I got the s5, a gigaport ex and what I want to do is output the sound of the 4 decks to 4 decks in ableton.
What I want to do is have the audio output of the decks controlled by each channel fader, going into ableton in order to run some effects and instruments.
I also want to retain cue control per channel from the s5 and have it outputting on the headphones plugged into the s5.
Basically use ableton as an effects unit. I do not have an external mixer to run the channels to that with the gigaport ex.
I will use another midi controller to control the sound of the effects on live but I think there must be something more to be done there more than just selecting input channels and using link?
So far what I have done:
I have installed blackhole in order to use it as a virtual audio card. For some reason with my yesterdays attempts I got the fader of each channel to control the volume out to the 4 audio tracks on ableton (not mapped in ableton, all done with the normal mode of the s5).
The issue I was facing was my audio cue that I was trying to figure out.
I decided to recompile blackhole in order to get less channels as traktor was crashing when I was selecting it as an output. I limited it to 8 channels.
Today for some reason I only get 12 outputs on the output routing on traktor even though my aggregate device has 28.
I am not sure what I am doing wrong or even if this is the correct way to do this but I cannot figure it out.
What i am getting now is not able to control the channels with the faders (but crosffader goes from a to b) and headphones are controlled by the cue vol knob.
Hope this made some sense.
