Reply to TP2 + Kontrol S4 + Ableton Live 8

Hi and Merry Christmas to everyone!!!! So i had some free time today and decided to try for one last time to route my S4 into Ableton in order to use all the cool effects it has, and i finally did it!!! it was so damn easy that i actually got angry for not figuring out before.

So in order to do it you have to get Soundflower for mac (free) and some time in order to set it up (about 10 min).

1. Install SoundFlower
2. Use it in 16ch in/16ch out mode.
3. Go into Traktor Pro 2 preference and pick Soundflower as your audio device.
4. Go to Output routing and select external mixing mode. Then route Decks A,B,C,D to 1-2,3-4,5-6,7-8. (remember that because you are in external mixing mode you will loose your channel faders)

Now Ableton
1.Go to Live preferences
2.Go to audio and select SoundFlower as your audio INPUT device. And select TRAKTOR S4 as your OUTPUT Device.
3.Go to Session View and duplicate 4 audio tracks (rename it Deck A,B,C,D).
4.On each Channel in the Audio From choose 1-2 for deck A, 3-4 for deck B, 5-6 for deck C and 7-8 for deck D also select it as IN.
5. In order to be able to CUE with your headphones go to the master channel and in the MASTER OUT select 1-2 and on the CUE OUT select 3-4.

And that's it!!!!!!!!!! Now i can use Ableton effects (love my dummy clips) with Traktor!!! And i still can use my Ipad 2 with the Ifigther mapping! What i personally do to control the channel faders is hook up my APC 40 which i also use to trigger dummy clips and instant effects.

If anyone want some help setting this up fell free to PM.

Cheers.....
