Please help, I cant get the setup correct..

I am tearing my hair out trying to integrate traktor into my studio. I have 3 channel vestax mixer with line in out and phono and firewire 410 sound card. how do i connect everything to run traktor through my mixer??

 

Just a guess really as I use Traktor's mixer, but I would imagine that you have to select 'External' from the Output Routing in Traktor's Preferences.
Then assign the decks you will use to the outputs on your sound card using the drop-down.
You probably have to connect the same outputs (with leads) to inputs on your mixer.

I hope that's of some help.

 

1) Install Icecast server to recieve your stream from Traktor. Set it up as a service in windows.

ok

2) Set Traktor to connect to your local Icecast server (eg 127.0.0.1:8000) at the highest bitrate (192)

ok

3) Start an instance of Winamp and open preferences. Set you input plug in to vorbis. Connect to your local IceCast server. You should see the EQ light up then set the volume to zero.

Is this "NULLSoft Vorbis Decoder 1.46"?


So, I tried to connect my winamp to the url : 127.0.0.1:8000 and it says "error synching to stream"


No EQ lights up


I'm confused, this step by step isn't newbie clear enough for me.


Thanks four your time.
