How to use a microphone in traktor pro.

How to use a microphone in traktor pro.

Hi,

I currently use a vci 100 and audio kontrol 1 with traktor pro.
I have a standard PC mic, and i want to record my voice over mixes, like a short radio podcast or something.
So i am using a 3.5mm to 6.3mm (small to big jack) converter and plugging it into the line in on the ak 1, (not that massive inch diameter mic socket).
Is there a setting in traktor i need to select for my voice to be herd over the set?
I have been struggling for ages. I have a live gig comming up, and i have a small clip on microphone that i want to use. I was assuming that there was a microphone on/off button in traktor. Am i mistaken? I want my voice to be herd!
Can somebody help me?
Thank you very much.

AFAIK the mic function has been removed in TPro. I’d get a little submixer and run the mic and traktor through that.

What!!! This is Traktor PRO…P.R.O! Haha, NI if you are listning WHAT ARE YOU PLAYING AT!
Ok other than a submixer, is there a way of using ableton to rout the mic through? Possibly adding some filters (reverb) etc. (just thought of this).
Anyone got any experience doing something like that?

I guess their reasoning is that their target market doesn’t really use mics.

sorry to bump this ancient thread… but has there been any work around with a windows 7 machine on this issue?

i have an audio technica at2020 USB mic and would like to do some audio voice over during my traktor pro mixes. i also have ableton7 and would be willing to use both if necessary.

any guides or tuts out there? youtube is a mess and google hasn’t been my friend today

on a win7 you could probably use soundflower or something to direct audio from traktor into ableton, and have he mic running on a different channel

soundflower for windows? does that exist?

ugggh… why cant there ever be simple solutions for win7 x64 machines

traktor is aimed at club dj’s, and club dj’s dont really use mics

It’s possible and simple. You can use the audio through function to use a mic. This will cost you a deck in Traktor though. Let’s say you want to use deck D for your mic.

Go to Traktor settings.
Go to input routing.
Set the mic input of your AK1 to input channel D.
In the Traktor main screen, look at the letter D in deck D. There is a downwards pointing arrow beneith it. Click it and select audio through.
You’re done!

You can still use the fader and EQ of deck D for the signal coming from your mic.

Hope this helps…

You can run a mic through traktor you just have to set up your routing properly. Set your mic input to one of the decks. If you’re mixing on two decks you could set it to C or D. You can then switch the deck from internal playback to audio through. Your mic should then mix with Traktor.

+1 Audio through Deck D. I got an AK1. Do it all the time with my mic :slight_smile:

thanks for the suggestions everyone. i did see a vid on youtube anout the audio through trick on the C or D deck… but there’s a problem here.

traktor only recognizes one interface at a time.

i’ve got the following options:

USB Audio CODEC (2 in, 2 out)
High Definition Audio Device (2 in, 2 out)
Microphone (2- AT2020 USB)

only USB Audio CODEC works with traktor where i get sound coming thru my speakers (Alesis M1 actives). And when i go to Input routing, and select Microphone In 0 for channel D, and then swith deck D to audio thru, i get nothing but static, and no response from my actual AT2020 mic.

i’m guessing i need to get an actual Audio2 interface or something like that to act as the medium between my PC and my monitors. then that interface would also be sending the mic as well?

1.install asio (free download, just google it)
2.choose asio as interface in traktor
3. be happy and use all the devices connected at once!

Hi,

I have a logitech USB Mic and I whenever i put it in deck 4 on tracktor I get a horrible high frequency feedback noise especially when I turn the volume up.

I have set the sound to output through my audio 4 using an aggregat device. I have also tried running my mic through ableton but I still get the noise.

please could somebody help!
