  • HOW U CAN RECORD A MIX WITH TRACKTOR S4 CONTROLLER ?

  • I'm running Pro 2 and this was very helpful! I just got the hang of mixing on the program from only spinning on cd decks and vinyl. Thanks for the video!

  • @Gjestar you're welcome, thanks for the comment

  • good vid, however, you need a tripod for your cam, shaky vids make people crazy :)

  • can you record your sets off any traktor product? More specifically, the TRAKTOR KONTROL S2?

  • @KnifeBSting You should be able to, It's not the controller that records but the program - so if you're running the full version of Traktor ot TP2, you should be able to record.

  • Super easy to understand and gets right to the point! Thanks for this informative video...:)

  • @AceBreakz Cheers

  • I cant find recording in in my preferences :( HELP!! :)

  • hi there pridders, your video was really informative, i do have a question for you tho, concerning itunes! in my itunes drop down menu there should be a 'create mp3' option but there isnt only a 'create wav' option!!! could you tell me whats going on here bro! many thanks

  • @djdefk2 The full answer is further down in the previous comments about this video - basically though you need to change your default in itunes preferences

  • @pridders Many thanks pridders! keep up the good work bro, cheers

  • Can someone help me out, and if you can't please thumbs up this comment so someone can figure this out.

    I have now got Traktor in preperation of my VMS4 thats coming soon. It's much better than VDJ i must admit however when I record mixes and play them back the pitch and speed is much lower than I could hear through my speakers.

    Also when I mix in Traktor every songs pitch and tempo I put into a deck is set by default much higher than it should be.

    I am new to Traktor pro! :L

  • what version of iTunes are you running? my version doesn't seem to have the "create mp3 version" on the drop down menu. It's all running on a 13" macbook. Also, thanks for the upload, i was stuck for ages trying to sus out how to record through traktor :)

  • You don't NEED to compress to mp3. Just burn directly to a cd. You won't loose any sound quality that way.

  • Man ,I'm having a problem with recording, I'm running a mac, mix deck, and powered speakers...when i playback my recordings , i hear BOTH tracks...PLEASE HELP, posted a video about the problem to make it easy to understand issue, ANYONE PLEASE HELP...

  • Ah, internal. That's where I was going wrong. Cheers, very helpful.

  • mate, you are a life saver. been hunting for ages to record a wee set. great upload (Y)

  • sweet-thanx simon..I upgraded my scratch duo to the scratch pro 2 just before new years. Is great to see how much peer support is out there to figure everything out.

    Happy New Year and happy mixing!-Cheers, 'Mosaic'.

  • i have an issue while recording in traktor 2, i can record but when i listen back not only can hear the track playing but also the track i'm cueing to mix, even though the channels not up, when i did the mix live i had no problems

    it's like traktor's recording whether both channels are up or not

    pioneer cdj 2000 + pioneer djm 800 + macbook + traktor 2

  • oh man you are amazing.

  • is that a 15inch macbook?

  • @SeedyTony It certainly is - a macbook pro aluminium 15", now running OSX Lion

  • @pridders thanks for the response, and thanks for the vid, helped lots!

  • i actually love you.

  • Thank you!! Very helpful

  • @chillaeurope your welcome :D

  • hello... that was the first video that showed me how to record... unfortunately after 4months of trying to work it out and also being told that my laptop does not have a sound card. i decided to invest in one and now seeing ur video i now no that i do not need one.

    But i do have one question for you. How do i convert the recorded mix to mp3 conversion for windows as ur video shows the conversion for mac pro ? Also can i still use my new audio card. Numark DJ iO audio. or is it usless to me now

  • @Mrja3ki Hi, thanks for your comments, you can still convert to MP3 (if you need to do so) using itunes on a windows pc in pretty much the same way. right click the tune and there should be the option to convert to MP3. You an still use your Numark Soundcard, especially for playing out live - definitely if you want to use a controller with an external mixer and more than 2 decks

  • Hi,

    I have on my Macbook the software Traktor Pro 2 and the controller Numark Omni Control and I have a problem when I try to record a dj set... While I play it i can liste quite well but on the cd, the audio quality is very low.. I tried to change the Latency and Sample Rate but the result never change.. The Main Audio is on 0dB.. Which is the best combination of these elements to obtain a high quality audio in my cd recorded?

    Thanks in advance..

    Kind Regards

    Gian Marco

  • Everything happens the same here as with mine, but when I play the wav file in itunes, it plays it and has the correct time for the recording but absolutely no sound. So my computer is recognising the file but no volume. Any help?

  • @22Donkey22

    you need to go back to the mix recorder option in prefrences and deactivate the external icon (I'm assuming it is on) and switch it to internal. Test recording and make sure u see the levels move on the master and on the recording sections. that should fix it.

