This setup was accomplished with my Macbook, Traktor Kontrol S2, and Maschine Mikro – so no external MIDI cable connections were possible (the Mikro and S2 don’t have the MIDI ports that other audio interfaces and controllers offer). Like many DJTT readers, I can’t afford another laptop right now – so I had to make this work with just what was available! STEP ONE: GEAR UP Some places talked about using the full-sized Maschine and Kontrol S4, both of which have the ability to plug-in a MIDI cable, while others (like in Chris Liebing’s DJTT interview) suggest using two computers to run his Maschine and Traktor all syncronized with an external sound card. I searched the internet high and low for an answer. The loop recorder can also record Maschine loops, which can be used later on in the Remix Decks. With this setup I can control the Maschine’s output via one of the decks and be able to control its EQ, volume, and add Traktor effects. Naturally the first thing I wanted to do was to take the output of the Maschine Software and re-route it back into one of my decks via a Live Input Deck in Traktor. Recently a friend of mine, DJ MtP, decided to give me a new early birthday present – he got the newer version of Maschine so he gave me his first generation Maschine Mikro.

Today we’re looking how to route and sync Maschine with Traktor – allowing recording, EQ, and effects while maintaining a synchronized BPM across both softwares. The Native Instruments Maschine software and hardware is very much at home in a production workflow, but bringing the audio output into Traktor isn’t especially intuitive, especially if you’re limited by the number of computers you can use or don’t have MIDI ports on your controller or soundcard.
