How do you add a thirty party plug-in VOX effect to TRAKTOR Pro 3?

Jenna

I am trying to install a third party plug in to Traktor Pro Software. It’s a vocal effect mixer from Nuro Audio Called Xvox. I would like to use this effect on my voice when I’m playing a set in traktor and weaving live vocals in. The Native Instruments support team suggested this. 👇

"One suggestion would be to add it to a track in your DAW and then utilize a virtual bus application such as Soundflour or Blackhole to route it into Traktor.
 
To minimize latency, you could also consider using an audio interface to capture the signal from the microphone, process it in a DAW, and then output it through a cable into S3 on a LIVE INPUT deck."

Does anyone know how to do this? Any suggestions would be helpful. Thank you! 🙏

What DAW are you using?

I use Ableton Live side by side with Traktor and a KontrolS5, and I assign the Ableton output to "Traktor Kontrol S5 (ASIO)" I would assume that its the same for the S3's audio driver.

So if you have a DAW, open it alongside Traktor and see if it can share the same output. If it can, then check to see if your DAW allows an input from the S3's mic. If it does, you are in business. If it doesnt, you will need to either use your laptop's mic input, or use a USB audio device that you can plug a mic into.

Then create a track, put that Xvox VST on it and youre set.

So I guess you use a mac? So you should be able to use another app side by side with traktor to apply that effect on your voice. And set the same output as master as in traktor. You could use garage band for example. So the voice then does not go through traktor cause you can't load FX plugins within traktor. With that method you don't need to route it through traktor at all but you then can't also not set the level within traktor as with the method native support mentioned. But you could use a small midi controller to do that and then even control the voice FX. I'm not a mac user myself but the other method is basically the same but you route audio from your voice FX host to one input of traktor (live deck) with a virtual audio cable like black hole. I'm not a mac user myself so I can't give you a step by step guide for that. You make an aggregated audio device with your audio interface and the virtual cable so your programs traktor and your FX host "see" it as one interface. There are also videos out there describing it in general. Audio hijack could also be an option but I don't know if this is free but you would then don't need a host, this app can do all for you in one thing as far as I could find out.
