How Do I Get Two Turntables (and Pioneer 250MK2) To Work In Traktor Pro 4

ericsch4

I had Traktor Pro 4 working for digital tracks with my Pioneer 250MK2 mixer, and am now wanting to record a strictly vinyl set… even with much research, I'm not getting a reaction in the Live Recording area in Traktor from both turntables. Pioneer 250-MK2 already has a pre-amp, and I have both decks set to Phono on the mixer. I get sound from turntables coming out of Master (my sound system) as well as Headphones. So I can play a set live and get sound, but I'm just having trouble having the music actually send into Traktor and record it. Thank you!

1.) You have the DJM-Control Panel software installed? Make sure that in USB output settings a pair of channels is configured as Rec Out. According to the manual it should be USB 5/6 by default.

2.) Go to Traktor preferences. Select Audio Setup and select your DJM-250Mk2.

3.) Select Output Routing and check that Traktor is set to External Mixing mode.

4.) Select Input Routing: Select USB 5/6 as input for one of your decks or FX Send input. If you want to use Traktor Scratch/DVS make sure to choose a deck you don't want to use with DVS.

5.) Select Mix Recorder: Select external source and choose the deck (or FX Send) you assigned USB 5/6 input in step 4.

Thank you! I don't know why but it had me assign "Input Deck A" for Mix Recorder and these as my Input Routing

But I just opened a 20 second WAV recording in iTunes going between both turntables while adjusting levels and panning, and everything was captured in that 20 seconds! So I'm ready. Thank you again.

As yo selected Deck A in Mix Recorder you should change your input routing so that you have Input 5 as Left on Deck A and Input 6 as Right on Deck A. The way it is in your picture you record just the left channel (but twice).
