Syncing Ableton Suite with Traktor Pro S4.
Posted on: 16.01.2011 by Twanna Dischinger
Hi,

So we've bought an S4 and it works perfectly as expected. What we now want to do is sync Ableton's (second laptop) clock with Traktor's clock via a MIDI-USB Cable. OK, We bought the cable (midimate 2), what now?

If anyone would be so kind to explain the needed settings in detail + what not to do, I'd appreciate it very much.

ps; We looked up some tutorials, and it has worked once, but it almost seems Ableton's choosing randomly if it will or won't receive the midi-information. Or maybe Traktor won't send it. Or maybe the S4 won't process it. There's nothing wrong with the cable 'cause Ableton can send clock and the cable detects it (flashing leds).

Thanks in advance,
Claus

is there an alternative for IpMidi on pc that does the same thing u mentioned specially the Wireless network thing :eek:

i guess LoopBe1 on my pc is suffering of variable latency maybe thats why my ableton tempo keeps jumping instead of syncing

18.01.2011		Thank you very much padi_04! I tested it with Ableton to Ableton (one version on my brother's mac) and it worked brilliantly, I assume it's the same with Traktor to Ableton.

Thanks again,
Claus.

17.01.2011		We're both on macbook pro's the one with ableton is from summer 2009, we use it's internal sound card. We know about the play button, but we'll have to try the master thingy this weekend. I highly doubt that's the solution, though.
Comments appreciated.

17.01.2011		be sure of pressing the play button at the master clock and chose master clock as option

as for me am having a problem with ableton the tempo is just jumping around up and down
both traktor s4 and ableton on same pc wonder if any one had this problem too

17.01.2011		what soundcard are you using on the ableton laptop?
