Many thanks for your answers I see things clearly now!!!
The only thing I’m very worried about running a UC + a TA10, or a TA 6 (or TA2MKII) + a TA 10 is the latency problem since I will have to agreggate them.
What’s your take on this?
I know that 2 UC would be the best option but it’s a bit expensive for now… I am therefore looking at maybe adding a TA6 to the setup…
Also have you ever heard of the Echo AudioFire 12? It has 12 annalog in and out…
I believe it can also be a good pick, no?
On another note : where do you play in Melbourne? My wifes’ sister lives there with her husband. He is from Melbourne.
No need to aggregate anything. Traktor only uses 1 soundcard, but Ableton can use 2, TA2mk2 for 4 outputs, and the TA10 for input.
I’ve done a basic setup using my TA10 and Z1 (basically a TA2mk2 soundcard). I’ll upload a screenshot later (posting from iPad) …
You’ll need to setup Maschine to have its own outputs from Ableton, let’s say use (in my example) Z1 1/2 (stereo), and then your Ableton Effects Bus will be TA10 3/4 (stereo) input and Z1 3/4 (stereo) output. You will need to mess around with the buffer size a little to get the right CPU load, and then get your midi offset right so beats line up.
Regarding side note: I play commercial gigs these days (cheese pays the bills, lol), The Exchange Hotel Port Melbourne on Friday nights, and I’m on the roster for Transport Hotel at Federation Square in Melbourne CBD playing most Saturdays, sets vary from 3 hours standard to 6 hours (like this Sat, 8-2). Both gigs are a mixture of current top 40 remixes, R&B and what I call remixed retro, so old tracks that people know with a decent beat behind them. Remix decks are starting to be my friend with remixed retro, allowing me to use the original older tracks with a variety of loop samples under them to give them some decent thump.
Anyhow, enough shameless self promotion
So what’s the best way for me to link a photo or screenshot? Is there somewhere better to host these than Flickr? I tried uploading it directly but it squashed it so much that it wasn’t easy to read … Thanks!
Frankle, or anyone, the guys at the store sent me a komplete Audio 6 instead of a TA6. Do you think I should send it back or can I use the KA6 for what I want to achieve i’m quite lost there. I don.t need the scratch option, i only need to plug maschine via live on the 92 and use aux 1 and 2 for effects’ on all 4 decks of traktor… Please guys help me. Thanks
Edit : Nevermind the Ka6 is cheaper than the Ta6 they made a mistake I’m calling them Monday…
crossing fingers for the setup to work.
