Getting sound from MASCHINE into TRAKTOR PRO is the fun / complicated part. You can also, if your audio interface allows for it, run both apps through the same output, and control their volumes independently within their respective user interfaces.īut what about if you want to get MASCHINE running into one of your controller’s mixer channels? This would be impossible when you have an audio interface with stereo inputs that go direct to master out, such as the KONTROL S5, or something like the Xone:K2, which has none. A more straightforward way to accomplish this would be to use a second audio interface for MASCHINE, but that relies on having a way of inputting the audio into a mixer. To get a working project going and having some sound come out of MASCHINE is only a small step in the overall process. Set up a MASCHINE project with the samples you want, and sync with TRAKTOR. TRAKTOR PRO 2.11+ software, a DJ controller mapped to TRAKTOR PRO, MASCHINE + MASCHINE 2.5.6+ software, JackAudio, or similar, such as Soundflower, and Ableton Link connection.

But what about when you’ve got a controller with a built in interface? Setting up MASCHINE with a club mixer or audio interface is fairly straightforward: just route the output from the software to one of the mixer’s USB outputs, and you’ve got full volume, gain control, along with any other mixer features the channel has access to. All these tools let DJs expand their horizons, but there are other ways to achieve this by employing MASCHINE into your setup. TRAKTOR’s power features take you beyond the ones-and-twos, with four decks, Stems functionality, and remix.
