Mixtrack Pro & Traktor Pro 2
Posted on: 17.04.2012 by Tamara Zitterkopf
Ok, ive searched the community but cant seem to find a fix for this, i was running the mixtrack with VDJ and it was fine

basically all i want to do is cue up the next track in my heaphones

i haven't a clue how to set this up

this is how ive got it hooked up

M AUDIO AV 40S plugged right in the mixtrack (rca to rca)

mixtrack is plugged into the pc

traktor is open, everything else works fine, just cant get my head round the cueig thing

this is what the audio setting say (sorry about the poor pics)







if anyone could help me sort this that would be great, its really confusing me at the mo

thanks

Never thought of that. That's the one thing I seem to have the most problems with. My USB ports mysteriously stop working with my Mixtrack. Thanks mate!

another question tho, nothing serious, my pc will freeze up for a second every now and again, does yours do that?

19.04.2012		I do have an unrelated question though. Does anyone know of a bag I can get that will fit the mixtrack?

19.04.2012		damm pcs! lol
Jeramy Bajraktarevic
18.04.2012		Well there's your problem :P or at least part of it.
Tamara Zitterkopf
18.04.2012		ive just had the pc out, and the psu fan isnt working, (dust problem i believe) so it looks like its the psu

18.04.2012		not sure - i've only tried it on win7 - but it can't do any harm. all it does is disable (or re-enable) services. the command line for that i *believe* is the same on winxp - tho maybe diff service names. whatever it does do or not - all u need to do is run it again and select to enable the services again. it doesn't do anything permanent.

18.04.2012		does that batch file work with windows xp? its been doing it again today, doing my head in to be honest lol, it runs fine, then the pc sounds like its about to take off lol
Tamara Zitterkopf
19.04.2012		ive still not tired it, let me know if you have any joy with it

17.04.2012		how/why are you using a licensed copy of traktor scratch pro with a mixtrack pro? u must also surely have a NI soundcard?

traktor shouldn't freeze up esp if on a mac. if you're on windows there's a cool batch script that can disable any unwanted services and can make quite a difference, checkout the blog article here: http://www.djranking s.com/2011/08/1...-power-script/

common culprits on windows are stuff like wifi and bluetooth and webcam drivers - always turn them off if possible.

i was running traktor pro on windows 7 without any major issues until quite recently (moved to mac)

17.04.2012		I was just about to suggest that :P

If you have any questions about the Mixtrack, PM me. I've gone through hell and high water with mine.
Tamara Zitterkopf
17.04.2012		yay, ive managed to sort it out, by selecting the mixtrack pro on the ASIO (green icon in toolbar) and setting the first channels to 3 and 4 and the other ones 1 and 2

Thanks for the reply tho!

17.04.2012		ASIO4ALL v2? yeh it came with the mixtrack :/