  • @rudles i've tried everything it just isn't recording the external sound. is there anything else i could do? maybe recording with a different programme.

  • @rudles Hello,

    thank you very much for the answer, but the recording options was already switched on Internal mixing.. The levels are moving while I make a mix, and I pay attention to don't permit that they don't become red.. but the audio result has not high quality :-(

    Should I enable the limiter?

    Best Regards

    Gian Marco

  • thx for the help

  • You can't do that without expensive studio software I'm afraid

  • Hello mate i was wondering if you know how to burn the mix so when you put it in a cd player when you hit next song it hits the next song in YOUR mix like those dj compilations like in search in sunrise the whole cd is mixed but it has each track separated its so annoying that if you want to hear a song from the mix you have to wait or fast forward thanks and nice video

  • Thanks for your effort mate!!!! BRILLIAMNT ADVISE!!!

  • Thank you, u were very informative, solved my problem!!! ill buy u a beer

  • Hey man, i like the video.. but im using a different version im using traktor pro 2.0.1 and i cant record!! its driving me insane, i have set preferences to internal but the record button is grey and wont let me click it. Please could you offer any help or advise that will help me solve this problem?? thanks very much

  • Thanks!

  • thank you so much!!

  • thx bro :^D bood vibes..

  • is this the same with limited edition ? please reply !

  • thanks a lot mate, best description of it I've seen! people seem to make the recording process more complex than it needs to be

  • nice vid mate you sound so much like John Peel :-)

  • If u want your mix to be on a CD why the hell would u convert it to MP3 1st, that doesn't make any freakin' sense!

    A WAV file is uncompressed so iit's much better sounding & is perfect for a CD, u only need it in MP3 format for sharing on the internet or for your iPod since it's a smaller compressed file.

    Converting the original source just to put it on an audio CD is just plain retarded cause it doesn't change how much u can fit on the audio CD but it will degrade the sound, that's just lame!

  • @DJDAMIAN72 Chill man....do it how you want. Maybe someone wants to do a 2 hour mix..!

  • @DJDAMIAN72 I found this video very useful as I need to convert to MP3 so I can upload to SoundCloud.. everyone shares music these days anymore, why mention the CD? They're just for playing out in the club, but yes.. agree there is a place for WAV files too.. I don't think the author would disagree?

  • @TheJimmySimpson

    The video is useful in explaining how to record but the info in how to burn a CD is false.

    U want your music on SoundCloud so it makes perfect sense to convert it to mp3, or if u wanted your music on a portable mp3 player but there is no absolute reason to convert to mp3 for an audio CD, that's just false info, unless it's an mp3 CD but not an audio CD. I've met people who work on music, record themselves, convert to mp3 & delete the wav, that is retarded!

  • very helpful man clear and concise. i can really appreciate that.

  • How can i make the file longer!!!

  • Can you record the mix if your controller isn't acting as the soundcard?

  • @SamForrestTube Hey Sam,

    i have a digital Jockey 2 IE, trakor save only the file, that is put out of your headphones ;)

  • hmm im using an external mixer so should i set settings to external? it seems to record everything i hear in the headphone :S ...how come its doing that?

  • heyy i need help, when i record deck A is fine but deck B is so very faint even if crossfaded

    thanks

  • Hey Simon, I use Traktor Pro internal mixer with the MBP. Over the last couple of recordings, everything goes great until it's time for me to open the recording and listen to it.

    As soon as the tune comes near to a bassline, it skips a beat, goes back a beat and then plays normally again. Kind of jittery. My latency is set at 30 ms... What could be going wrong? Appreciate any help...Cheers bud.

  • While using 2 decks with external mixer, I would like to record 1 of them while I'm listening both.

    Is it possible?

    Basically on deck A, there's a beat loop running While I'm scratching on deck B. And just want to record my scratchs.

    Is there a way Traktor sends me both signals in my mixer but just send back one to my computer?

  • Wow! Simple how thtat is! Thanks bro!

    

  • Wow! Simple how thtat is! Thanks bro!

  • Thank you sooooo much!!!

    now it works :D

  • How would record externally on a djm-800?

  • Thank you sooo much!

    

  • Thank you very much

  • Thanks man that was very helpful.........I appreciate all your videos Pridders!

  • Hei

    Mine was at external but when i switched to internal some of my effect features wont work as the should, like the cross fader ext.

    I have an Numark Mixdeck an software Traktor pro 1.2.7..

  • Thank you sir....

  • Thnx 4 the video, helped me a lot:) Very clear!!!

  • very useful info bro thanks !!!!!!!!

