’re trying to achieve?
