TSP Problems!

ok so i have installed TSP and setup up the audio 8 dj but traktor doesnt seem to recognise the audio 8 dj? now im running a mac and traktor 1.2.2 version and someone told me that traktor at this version doesnt work with macs ? can anyone help me to properly set up traktor with my mac!

 

I would recommend upgrading to the lastest ver of traktor 1.2.6. Make sure you update service centre as well.

 

download the latest patch

in the setup you can chose to install the audio 8 driver with it

 

thanks for replying so quick! i now have updated to the 1.2.6 version of TSP now how do i get my computer or even traktor to recognise the audio 8 dj ? what am i doing wrong ?

 

did you let it install the driver?

did you have the audio 8 plugged in while that?
that could cause problems

 

Welcome to the forum.

First off you need to stop listening to the guy that told you that.
In fact i would question that persons grip on reality

What have you done to set Traktor up?
What connections have you made?
There is a detailed step-by-step on how to connect the Audio 8. Have you followed it..?

Traktor will have installed into a new location. You will have to update the icon that you use to point to the new version. You are probably still starting 1.2.2. Make sure you run the wizard on startup and tick that you have an audio 8. As Karlos mentioned there is detiled step by step to help you.

 

ok... so i unistalled everything... i installed the 1.2.6 version and it work my computer now recognised the audio8. how ever im not getting an signal in my routing set up ? on the audio out all the lights are on the input mode and when i press the button to select cd/line nothing happens all the lights just stay on its like the button is broken or something. Now i also heard i may need to update the driver... so i think i did that dont know what the latest version is but i got it off the NI updates i think it came out the 22 of the 10 09 ? still though i am not running the program succesfully im not getting any signal!

 

is software lock activated?

try changing it in traktor itself int he timecode menu

 

will do now thankyou

yes the timecode is set to cd/line. on the audio 8 the input mode lights are still on for all 4 modes including the software lock light is on ? how do i correct this

 

you can permanently deacitvate it by starting the audio 8 dj settings program

but it's weird that you weren't getting ANY signal

do your leds light up when running the cdjs?

 

yes i no something is up with my drivers? my led on the audio 8 are on . i got no channel a or b leds on just the usb midi in ou the line source down the bottom on channel c and the outsource of the head[hones led lights? oh and also the input mode lights there all on. how do i change the audio 8 dj settings ?

 

went through that trouble shooting guide. i think it is still my computer not recognises the audio 8 dj. i am running a macbook pro i7 2010 model. Now the one conclusion i came up with is that my macbooks doesnt have 2.0 usb ports ? so i went out and bought a powered 2.0 USB hub. still nothing ?
---
oh the reason i assumed this is because in system profiler Contents hardware and under USB the audio 8 dj isnt listed ? starting to get worried
---
ok news up date. is it possible to blow the led on the audio 8 dj ? i kept un plugging and plugging it back in then half the input mode lights werent on so i was left with the phono led and software lock then i did it again and those two lights are now out ?

 

can you confirm - do you have the Audio 8 Settings Tool installed (it's a small icon which appears on the right of your menu bar if you enable the 'autostart' mode

 

? i use a mac?
---
well when i go into my apps and go to the audio 8 and click on the setting nopthing comes up so how do i install this ?
im pretty sure the audio 8 driver is installed but it seems the only possibilty it isnt thought ay ?

 

Your Mac has USB 2.0.
Have you tried changing the USB cable. If your Mac does not show the Audio 8 in System Profile then you should start with the most obvious issue. The cable.
