So, I'm using S4 mk3 with Traktor pro3 - DECK A,B and C is for mixing songs etc (standard DJ jobs), but DECK D I'm using for Ableton Live input. How?
I connect headphones out on my laptop to line in on DECK D, switch signal to EXT and all works great! And I'm using ableton and traktor on same laptop, Ableton uses integrated laptop soundcard and ASIO drivers.
But - because of latency and some glitches, I want to use external soundcard for ableton.
1.) My goal is to buy entry level audio interface like Komplete Audio 1, and use that interface for soundcard for Ableton. Same way I will connect OUT from Komplete Audio to IN on S4 mk3.
Will this give me better and more stable audio signal to S4 mixer? Sometimes headhone output "crash" audio signal, it gets weird, then I need to restart audio driver inside in Ableton.
2.) Does S4 mk3 have ability to use lets say DECK D channel for Ableton soundcard (asio)?
Let say that I want to use DECK D for Ableton driver (multi asio client), without cable.
In Ableton, can I select Traktor S4 mk3 for "asio soundcard", and then use DECK D just for Ableton?
I didnt try this solution, I cant try it till weekend, but my friend wants to sell my cheap Audio 1 interface (about 30 dollars).
Maybe just to buy audio interface?
