Help using Maschine as external fx for traktor

    Hi all,


    I'm having trouble using maschine as external fx. I'll try to explain my set up
    as best as I can as I think it may just be a noob signal routing issue.

    My set up uses an external mixer (analog w/ effects loop), win 7 laptop with
    traktor scratch pro 2.
    I use one A10, Maschine has already been synced to Traktor's master clock
    using instructions from DJ Endo's youtube video.

    I'm currently using channels A & B for my turntables going into A10, outs going
    back into the mixer's respective channel.

    Input & Output in Traktor for Channel A & B is set as A & B left and right.

    Currently, the in & out routing is the same in maschine. A & B is activated.

    The only way I can use the external fx using this set up is to put my channel A
    on live input. Even though I can switch the inputs around in Maschine, it only
    works with Live input on channel A.

    Since changing the inputs in maschine doesn't seem to work, I was thinking of
    using the effects loop so I can use the fx on my main outputs instead of being
    limited to one channel.

    Is anyone using Maschine as external fx for traktor? If so, could you be so kind
    to shed light on how I should change my routings? Thanks in advance.

    I'm able to use maschine as external fx now.
    I needed to change the output routing in the
    fx module
    to the proper output to hear it.
    Still, I'm limited to using this set up with live
    input only. If I use it with timecoded vinyl,
    I get a loud whine constantly. I can only get
    it to work with scratch by hooking up the
    maschine through my fx loop in my mixer.
