Maschine to KRKs.

Appologizing in advance incase this has been covered, however I have not been able to see or find the post. I was wondering how can I connect my Maschine to KRKs. I use my S4s sound card for general use. Will I need to pick up something like an audio2?

you can connect S4 and machine to your macbook and let the machine software play through the S4s soundcard (which is obviously connected to the KRKs)

an audio a2 would do the trick too.. advantage: if you have a mixer you can route the S4 in channel 1, machine (with audio2) in channel 2 to and mix them nicely..

Could you by any chance explain to me how to do that? Theyre both always connected to my MacBook anyway. I really appreciate it!

yeah you can route machine into traktor, but i dont like this, since you loose a (sample)deck. when im playing with a friend we use two macs so i never really tried it tbh.

with the S4 as only soundcard: just assign the main S4 outs in the machine software as output

with an additional soundcard (e.g. audio2, mixer needed): connect S4 as usual to one channel of the mixer, connect 2nd soundcard to macbook, assign it in the machine soft as output and connect it to another channel on the mixer..

Thank you so much for your help! Truly appreciated!

Ahh true. I just wasn’t sure if it had been posted before or anything. I looked, but didn’t turn up with a successful search. :stuck_out_tongue:

basically he wanted to know if its possible to put sounds from the machine into garage band.. i refered him to machines export function.

Hah, yeah. Epic failure on my part not thinking bout that. I really really had my mind set on fucking dragging and dropping the stupid bars from Maschines software straight into like Garage Band, or Ableton, or what have you.

Sometimes I can get really hard headed and expect software to do what I want it to do - whether or not it was programmed for it. :rage::disappointed::eek::rage:
