Sync 2 Traktor’s and using one controller

Hi guys!

I wanted to play a b2b with a friend, but I’ve been trying to sync 2 computers (a MacBook and a PC) with Traktor and I couldn’t.

We want to use our computers with a controller, so we can mix one song each. Is this possible?

Our equipment is: Pioneer DDJ-T1, Audio 2 DJ and our computers.

Thank you!

Hi Gonzija,

If you really wan’t to use two computers, take a look here:

Also there’s a lot of information on google about this :slight_smile:

Goodluck!

Why not a 4-Deck set-up and use 2 decks each?

You won’t be able to use one controller for 2 computers.

Thank you Vurrnn!

Can we use the controller with one computer and the other one connected to the aux input in the controller by using the Audio 2 output?

but you would still need a secondary CONTROLLER

So in case I play a track from my computer and my friend another song from his computer, I will need to use both controllers to mix?

Listen mate - just stick your tunes on a USB Stick, and BOTH use the same computer and the same controller. You can take it in turns.

In fact, to make it easy for yourselves, BOTH DJ from a USB Stick each - name the folder on the USB stick your own name, and then, when you switch (like you said, B2B) you can just open tracks the USB Stick that has your name on it in Traktors browser.

It sounds like your trying to run before you can walk…

I knew that, but I thought that maybe there was another way of doing it with two computers :stuck_out_tongue:

Thank you Patch!

You could do it but it will be one huge headache prone to fail. Do as Patch says.