  • Hey, do you have a link to the picture you have as your background? Thanks

  • Will this work on traktor pro S4?

  • Simon, I'd like to know if it's possible to record using an external mixer (Denon DN-X120) with the NI sound card Audio 2. I have no 'booth' input on the mixer and it is only two channels.

  • @IanDJcolorado - Hi there, I'm no real expert in that area but the fact that the mixer onlyhas two channels shouldn't be an issue - the booth output maybe an issue though - I'd have a look through the NI forums to be honest as I'm sure you'll find your answer there, and if not it's the best place to source help.

  • Thank you the video was very helpful. I am having a bit of trouble converting the file from .wav to .mp3

  • @EricHausman

    That's beacuse you need to alter your master settings.

    Click on itunes > preferences

    in the box near the bottom where it says 'When you insert a CD' - ignore that and go tp the far right and click 'Import Settings'

    Where it says 'Import Using' - change from AAC encoder to MP3 Encoder, click OK.

    Now when you have a track highlighted you can either right click and it will give you the option to convert to MP3, or click the 'advanced' tab & the option is 5 lines down.

  • @pridders I got it working.. Thanks!

  • @pridders Thanks. Very Helpful!

  • @pridders that was the same for me thanks for ur help

  • Thanks Bud ~d(-_-)b~

  • hmm.

    nice to see it records in wav, this file format is way bigger and therefore sounds better than MP3 however if you play mp3's  in your mix and record them in wav they wont all of a sudden get much better sounding.

  • iv got it so it records but for some reason it doesnt work properly with my cross fader

  • I would LOVE if you made a video of the wires coming from the soundcard into the mixer. I cannot figure it out.

  • Comment removed

  • pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeee reply anyone it will be appreciated :D

    i have tested this out and it is recording BUT when i listen to it the scratches i do the high pitched sound when there isnt a sound on there but through my spreakers it actually does have the sound :/

    what have i done wrong?

    is it because im using my actuall turntables instead of what you are using in this video?

    is it the make of my turntables or mixer?

    please.....

    HELP!

  • @andrethedj17 ignore that message sorry i found out how to that BUT again the cross fader when i put it over to my deck on the left for some reason it would carry on play what is happening on my right decks :S but when i put the cross fader to the right it mutes both :S pleaseeee help :@

  • @andrethedj17 im having that same problem mate :/ iv tried everywhere but no one is replying back to me :/ il tell you if some one tells me :)

  • WTF is this itunes thing? I don't get it. There's nothing better then just store mp3 in normal folders click them and play in fuckin Winamp. Fuckin "I"-men just mess in ppls heads with their lame stuff. I guess in its converter you can't even set the bitrate of the mp3 file, but correct me if I'm wrong. Fuckin i-shit. Cdex program with LAMEmp3 Encoder kills the itunes encoder.

    Anyway thx man for the vid you, helped me with the recording. !

  • When making a CD of your recorded mix using iTunes, you don't have to make MP3 files out of the .wav. Just use the wav files since iTunes converts the MP3's temporarily to .wav files anyway before it burns them to disk. Besides, you go from lossless, to lossy, back to lossless again, and you've already lost some of the sound quality converting to MP3.

  • tnx mate! been searching for the record function lol :D

  • hi, im using cdj 400 and djm 400 and i did exactly what you did and when i press the record button no sound comes, i end up with an empty track. why is this?

  • Thanks mate!

  • Can yunplay these mixes back pm the turntables as a song??

  • @mas11594 - Sorry you're question doesn't make any sense to me whatsoever?

  • Yes you can. It records whatever you do, that then becomes its own music file and can be converted to itunes. You can then DJ any itunes track in T.Pro. You can then play it and record it again with another record expodentially until you create a time vacum and the world falls off its hinges so becareful. :)

    Thanks for the demo, a fair bit of deviation and a dodgy Madness remix but good you took the time and trouble to do this, so many thanks. :)

  • @mas11594 Can you play these mixes back to the tables as a song??

    yes

  • yo can u do a review/over view of the controller?

  • THNKS FOR THE VIDEO.

  • I have done this, but when i do my mixer stops working properly and i can't fade. But if i set it so my mixer can work it wont record!?

  • when i play it in iTunes after recording and everything, it doesn't play. I even converted to .mp3 and it still doesn't have anysound... HELP?!?

  • @advancedsniper Hi there...... have you figured out how to get your mixes to play in iTunes? I'm having the same issue.....

  • @MizzJonze Sorry bro i never got it... Im still in the dark.

  • I love you... i've been trying to figure this recording bit out for forever!! Been recording on my ipod since i'm using the universal mixdeck... but it always butchered it at 7 mins >.>... Yaayyy! Great video :D!!

