Hi,
I am running a Maschine mk3/ Maschin Jam currently trying to sync with Serato Dj PRO 3.2
I want to be able to create live loops on the fly with Maschine in time with Serato. I'm only familiar with the basics of Ableton Link and it's capbilities/limits.
Cujrrently
1) 've been able get the two linked successful tempos change responding from
both units.
2) sync on maschine is set off (the only other choice is send)
but i want the Serato pro to be the master. (don't see any where to set that)
3) Right now It seems Maschine does pause when I stop, and then press play again,
maybe trying to sync to Serato Dj Pro, but it's hard to tell if it's exact. It feels kind of loose.
Not sure if this is a beat grid issue not set up properly.
4) If i stop Serato DJ Pro, for example,
can i control if Maschine also stops, at current it keeps playing,
and Serato won't start up right back on time with it.
(this is for when i'm kind of creating beats on the fly and then mixing back into serato)
If someone could help me understand the basic mechanics and if i'm doing it correctly would be greatly appreciated.
I'm currently looking at X1 Mk3 / Traktor 4 pro instead but not sure if it will really sync better with Maschine through some internal means, as they are both using ableton Link.
Ideally would love the cliips to be in time, stop and starting. Wondering if it's always necessary to nudge a little bit… or..
Many thanks
Marcus
