Connect Ableton Live and Traktor Pro from Zettt on Vimeo.
People always ask me if it’s better to DJ with NI Traktor or Ableton Live. If I am making a mix that will be released as a CD/album I usually do it slowly in Ableton Live (aka not real time). If I am in front of an audience I would definitely use Traktor. Honestly, I never considered using them both at the same time until I came across the video above from Zettt.
“This video shows how you can connect Ableton Live and Traktor Pro on your Mac. It uses Soundflower from Cycling74 and Mac OS’ integrated IAC Driver.” – Zettt
While on the computer DJ subject a friend of mine let me play around with his M-Audio Xponent and Torq software and I loved it.

Traktor Pro is amazing. I mixed for nine hours yesterday and the only problems I had were due to human error. I used SoundFlower and a DV camera to broadcast my mix to a house party on the other side of the country via Mogulus and it went off without a hitch.
The one thing Traktor doesn’t do so well is effects, which is where this sort of internal wiring comes in really handy.
I used them together at a few shows, though I was using Traktor Scratch so I just routed the output of Live out of the Audio 8 DJ and into channel 3 of my mixer. Using the AIC MIDI Driver is a neat trick tho.
Hey Oliver,
Good job duder, any idea if this sunflower software can allow me to sync 2 laptops running traktor 3 by sending and receiving midi?
Cool video, very good information.
I have a question: can this be done to play with Traktor Scratch Pro? i.e can I do this setup and play with the audio 8 dj interface and the timecode vinyls??
Please tell me how…. thanks!!
