E Traktor
Emelia Lute
Any time we (me and my mate) try and sync his traktor s8 via midi to my Elektrons(or my ableton setup) the audio from his and mine does not line up. I think thers some latency on his audio out which causes a difference between his audio and midi timing.
I'm having problems getting the music i downloaded on my apple music account to work on my traktor dj library I'm not sure if i have the path wrong or if apple changes the format of the download. but it just keeps saying this file can not be played can anyone help me or has any one experienced this problem also.
I DJ using the Traktor S4 and I thought I was having this same issue but eventually figured it out... There are a couple reasons why you won't see songs you purchased and downloaded from iTunes and it has NOTHING to do with the DRM that people are talking about if you purchased the song...
1) iTunes creates a second "Music" folder in the iTunes Folder for the songs that are downloaded if you already have a "Music" folder in the "iTunes" folder... I found this because the storage on my external HD was not adding up right... Now I have tried to fix this issue by combining the one folder so I only have the one "Music" folder and everytime I update my library iTunes reverts it back so when I have my Traktor files open I always have to go into "iTunes Music" folder, then "Music" and then into the second "Music" folder.
2) If you don't have the music you purchased downloaded to the laptop you are using with the Traktor software or an external HD connected to the laptop you won't have access to the music because it is still in the Cloud or the device you purchased this on... This becomes VERY HELPFUL though I learned and here's why...
When I DJ an event I keep iTunes Store open on my iPhone and in the background on my laptop if someone requests a song that I don't have... I will order the song from my iPhone, once I purchase the song the iTunes which is open on my laptop will pickup the purchase and DL the song to my external HD and the folder will up date and the song will show up within a minute or so in the folder on Traktor once the folder refreshes.
3) If you are paying for an Apple Family Membership and looking to access the iTunes Streaming library at this time we cannot access that music which is a total BUMMER it sometimes stinks having to buy music if you may only play it once... I WISH they would change that access.
4) If you buy your music from iTunes make it a habit to open your Traktor software the night before your gig and make sure you iTunes library is up to date and all of your recent purchases have downloaded.
