Traktor on MAC, External Mixer and Shoutcast stream via Nicecast not playing ball.
Can any one shed any light on this for me please?
I am trying to find a work around to enable me to broadcast from a Mac running Traktor with an external mixer using a Shoutcast stream. I have tried both BUTT and Nicecast but in both situations I can only hear one channel, there is no sound on the stream from the second channel at all. However the master out from the mixer to my monitors is fine.
In Nicecast I have the source set as the DJM850 because if I set it to Application (Traktor) I do not seem to broadcast any sound at all.
When I broadcast directly from Traktor into an Icecast stream I have no problems whatso ever. I dont need to feed any audio back into the MBP when using an Icecast stream so assumed shout would be the same.
my set up is as follows
2012 MBP
running Traktor SP2
DJM 850k (built in soundcard) as external mixer
2x CDJ 900s
Make sure your routing back into your computer via the DJM850 software is set to something like Ch 7/8 from Record Out on the mixer, then choose this as the input to your software for streaming.
This is how I do it to record sets in Traktor with DJM’s.
All sorted thanks to Makar 1 via the NI forums. I had initially followed the set up details for recording from external mixers on the Traktor bible site. This meant I only had to route one channel back into Traktor as Rec Out on the Pioneer Set up utility.
This was fine for recording and broadcasting when routing through Traktor but didnt work when using Nicecast.
The fix was as simple as setting all the USB channels to Rec Out in the Pioneer Utility, now all channels are audible through Nicecast and it still Records too.
Patch it is flipping obvious when you think about it, but because I had followed at set up guide and it worked when using Traktors built in broadcaster it just didn’t occur to me to try it.
Sometimes guides don’t actually explain how a particular set up works (maybe that makes it easier for beginners) and there is a tendency to do exactly what I did, ie get the set up working and forget about it rather than actually understand what is happening.
Hi I am having exactly the same problem , I have set all outputs to rec out but can only play through 1 channel in traktor but when I change audio settings in traktor it just reverts back to same problem . Please help its doing my head in.
cheers
