2 Questions about Traktor to Ableton with Timecode
Hi everybody, I was googling around to answer these 2 questions.
Normally im pretty good with using keywords but I ran out on these two questions. I can't find anything simular to this.
First of all, let me introduce myself and my setup so you can believe with me.
Im Matt from the Netherlands.
Been djing with traktor for almost 2 years now.
Started as fun at private party's and got allot of good feedback so it grew further. Nowadays I play at local clubs.
But something got me bothering during my (live) sets... latency!??

My setup:
- Macbook (late2008) 2.4 dual core with 2gb virtual. Running Leopard 10.5.8
- NI Audio4DJ
- Traktor Scratch Pro 2.0.1
- Ableton Live 8 with Audio Damage Dubstation & Soundtoys Echoboy used as live effects.
- UC-33a in midi channel 1 used as effect rack with 4 faders + knobs in ableton and 4 as effects in traktor.
- Akai MPD24 in midi channel 2 used for trigger effects cue/play etc only in traktor.
Reloop RMX40 4 channel mixer.

With a few mods I followed this tutorial about setting traktor to ableton up.
http://www.djranking s.com/2008/05/1...ableton-4-mac/
Im routing my 1/2 out and 3/4 out from traktor using Soundflower as my audio out device to ableton.
1/2 (Deck A) comes in over Audio track 1, sends only to Return A and then 1/2 out on my Audio4DJ to line-in 1 on my mixer.
The same story for the B deck on 3/4 out ofc.
Also I got my Traktor and Ableton synced using a MIDICLOCK as described in the tuto.
Check this printscreen.

As you see im using 2 effects each audio rack. Audio3 is offtopic because I messed that up
Now my problem comes here I believe. When I play a set for like 20minutes or so my master out is starting to stutter.
Like the clock is out of sync passing the effects when the effects are completely dry..
It starts to ramble the audio. But when I switch to my ableton screen I can't see what happened because the audio is playing good again.
I also watched my cpu in both programs but it gives no sign of stressing. Time/audio bombs in the effects are not the case. (legal)
On windows laptops sometimes the wireless card causes latency and gives a simular effect of what im having. But I closed my airport down.
Does not seem to fix it.
Im getting sick and tired of this problem and I ran out of possible solutions. Hope one of you can help me out on this one.

The second question I have is that if im using this setup traktor over ableton.
Is it possible then to use timecode?
Because the audio4dj is assigned to ableton for A/B out and not used as audio in or out device in Traktor.
Would love to try timecode but I love my vst's!

Your help is much apreciated on this one so thnx in advance

P'z!
