Syncing 2 laptops both playing Traktor

From this post Syncing 2 Macs w/ TSP

There’s a video tut somewhere on the forum, but I can’t find it right now.

yes, me and a friend do this. it was a pain in the ass to dial in, but once set, its set for life. also one other issue is that every couple of mins it helps if the clock sending TSP has the ‘sync’ button pressed to cut out any drift.

if you read the manual, its actually in there (page 148). but long story short, decide which TSP is going to be the master and connect the midi out of it’s audio 8 to the midi in of the slave TSP’s audio 8. On the sending TSP in the global clock bit check that ‘Int’ is selected and click on the Play/Pause button. this will begin sending the midi clock. on the slave TSP, set the clock to ‘Ext’

Now for the ‘fun’ part…

click on ‘tick’ on both TSP’s so you can hear it through ur mixer. they will be out of time, click ‘sync’ to reset it and then you adjust the midi clock sending offset in pref>midi setup until the ticks are in time. we found that we had to balance that with the latency to get it perfect. it does take time, be prepared to get frustrated and consider alcholism as a career