  • @DjKatDrift - lol, thanks

  • Thank you very much for that, that was a great help and its all sorted now, cheeeeeeeeeeeers! Also i was wondering if you could help me again please? Do you know why i cant change the time on the decks (A&B) on my traktor pro so it shows the time from start to fhinish and not just from the end, do you know what i mean? For example (0:00 ---- 7:36) (7:36 ---- 7:36)

    Thanks

    Floyd...

  • @djmarkgoodboyfloyd - You should be able change the time display on the decks in the settings (view)

  • @mymatrixmind  - Glad you're enjoyin' the S4 mate - I'm holding out at the moment as there appears to be quite a few teething peoblems judging by the amount of posts on the NI Forum!

  • Hi, im sorry but on my itunes it does'nt say convert to mp3 it say's "convert AAC version" and that's it, can you help me please im recording on traktor pro and done everything you said on you viedo which was a great help but i just cant get passed the last stage... Thanks!

  • @djmarkgoodboyfloyd

    That's beacuse you need to alter your master settings.

    Click on itunes > preferences

    in the box near the bottom where it says 'When you insert a CD' - ignore that and go tp the far right and click 'Import Settings'

    Where it says 'Import Using' - change from AAC encoder to MP3 Encoder, click OK.

    Now when you have a track highlighted you can either right click and it will give you the option to convert to MP3, or click the 'advanced' tab & the option is 5 lines down.

  • Simon thanks for this well done.....BIG help

  • i have a problem...

    i can't press the Record Button !

  • Thanks for the tutorial Simon.

  • Just wanted to drop you a THANK YOU for your video. It helped out very much. Thanks Again!

  • @BROOKLYN1573

    No worries - you're welcome :D

  • 2:33 IT'S HIDING 0_0

  • can u record a mix off my cdjs using traktor pro?

  • @TheDJTaipan

    If you've hooked your CDjs up and assigned them to the MIDI in, within the traktor preferences I don't see why not - can't guarantee it 100% though!

  • Is it possible to do a basic mix in traktor pro using just the program? I have a DJM 800 and CDJ1000s but I want to do some quick mixes while travelling just on my laptop. Thanks in advance

  • @UpioFox

    No as you need some sort of controller to operate the internal mixer, plus you'll have soundcard issues

  • heard of a screen recorder

  • @CHRISWALSHE

    No, care to expand on it a little?

  • @pridders records the screen rather than the rubbish quality of a camera :)

  • @cjmitz

    Cheers for that, never heard of one, do you have a link so I can have a look, sounds like a great idea

  • @pridders No link (not allowed), but search for "camtasia studio", very good program. There are other free alternatives such as hypercam (for windows) or Pure Mac: Screen Capture for mac, search "screen capture mac free" on google and you should be able to find one :)

  • @pridders a screen recorder is software that records whatever is showing on your screen ideal for videos that are showing something on screen most people on youtube doing explanitory videos use them as far as i remember cam studio is a good free one just google it havn't used one in a while thoe.

  • i have the newest ver. of itunes and i cant create mp3 version

  • @PHamousMan12

    Yes you can - you need to alter the import settings in the adanced set up to MP3

  • how can i record if i have a djm 800???.....what do i need to connect? pls help!

  • GREAT INFO. THANKS A MILLION!!

    CHEERS!!!!!!

  • Dude we have the EXACT same setup. macbook pro unibody + omni control

  • Hallo. First of all thank you for this great movie. I've got traktor 1.1.2.004 just like you, but my mixer that i have connected to my PC with windows on it, is a Reloop Digital Jockey - Interface Edition, and when i pushes the preferences button there is no such things as recording and stuff. I only got: Audio Setup, Output Routing, Input Routing, MIDI Setup, Loading, Transport, Effects, File Management, Data Location and the last one is Global View Options. Any idea hos i can record my mixes?

  • thanks alot dude

  • Hi, so i've been trying to record but when my musics playing the volume levels in my record section aren't moving (meaning its not picking up any music) so when i try to play the mix, there is nothing there. any ideas how i can fix that?

  • What is this mixer?

  • @Jindozzz

    Hi - The mixer I use is the pioneer DJM-800 - When I made this video it had a styleflip skin on it - the skin is the front cover of Depeche Mode's Ultra CD/Album

  • ,,wkd vid. cheers.

  • thx for tut. it's what I was looking for :)

  • @dochujaztymgownem

    No worries :D

  • can you recorded in the demo?

  • @cpstraus

    I'm afraid not - The record function isn't a feature of the Demo or LE version of Traktor

  • @pridders which sucks!
