Route Audio from Mac Through Traktor

enyko

I feel like there is an easy answer here but I cannot seem to find it.

How do I route the audio from my Mac (Music, Spotify, YouTube...etc.) to one of the channels in Traktor? I was able select my S4 as the audio source so it played through Traktor and then out the speakers. But it was not assigned to any channel so I was unable to control the volume. Aside from the master volume.

In practice, I'm DJ-ing a wedding where I will be utilizing channels A & B for my mixing. Channels C & D are not used currently. For dinner, I prefer to use the Music app (previously iTunes) to shuffle the music. I'd like to send this to C or D so I can bring the volume up or down.

Does this make sense?

Thanks!

There used to be an app for Mac called Soundflower allowing to route audio between apps

You need a "fake" / simulated audio device. For example soundflower or Jack.

Here are a few older examples, maybe you can find something more up to date yourself:
