| Tatiana Ruis 31.03.2013 | Hi boys, I would like to start broadcasting via Mixlr with my S4 and MacBook Pro 15" retina and I choose plug them with RCA cables. I read support on Mixlr, DJTT articles, this community and also community of Native Instruments. But I have problem with software setup on MacBook. Look at pictures below: https://www.dropbox.com/s/1f4zz8fhj6...A016.22.45.png Sorry, It is in Czech language. This is snapshot of System Preferences ("Sound") of standard MacBook Pro 15" with SuperDrive (No retina model). As you can see - there is option to choose "link input" which we need for broadcasting, right? AND... https://www.dropbox.com/s/eyr3uzpdyb...A016.23.03.png This is snapshot of MacBook Pro 15" retina model, where IS NOT option to choose "link input"... I tried a lot of Mac's at work - still same issue on newest models of MacBook Air 11"/13", MacBook Pro 13" with SuperDrive, MacBook Pro Retina 13"/15". Only MacBook Pro 15" with SuperDrive show me option to choose "link input". Please - does anyone know how can I solve this problem and start broadcasting via Mixlr on my Retina model? BTW: I don't want to use Soundflower etc. Thank you for reply :-) |

Traktor won't initialize TWO separate devices for audio IO. So whatever device you use for inputs MUST be the same device you use for OUTPUT. Lame, I know... (Classic NI) This idea will effectively double your latency (and add more processing requirements), but you could route sound *into* traktor through one virtual stereo-channel, then back *OUT* of Traktor via *another* virtual channel and BACK into Ableton. There, signals can be routed to the hardware audio lines. You'll need to route 2 stereo-channels this way so your cue-monitor and Main Out have the same latency, so this 'wastes' a lot of extra bandwidth/throughput/CPU to solve what *should* be a simple problem. Another -possible- solution would be to run Traktor INTO Ableton from the beginning. Then use Ableton's EQs, processing, and volume controls as your mixer... This, however, requires major re-believeing of your MIDI controls, layout, etc. Just some thoughts, hope they help! -Matt |
| Melissa Westerhouse 27.01.2012 | I have used jack and soundflower to try and reroute ableton thru traktor. The problem I had with jack is that it did not see the s4 soundcard and traktor (the program) as separate things. so every time I set traktor to use jack as the input it wanted to use jack as the output and I found no way to run jack thru the s4 soundcard. NOW! I have NOT used jack to broadcast but I thought this information may be helpful. |
| Francina Decosse 26.01.2012 | you can try JackOSX instead of Soundflower. I generally got better latency and relaibility from Jack than I got from soundflower for virtual routing. Still, I believe the the S4 out -> MBP line-in would be my preferred choice too for such an applicaiton. The built-in ADC/DAC in the MBP is a low-end one, but when it come to low(erish) bitrate broadcasts, it's more than enough and completely justified, considering that you avoid the virtual routing layer. |

I could get this to work for only about 12 mins until it gave a terrible feedback and soundflower had to be reset. I looked in soundflower community s and have found that this is a common problem. After no solution I just ran 2 outs from my firepod into the s4. extra cables and bullshit. I am interested in finding out if you were having a similar problem with trying to reroute yours for broadcast. I am interested in broadcasting myself. Good luck. |
| Rosalie Novarro 19.01.2012 | yes neither of those cover how to get soundflower to play nicely with traktor and the s4 audio |
| robin loo 20.01.2012 | have you seen this tutorial? http://blog.mixlr.com/2010/07/how-to...e-traktor-etc/ or this one? http://www.tested.com/news/how-to-ea...th-mixlr/3087/ |

| Savannah England 30.11.2011 | just wanna say.. this thread was extremelyyy helpful. thankyouu |

| Yajaira Hibbitts 11.10.2011 | http://soundcloud.com/pollux-13/pollux-13-presents-deep here's a 3 hours live mix which i broadcast on mixlr few days and i archived it in soundcloud. all i can say is that im in love with mixlr. i decided not to go with soundflower this is just a simple audio out from my kp3 to the line in of my mbp, that's it |
| Britta Limehouse 10.10.2011 | All i do is i run a cable from the output of my S4 to the line in of my MacBook Pro and it just works... |
| Albertina Fay 05.10.2011 | I'll start working on it toevening
. btw: I really like Mixlr. - Allows you to listen to live stream from iOS devices - Sends you an email notification when someone you are following starts a live broadcast - Archives your broadcast real-time, giving you the ability to listen to it again - Great audio quality |
| Judi Sissel 06.10.2011 | Also interested. Thanks!!! |

| Albertina Fay 04.10.2011 | Guys: I was finally able to setup Mixlr with Traktor S4 and Soundflower. Everything is working great and no cables needed. If anyone is interested, I can probably make a quick write up with instructions. |
| Albertina Fay 28.09.2011 | I was able to get it to work using the second set of outputs on the S4 using the RCA to 3.5mm jack, but I really want to get it to work with soundflower. Anyone else here use Mixlr w/ Soundflower to broadcast from the S4? |
| Hailey Westen 27.09.2011 | let me know how you get on, as i too would like to know how to broadcast via the s4 and mbp 13" |

| Harley Zitka 27.09.2011 | There are 2 sets of outputs on the S4. Plug your monitors into one set, and then run the audio to your Mac with the other. Trust me, it's the easiest way to do it. |
