OK, sweet. Ever since I got my iPad 2 years ago, I’ve been wanting Traktor on it so seeing this app is like a dream come true. I can’t wait for the future updates that bring MIDI control and external mixing.
I have it working this way right now with my A10, you just leave crossfader all the way over on deck A and turn on the cue for deck B. Then you connect the “main” output to channel 1 on your mixer, and the “monitor” output to channel 2. Then you can use your mixer’s monitor and crossfader as usual, leaving TDJ’s mixer settings alone.
It’s basically the same as using an A2 with desktop Traktor and an external mixer, the outputs are called “main” and “monitor” but there’s no reason you can’t think of them as “deck A” and “deck B”.
Hi quick question, can you only use NI audio 8/10 soundcards? or are there any other cards. quite expensive.
You can use any “class compliant” USB audio interface (which includes the A6 and A10, but not the A2 or A8).
OK. I think the next step is to find the cheapest class compliant USB audio interface tested and approved with Traktor DJ.
Keep me posted.
This works according to a user on the NI forum:
http://www.behringer.com/EN/Products/UCA202.aspx
is the komplete 6 class compliant? cant find any information on this..
yes the Komplete 6 works with TDJ.
Only stereo out though - you’d need 2 of them unless you can split the outputs between dual soundcards ?
Which you can’t do
Although neither can the desktop Traktor…
Is this only for live use or can your mixes be recorded within the app?
You can if you build and aggregated device in OS X or it’s equivalent with ASIO in Win. You can forget about timecode tho.
I love it.
I don’t plan on performing with it publicly, though - and what would the point of timecode be? If you’re using two turntables and a mixer you might as well bust out the computer.
Will the iPad headphone jack still run as a CUE and the Behringer 2x2 as a MASTER?
What do you think? :“The Behringer Xenyx 302 USB is also “phantom powered,” meaning it supplies a small current to condenser-style microphones that need power to work. This phantom power is always on, and since it draws enough current all the time, it is not compatible out of the box with an iPad in the same way that other USB mixers are. (USB mixers that are iPad compatible require the Apple Camera Connection Kit accessory which creates a USB port on the iPad from the 30-pin connector.) Alesis makes a small USB mixer (the MultiMix 4 USB) that’s more expensive than the Xenyx 302 USB, but is compatible with the iPad with its separate power source.”
What if I hook it through a powered USB HUB ?
Cheers thanks Karlos
The camera kit will not pass power , not even on a powered hub like mine that can charge the ipad and iPhone at the same time faster than apples power adapters.
The only way to power and pass audio is with a proprietary cable such as the one on the vestal spin 2 and the apogee duet 2 (mac/ipad version).
It’s a bitch of a problem that I’ve been trying to get around for weeks…!!!
What about the v-midi - would be useful when they add core midi for sure:
Any recommendations A6/10, bit expensive for me?
Thanks.
On first look the V Midi looks like the solution. However whilst it does amplify the audio it still requires a splitter cable. It doesnt provide 2 channel stereo output. Its just a louder splitter cable with a midi i/o.
Close but no cigar
