Reply to Traktor + Maschine routing disaster

So I am sitting here reinstalling my osX, hoping my audio card on the mac is not damaged.

Why?

Jack OSX.

I was routing maschine to traktor via my s4 (following instructions from Traktor Bible) - figured I could add beats on the fly here and there.

Well, after having followed all the directions, I start traktor (2.5) and all I hear is clicking (the one you hear when your latency is bad or have wifi on on a windows pc). It is so bad, I can't even play a song.

I have reinstalled traktor - no luck. I'm running Lion osX 10.7. New macbook pro 13.

S4 still works fine on windows pc, so that's good. iTunes plays music fine on the mac, so hopefully the audio card is ok.

HIGHLY advise to believe twice about doing this if you ever were.

extremely frustrating

anyone have similar experience?
