    Hello,

    I have read a lot but didnt find a good solution:

    I want to use Traktor und use Maschine Mikro 2 for adding drums live or drum/sequence patterns to the mix.
    The PC is a windows 10 device with just onboard sound.

    I learned that with the latest versions you don't need the MIDI sync anymore and instead can use the Ableton link buttons. Correct?

    But the question remains how to integrate the maschine audio signal into traktor.

    I see these possibilities:
    1. Just choose Traktor Kontrol S5 as the Sound device in Maschine. The most simple solutions but with no possibility to assign the maschine audiostream to a traktor deck for mixing right? Volume control for maschine onlay possible in maschine.
    2. Buy an audio interface which is chosen in Maschine as output and connects with a cable to the line in of Kontrol S5. Mixing should be possible but for the price auf the Mikro plus Audiointerface I could have nearly bought a maschine MK3 with build in audio interface.

    Maybe s.o. has an idea that ist possible without buying an audio device, a maschine MK3 or waiting for a mikro MK3 with build in audio?

    I am testing a similar setup - Maschine MK3 going to live audio input of Traktor S4. It is a lot of fun using Traktor FX on Maschine signal, but there is a huge latency problem - I don't know if it is my 2010 Macbook Pro running Traktor, but there is a noticeable flamming between beats from Traktor decks and Maschine... And live looping in Maschine is also quite impossible, since this lag makes it impossible to be precise in playing an instrument... I am thinking of getting an analog mixer, that would certainly eliminate digital latency :D

    I know this is just a warmup a couple of years later,

    but I tried to integrate my Maschine into my Traktor DJing setup with all possible setups and still have the latency that sevdahbaby mentions.
    In the end I got myself a 2nd Hand F1 with the Sequencermapping.

    Simply made one channel in Traktor live in and in Maschine sync it and it will work I have video on YouTube if you need to see and I used Laptop 4GB RAM and dual Sh!?@ CPU and I had no problems about for hour without dropouts and clicks
