Audio From Traktor into Ableton w Kontrol S5 on PC - Jack Audio v1.9.22

DJ5D

I've been trying to route Traktor into Ableton to use the superior FX in Live, and I'm almost there using Jack Audio, but i cant get it to work for more than 5 minutes.

All the vids out there are either 10 years old or for Mac, I'm on win10, and documentation/tutorials on Jack v 1.9.22 is pretty much non-existent.

Has anyone successfully used Jack Audio with the Kontrol S5, Traktor and Ableton?

If you did please tell me how to got it to work. I'm open to other solutions as well.

Figured it out, for any who want to duplicate.

Forget about Jack Audio (as of the June 2024 builds) its buggy and complicated.

Understanding it, and getting it working, is a minimal effort.

For testing, I just created a basic virtual 8 in 8 out (more is required if you want all 4 Traktor decks separate in Ableton) assigned the outs in Traktor and the ins on Ableton with the same device, then sent it to the Kontrol S5 Master as seen below. Enable all controls in the Traktor Mixer external section. Im still figuring out how to map the S5's faders to ableton (not as easy as I assumed) but when i get it all done, i will post a how to.
