Sending Midi Clock with a Macbook and No Audio 8
Sending Midi Clock with a Macbook and No Audio 8 Posted on: 21.12.2009 by Wendy Newby I just got Traktor Scratch Duo pack that comes with Audio 4. This is fine for my needs but I sometimes do back to back sets with a friend that uses and all Ableton 8 setup.I was wondering if the following is possible to keep Traktor and Ableton in Sync for B2B sets. 1. Upgrade to Traktor Scratch Pro for Midi clock functionality. 2. Purchase a midi to USB cable and a USB hub (Macbook has 2 USB sockets - Need 1 for Audio 4 and other for nocturn, hub would be used for Nocturn and Midi cable) 3. Follow steps to sync programs. I have literally just bought Traktor and don't want to upgrade Audio 8 straight away until I get used to software or see if a new controller/soundcard like Xone 2d comes out in 2010. Would the above solution work ? | |

| Neal Rayome 26.12.2009 | I believe the solution that you posted is a little bit overkill, charo. Another solution is to buy a LAN crossover cable (couple of bucks) and send your midi data over LAN through ipMIDI (http://nerds.de/en/ipmidi.html). How to setup Traktor and Ableton so that they are synced, you'll have to do a search on this community , since there are already two articles posted on how to do it on a Mac and on a PC. |
| juan garcia 21.12.2009 | check out this thread: http://www.djranking s.com/community /sho...8887#post48887 i'm not sure you'd be happy with the "syncing" even if you did get it to work via usb midi. |
