    I was wondering if anybody can help me out. I've just bought Traktor S8 plus Maschine Studio, I'm having trouble getting any sound from Maschine going through the S8. I have them synced together and they are reading each other but the sound from maschine will only play out through my laptop speakers. I know it's probably a quick fix but I've hit a wall and I need some help figuring it out. Is there a way to assign maschine to one of the S8's Decks?

    In maschine software menus, go to audio midi settings, pick the s8 as the audio device and set up an output port. If you want to mix maschine output in traktor make sure they are on different output ports.

    I'd run a cable from maschine output ports into a spare input port of the s8.

    In traktor make a deck a live input and choose the ports you just ran the cable to.


    That will work perfectly, but it's awkward to explain. Hope that helps

    Hi Jas,
    Thanks for the response, I have Maschine's sound coming out of my sound system now but It's not assigned to a channel.
    I'm not sure what cables you would use as the Maschine only has midi out cable slots?

    audio cables. You want to take the audio from machine software and use it in traktor, so you need to run an rca/phono cable from the s8 output maschine is set to and plug it into a spare input on the s8.

    If the S8 does not have a spare output you could run the maschine through the standard laptop output and run a cable from that to the s8
